In this unit I learned about teaching grammar and vocabulary. The difficulty of vocabulary is based off factors such as pronunciation and spelling or the similarity it has to the students native language. Selecting the type of vocabulary to use should be based off it's appropriateness and frequency of use. It is also good to choose vocabulary that is teachable to the correct audience. There are many techniques within the ESA method to help teach vocabulary. Pictures and discussions are great for the "Engage" phase. Gap fill and matching exercises are perfect for the "Study" phase. Role play activities and story building are great for the "Activate" phase. The same types of activities can be applied to teaching grammar as well. Class discussions, sentence building, and communication games are great activities for a grammar building ESA lesson. The "Patchwork" method is great way to teach a grammar lesson, it involves high participation, lots of talk time, and active classroom participation.
