Unit 3 focuses on the various theories, methods and teaching techniques that have been popular in various time periods. From the grammar-translation method to task-based learning to the lexical approach. All methods have their own pros and cons and have, all in their own way, contributed to our current understanding of how people can learn a language most effectively. Over time there has been a shift from teacher-centred teaching methods towards more student-centred teaching methods with a strong emphasis on actively using the language in the classroom. Most TEFL classes today follow the ESA (Engage, Study, Activate) method that was put forward by Jeremy Harmer.
