This unit focuses on theories, methods, and techniques for TEFL. This unit first describes a number of historically used and common theories of teaching English, and then proceeds to describe the method this course is bases on, ESA. One critical strength of the ESA method is that it fosters elicitation, which is critical for language learning. During the "Engage" stage of ESA the teacher helps the class gain an interest in the lesson and warm up in using the English language. During the study phase the teacher first elicits from the students, then concretely teaches the topic of the lesson and drills the students on the correct usage. Lastly, during the activation stage students are encouraged to use all the language they know, including what they have learned during the lesson. This unit closes with a discussion of the effective ways to correct student mistakes, and what is appropriate in the various stages.
