This unit introduced different methodologies of teaching a foreign language. The main focus however was on the ESA approach, engage - study - activate.
In the Engage phase, students are encouraged to talk in English, to get them 'started'. This can be done through prompts, for example starting with introductions, or collecting words for certain topics. But also through different word games.
During the Study phase, new grammar, vocabulary etc. are learned or previous topics repeated as need be. This is the phase where most corrections should be done.
In the Activate phase the language, including what was newly learned in the Study phase, is used. This can be done through role-plays, communication games or creative writing activities.
In this lesson I have found the examples that were given for the structuring of the lesson very useful, as well as the different activity suggestions.
