Methodology aspects to highline of the English lessons

1. Using corners with the whole group
   There are four corners to work on: listening, reading, vobulary and project. They work in groups of five, and the groups stay in the same corner two days. The teacher promotes the cooperation and she tries to make pupils understand that they are a team. She goes around helping pupils, but she normally stays with the group of the project.
2. Project: All about me
   This project consists in creating a poster with some personal information: Family, favourite food, pets, clothes and fruit. They have to present the poster orally and the teacher records them. There are some basic instructions: clear voice, eye contact, how to solve a mistake during the oral presentation... Then, the poster is hanged on the walls of the corridor, and the rest of the school can have a look at them.
3. Individual attention
   If the teacher realises that something is not working properly or some pupils don't achieve the objectives established in each corner, she asks them to come to her office and to solve the doubts, correct the mistakes or continue the work that has not been finished.
4. Management of the class
   Some days pupils are more nervous, normally when they come from the playground or there has been an argument. Then, the teacher makes them read for a while, ten minutes more or less. She told me that it is a very useful strategy, it does not matter if they are reading in catalan. The habit of reading is something that pupils must have. In addition, it is a good example to read while they are reading, because teachers are examples, and students tend to imitate teachers' attitudes.
