IN THIS LESSON WE CAN SEE THE GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LESSON BASED ON THE ESA METHOD AND ANOTHER ONE CARRIED OUT WITH A VERY DIFFERENT APPROACH. THE FIRST VIDEO SHOWS A VERY COLD ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TEACHER FROM ONE HAND AND ALL THE STUDENTS FROM THE OTHER IS VERY HUGE. I COULD TOUCH AND FEEL THE EMBARRASSMENT OF THE STUDENT. BUT, OF COURSE! THE TEACHER NEVER SMILES AND HE DIDN'T INTRODUCE HIMSELF OR ASK NAME TO STUDENTS. HE ALSO PRETENDED CORRECT ANSWERS FROM STUDENT WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS INTRODUCTION OF THE THEME. SO, THE RESULT WAS A TEACHER FOCUSED LESSON WITH NO PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS WHO WERE SO SHIES AND INSECURE. THE FACE OF TEACHER LOOKED VERY FRUSTRATED AND ALL THE LESSON WAS VERY INEFFECTIVE AND BORING TO. THE SECOND VIDEO SHOWS AN OPPOSITE SCENE: THE TEACHER WAS SMILING ALL THE TIME AND ALSO HE USED SPEAK CLEARER AND SLOWER IN COMPARISON OF FIRS VIDEO. HE WAS VERY KIND TO INTRODUCE HIM SELF AND ASK STUDENTS TO DO THE SAME (STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO PUT ON THEIR TABLE A PAPER WITH THEIR NAME WRITTEN ON). THE SECOND VIDEO HAS BEEN A GREAT EXAMPLE OF AN ESA METHOD CLASS. THERE WERE EASILY IDENTIFIED THE THREE PHASES OF ENGAGE, STUDY AND ACTIVATE AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THIS METHOD LOOKS GREAT! STUDENTS WERE SO ENTHUSIAST AND SELF CONFIDENT WITH THE TEACHER AND LESSON TO. THEY FELT COMFORTABLE IN ANSWERING AND VERY INTERESTED FOR ALL THE DURATION OF THE LESSON, IN ALL THE THREE PHASES IT WAS BEEN STRUCTURED.
