In this unit, two videos demonstrating two different ESA lessons given by the same teacher. The difference between the level of comprehension and participation of the students depends on the teacher's attitude and his presentation of the content. In the first lesson, the teacher appears uninterested in the students and begins the lesson with the lesson topic (study phase) instead of eliciting participation from the students first. He then proceeds to call out students mistakes, seem frustrated with wrong answers and fails to clearly demonstrate the point of the lesson. This leaves an uncomfortable atmosphere in the classroom and creates an environment in which the students don't want to participate and are not grasping the material. In the second lesson however, the teacher begins the class with a smile and is much more friendly and engaging. He engages the students with an elicitation technique at the beginning of the class and clearly demonstrates the topic of the lesson by allowing the students to share their knowledge and participate for most of the lesson. The effectiveness of the second lesson is clear by the level of engagement, and comfort of the students.
