The document discusses strategies for teaching English as a foreign language through explaining new content. It explains that new content is typically presented using a three-step process: lead-in/elicitation, explanation, and practice/performance. When explaining new content, teachers should demonstrate both meaning and language construction. For meaning, they can use gestures, facial expressions, pictures, diagrams and timelines. For language construction, they model sentences and phrases, isolate parts for students to repeat, and have students return to the original model.
