IN THIS UNIT IT IS POSSIBLE TO APPLY THE ESA METHOD IN TEACHING GRAMMATICAL, VOCABULARY AND FUNCTIONS. IT IS COMMON OPINION THAT TEACHING GRAMMAR AND STRUCTURE DEPENDS OF STUDENTS LEVEL. TEACHING VOCABULARY INSTEAD SHOULD FOLLOW DIFFERENT CRITERIA: NEW ITEMS SHOULD BE APPROPRIATE WITH STUDENTS AND TASKS, USAGE AND COVERAGE, MEANING, SPELLING AND PRONUNCIATION. AMONG THE 3 ESA METHODS WE KNOW, MAYBE THE BEST ONE IS THE BOOMERANG ONE BUT THERE IS NO A RULE OF COURSE. WHEN WE WANT TEACH NEW VOCABULARY, WE CAN ENGAGE STUDENTS WITH SOME PICTURES OR ACTIONS AND MIME. IN THE STUDY PHASE WE CAN GIVE SOME TASK SHEET SUCH AS CROSSWORD OR SEARCH WORDS OR FILL GAP SENTENCES AND MATCHING WORDS WITH THE MEANING OR THE OPPOSITE. UN THE ACTIVATE STUDY WE CAN ASK STUDENTS TO WORK IN PAIRS IN ORDER TO PRACTICE NEW WORDS. WE CAN ARRANGE A GRAMMATICAL LESSON ENGAGING STUDENTS WITH SOME NEWSPAPER OR BROCHURE AND ENGAGE STUDENTS WITH QUESTIONS AND OPINIONS. IN THE NEXT STUDY PHASE WE CAN GIVE MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE GRAMMATICAL RULES BY WRITING A DIALOG OR GIVING GAP FILL SENTENCES OR LET STUDENTS MATCH QUESTIONS WITH THE CORRECT AN SWEAR. IN THE ACTIVATE STAGE STUDENTS CAN HAVE ORAL DIALOG AMONG THEMSELVES. TEACH A NEW LANGUAGE INCLUDES ALSO ITS FUNCTIONS SUCH AS INVITING, REFUSING, ASKING. WE HAVE TO TEACH THE FORMAL AND INFORMAL WAY AND LET STUDENTS UNDERSTAND DIFFERENCES THAT COULD BE BETWEEN WRITTEN AND SPOKEN SPEECH, OR BETWEEN COMMON LIFE LANGUAGE AND TECHNICAL ONE. WHEN TEACHING LANGUAGE FUNCTIONS, IT IS VERY USEFUL APPLY BOOMERANG AND PATCHWORK ESA METHOD AND LET STUDENTS ACTIVATE WITH ROLE PLAY.
