While learning a new language, students need to be exposed to it, understand its meaning, understand how it’s constructed and be able to practice and produce it. The teacher’s job is finding a balanced and manageable way to introduce the new language to students, included vocabulary, grammar, and functions. While teaching vocabulary, the teacher should know what do students need to know about a vocabulary item. Meanwhile, the teacher need to select the appropriate words. The techniques for vocabulary teaching is also important. The ‘straight arrow’ ESA structure would be suitable for teaching vocabulary. While teaching grammar, the teacher should help students know the meaning of the language, how it is used, forms and patterns, spoken and written form. The ‘straight arrow’ or ‘patchwork’ ESA structures would be helpful in this situation. While teaching language functions, the teacher need to help students understand the appropriacy of the language in terms of the kind of language they use – formal, informal, technical etc. The ‘boomerang’ or ‘patchwork’ ESA structures would be effective for teaching functions.
