*Special Note: The EIF framework is supposed to work in triangular fashion moving from the tip to
the base in two ways: start with short activities that are controlled and focus on accuracy, and move
through the pyramid towards 1 fluency activity which should be the longest activity of the lesson
plan. Go from controlled activities focused on accuracy through the levels to a free activity focused
on fluency.

Controlled and Accuracy focused

Free and Fluency Focused

Controlled  Free
Accuracy  Fluency
Motivation: The motivation part is to peak interest, introduce the topic; orientate the students to that
topic (metastatements and implication can be used here). This can also be likened to a micro level
silent period where the students do not necessarily have to produce anything, but elicitation,
activating Ss’ schema, etc is a good way.

Encounter: The activities should focus on the meaning/objective of the lesson plan.
Internalization: Focus on accuracy based activities and the activities should enable all Ss a
production role  widespread practice.

Fluency: Free activities that do not use target language sheets/sources, but only what the Ss have
acquired. Props and directions are acceptable, but no language sources.

**There is another form of Lesson Plan called ESA: Engage/Study/Activate**
