This unit présents the most common methods and techniques used to teach English as a foreign language. The unit focuses on the 'ESA' (Engage - Study - Activate) method put forward by Jeremy Harmer. Studying unit 3 helped me to appreciate that the ESA method provides a structural 'baseline' for a lesson (Straight Arrow ESA Lesson) but at the same time allows for flexibility to adapt to student needs (Boomerang ESA Lesson, Patchwork ESA Lesson). I appreciated the numerous activities that this unit provides to teachers for the preparation of Engage, Study and Activate phases. In addition, unit 3 helped me to understand the importance of positive and clear teacher feedback to allow students to correct their own errors.
