Why ESA is Still the Most Effective Methodology in the English Language Classroom - TEFL Blog
Mark Crocker
Alumni Experiences
Throughout my ITTT TEFL course a specific teaching concept persisted, entitled "ESA". This methodology has been proven over several years to be effective in teaching English to students in the classroom. A precursor to this concept was "PPP" (Presentation, Practice, Production) which has been used by many teachers, though it lacks in engaging the students resulting in a less successful environment. Jeremy Harmer noticed this and in turn put forth a new and improved model, labeled "ESA", consisting of three steps; Engage, Study, and Activate. This methodology has continued to remain relevant to this day through its flexible and fluid approach to teaching English.

What are the most effective teaching techniques for promoting language acquisition in a TEFL classroom? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is a widely used approach in TEFL classrooms that focuses on real-life communication rather than rote memorization of grammar rules. In CLT, students engage in meaningful communication activities such as role-plays, discussions, and information gap tasks. This approach encourages students to use the language in authentic situations, fostering fluency and confidence in their language skills. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding students in their language use rather than correcting every mistake. By emphasizing communication over accuracy, CLT promotes language acquisition in a natural and engaging way.
Task-Based Learning (TBL) is another effective technique for promoting language acquisition in a TEFL classroom. In TBL, students work on tasks that... [Read more]

What are the most common misconceptions about teaching English abroad with a TEFL certificate? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT TEFL & TESOL
One common misconception about teaching English abroad with a TEFL certificate is the belief that fluency in the local language is necessary. While it can be helpful to know some of the local language to navigate daily life, most TEFL teaching positions actually require teachers to conduct classes solely in English. In fact, being a native or near-native English speaker is often a primary requirement for these positions, as the goal is to create an immersive English-speaking environment for students. Therefore, while knowing the local language can be advantageous, it is not a prerequisite for teaching English abroad with a TEFL certificate.
Another misconception is that obtaining a TEFL certification guarantees immediate employment as an English teacher abroad. While having a TEFL... [Read more]
