Creating environments whereyoung students (5-11) can:
• work collaboratively
• learn how to learn
• develop thinking skills and
their own learning strategies
AIMS
take responsability of theirlearning
be users of the target language(English) in motivating and meaningful contexts
learn a content THROUGH English
Lessons should focus on ‘making’ rather than ‘doing’.
Students of all ages have to be users and producers of English (not only consumers)

Strategies
A learning strategy is a person's approach to learning
and using information. Students who do not know or
use good learning strategies often learn passively and
ultimately fail in school.
Learning strategy instruction focuses on making the
students more active learners by teaching them how to
learn and how to use what they have learned to solve
problems and be successful.
