  Now an example of a straight arrow ESA lesson for our engage phase. What we're going to do is to show the students a video of animals and they are going to say what they like about those animals and try to create a list of some more. So, remember what we're trying to do here is to get the students talking and thinking in English. We're using a typical engage activity, which is to create a list and we try to make sure that all the students have been involved in some way in creating those lists. Moving on to the study phase, the first part is going to be the board work and the teacher is going to try to elicit from the students what each of those animals can and can't do. Typically, what the students will say is just single words, so "run," "jump," "fly," etc. What we would then...  [Read more]

Federico Riva Alumni Experiences The English language is becoming a global language, and many people are aspiring to learn the language for different reasons such as to gain work opportunities, for school, to communicate with friends and many more. From my experience, the best way to learn the English language is to go to classes whether they are regular or special classes. Learning English in the classroom is a fulfilling thing, especially to students whose English is not their first language. They get to learn the fundamentals of the language so that they have a better experience in their later years. However, teachers face an uphill task in managing the classroom so that they can provide a conducive learning environment for students to learn....  [Read more]

Federico Riva Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas How do you teach just one student using the communicative approach? Here we discuss how you can adapt to this particular teaching situation. The category of teaching individuals is also known as teaching one-to-one and it forms a very large part of the ESL teaching market. Teaching one-to-one has some positive and negatives about it. Perhaps the main positive is that because you've only got that single student you're only ever working at one learner level so there's no chance of any mixed ability. With only one student perhaps the main potential negative point if we're not careful is that there is very little dynamic with only two people (you and the student). This means that you...  [Read more]

  So let's have a look now what might take place in a typical writing lesson and, again, we're going to use the format of a straight arrow ESA lesson. Our first stage is to the go to the engage stage and, if we think back to what we said before, what we need to do is try to generate interest. So, an example here could be we show a picture first of all taken from a newspaper or magazine and then we can ask the students some questions. From looking at the picture we can ask them if they can tell us what is actually happening now as shown by the picture. Then, we can generate a bit more interest by asking them to give us ideas about what they thought was happening before this picture took place and what happened after. So, here we're just trying to build up the idea of a sequence of...  [Read more]
