  This presentation is going to focus on the ESA methodology of teaching. In our teaching methodologies section, we briefly had a look at what ESA was about, but in this presentation, we're going to look in greater detail about that particular methodology. This particular methodology is accredited to Jeremy Harmer from his "Practice of English language Teaching" book. It's a three-stage methodology and what we're going to do is to look at the purpose of each one of these stages and some typical activities that take place during those stages. So, the first stage is known as the engage and its sole purpose, as the name implies, is to get the students talking and thinking in English. There is no reason whatsoever, when these students come to your class, that they should have said a...  [Read more]

  And so on to the final phase of the ESA lesson, which is called the activate phase. What we have done so far, if you remember, is to engage the students, to get them talking and thinking in English, where possible we've elicited the teaching point from the students and covered any gaps in knowledge to make sure that the teaching point has been fully covered and then we've checked understanding of that teaching point by asking targeted and specific questions. Usually the types of activities that we've done for the study phase will involve using a single word in order to answer those questions correctly this, however, is not how language is actually used. When we use language, we always use it in some form of context. So the purpose of the activate activity is to put that teaching...  [Read more]

  This video is part of our ESA Methodology series. The ESA methodology consists of three stages. In this series, we look at the individual purposes of each stage and typical activities for each stage. This second video introduces the study phase of ESA. The purpose of this phase is to cover the actual teaching of the lesson and to check the understanding of that material.The second stage or phase of the lesson is known as the study phase and really the purpose of this phase is to cover the actual teaching of the lesson and to check understanding of that material. Typically in an ESA lesson, the study phase will have two parts. The first phase of the study is to cover the actual teaching component in what's known as the board work and what we try to do in the board work phase is to...  [Read more]

I have had some experience trying to teach most of these, but I have very little familiarity with phrasal verbs. One time one of my co-workers asked me about it and I hadn't even heard of the name. So it was very useful to get more acquainted with the definition and types of phrasal verbs. It's also something I think students often have trouble with, since they already have lots of trouble with prepositions, so I...  [Read more]

From this unit, one should be able to identify parts of speech such as adverbs, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. It is important to understand this part of the English language as it builds sentences; without a solid understanding of the unit, teaching English to anyone of another language will prove difficult.

While the teacher demonstrated a number of shortcomings in the first video, I found his dismissiveness, impatience, and his overall absence of rapport with the students to be the most objectionable characteristics of his teaching approach. The teacher's behavior in the second video illustrated the power of a smile and a few encouraging words and gestures to encourage students to actively participate in a lesson. I also noted the...  [Read more]

The content covered each form of the present tense. It was very nice to see everything in such detail. In my Latin courses, during our translations we did not go as far as to specify differences between present perfect, present continuous, or present simple, instead we lumped it all together as present. In contrast, we extensively covered future perfect tense. Though I was aware that these different forms existed, and had an idea of the uses for...  [Read more]

This was a crucial lesson because it has immense practical value, but probably is often overlooked in comparison to the more grammar focused lessons. Although content is extremely important as well, without effective class management, the content will never be absorbed effectively by the students. Class management is important in any educational setting, but is even more vital in a TEFL setting because of the potential cultural and linguistic gaps. This...  [Read more]
