The unit emphasizes the importance of ESA method which covers motivation, exposure, and opportunity for students to use the language and thus recommend this method be involved in planning of EFL lessons. The unit further explains that achieving success via ESA, eliciting makes an important part of this method and list lots of suggestive ideas for eliciting. The unit also gives pointers for teachers to consider when eliciting to avoid compromising the essence of the aspect. In the unit there is a detailed breakdown of ESA with lots of ideas of teaching activities that can suit the different stages. In order to better explain the method ( ESA ), examples for different of ESA like; 'Straight Arrow'ESA lesson, 'Boomerang' ESA lesson, 'Patchwork' ESA lesson are discussed in the unit.
