I usually stick to PPP but I use ESA quite often as well. It's more engaging for our students, I guess. When we mix the activities, break the rhythm of the class from time to time, it makes our classes more engaging and less monotonous. :) What about you, Nasreddine? :) Whats's your favourite lesson plan structure?
MFP, Meaning, Form and Pronunciation, the best
The first phase is an INTRODUCTION or starter activity, which includes the presentation of the Learnerning objectives for that lesson. In the second phase, the teacher presents new information about a topic, possibly demonstrating a skill, or developing learners.

Presentation, practice and production!
Presentation, practice and production have proven results. The key portion of Engage, Study and Activate is "Engage". Especially for new students. Implementing this method of teaching keeps the students interested and motivated to learn more. Engage, Explore, Elaborate and Evaluate. These training methods are pretty self-explanatory. Key here is to evaluate the students' progress on a timely basis.
I prefer to use the PPP lesson structure, I do however pay close attention to the needs of my students and adapt my lesson structure accordingly.

It is often believed that less is more and more is less but I will say it totally depends on the tutor and student relationship to a certain degree; because once there is understanding between the two, the tutor will be focused on helping students meet their goals even for less. But tutors with cheap lessons has it as a strategy to gain and retain more students, which is good.
