In the unit theories, methods and techniques we have learned the different types of methods that can be used for the learning process. Out of all of the methods that have been presented to me, the ones that I found most appealing are Community Language learning (a teacher giving guidance outside while students are in a circle deciding the topic) and the ?ESA? method (where there are three main segments). In ?ESA?(Engage, Study and Activate) first we want to get the students interested and motivated with interactive fun activities after which we guide the students to focus on learning a lesson, afterwards we encourage students to use the language that they know and the language that they just learned. There are different kinds of ?ESA? lesson structures the most common ones are ?the straight arrow? and ?the boomerang?. With more difficult lesson plans we can use ?patchwork? which is comprised of multiple smaller sequences of ?ESA? parts. We also learned the main points of correcting students, how and when to correct them and what are the pros and cons of corrections.
