Using English the ESA Way
In teaching ESL/EFL, teachers face a lot of problems such as students’ lack of motivation, lack of exposure to the target language and lack of opportunity to use the language. A lesson approach which can be applied to solve these issues is the Engage Study Activate (ESA) method. This presentation will explain each of the three phases of this method. Attendees will participate actively in the demonstration of activities that lead to successful learning.
