First the lesson covered the factors to take into consideration when teaching vocabulary such as a learner's receptive and productive word knowledge, level of difficulty of vocabulary and how to determine what vocabulary words to introduce to students, what students need to know about vocabulary items (meaning, use, grammar, interaction, spelling and pronunciation), as well as techniques for teaching vocabulary in an ESA lesson. Next the lesson discussed how to introduce grammatical structures focusing first on the class level as well as meaning, use, forms and patterns as well as spoken vs written forms of grammatical structures. Then the lesson went over techniques for presenting and practicing language structures for a typical ESA lesson. Finally the unit covered how to teach language functions discussing different types of functions (inviting, suggesting, refusing, agreeing and disagreeing) as well as appropriateness or type of language use such as formal, informal, tentative or technical. This unit has taught me many important factors to take into consideration when teaching vocabulary, grammatical and language functions, the lesson also equipped me with many proper examples to use as modals when developing lessons of my own in this regard.
