This unit gave an overview of the various methods that have been developed for teaching language. While each of these methods have some valuable aspects, it seemed to me that these approaches were rather inflexible in their delivery. The unit then went on to describe the currently preferred method of language teaching: Engage, Study and Activate (ESA). What I found to be the strength of this approach is that it allows the students ample opportunity to just practice English conversationally. Using various exercises, instructors get the students talking, and the focus is not on proper grammar per se. Rather the focus is to get students talking and to build fluency. I also appreciated that this method allows for greater flexibility, dependent on the level of the class as well as the experience of the instructor.
