TEFL in Spain - Cadiz

This unit discussed the various ways to organize a lesson depending on what the teacher wants to accomplish. Learning a new language has many parts (vocab, grammar, language functions) and each part needs to be addressed in its own way. While following the ESA approach, a specific lesson plan can be made to each field. It is important to know the level of the students so they can see its practical use in the outside world.How can the teacher use the board to maximum effect?
