The Boomerang Method is a task-based language teaching approach. It involves engaging students, activating their existing language skills through a task, studying areas they struggled with, and then reactivating their new knowledge. The teacher observes students during the activation phase to identify gaps to address in the study phase. This ensures the lesson connects to students' needs and allows them to apply their new understanding.

E.A.S.(A) 1 AC EN ST 2 TIV GA UD AT GE Y 3 E Boomerang Approach • It is a task-based approach. • In Boomerang approach, teacher will get students’ attention - engage (E) and after the phase, teacher gets students to perform a task - activate(A) using any language they know and then, the teacher go back to the language -study (S). • The study phase is then undertaken based on what the teacher witnessed in the students’ language performance. • The teacher in short will fill in the gaps of the students’ knowledge. • To check that learning has taken place the students are then re-activated. • Engage : Students get interested in teacher’s lesson or discussion. • Activate : Students get participated in the lesson actively -Questioning and answering. • Study : Students will discover where they went wrong and they might do some controlled practice of the language. • (Activate) : Student will apply new knowledge gained from study phase into another situation. • The connection between what students need to learn and what they are taught is more obvious. • Teacher must be able to find good teaching materials. • It is more appropriate for students at the intermediate and advance levels. • In this EASA , the teacher wait for boomerang to come back before deciding what students need to study compared to in ‘straight arrows’ where teacher knows what students need.
