Time out of mind people have learned second languages. Not surprisingly, many methodologies have been developed through history. Each has appropriate applications, depending on the context of the learning and the abilities and levels of the students. The TEFL teacher ideally is familiar with these methodologies and is flexible in her teaching, incorporating the most useful elements for her class. Engage, Study & Activate (ESA) combines many of these approaches, using motivation, practice, interaction and analysis to further learning. Interaction with teacher and classmates using English promotes engagement; study of structures promotes an analytical understanding of English; and activities which apply the concepts covered provide practice in a communicative setting. With all methods, the TEFL teacher must give meaningful feedback, tailored to the needs, personality, and level of the student, remembering always the distinction between errors and mistakes.
