Tefl testimonials - The Esa Methodology Of Teaching The Activate Phase - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT


  And so on to the final phase of the ESA lesson, which is called the activate phase.

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]
