*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.

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**
