Giving children practical responsibilities - “I want Aziz to give out these worksheets and Hamid… please write the date on the board.”, Getting children's attention by stirring the class - “Everyone stand up and come to the front of the class. Come here and make a circle. Are you ready? Let’s sing… Head, shoulders knees and toes…”, Checking understanding - “Can I have a volunteer to repeat the instructions for this activity… first you colour the puppet, then… OK, Marina, can you continue?”, Keeping children's attention - “Everyone, look at me please. Now, watch very carefully, watch, watch me mouth and see how I say the words in English.”, Using correction strategies - The teacher matches her fingers to the words of a sentence to show where the mistake is and focus learners’ attention., Helping children feel safe by organising the classroom - “Ok, everyone, let’s keep the classroom tidy. Please hang your coats on the hooks and put your bags under your table like this…”, Managing individual work by challenging fast finishers - “Have you finished Adriana?... Good girl, now can you help Maria to finish her work, please?”, Establishing classroom routines such as signalling change - “OK, 10 seconds to finish off and put pens away, 9, 8, 7, let’s see who has finished… good Pau and Xavi, 6, 5, 4, books and pencil cases tidy please, 3, 2 and ….1. Well done everyone!”, Managing the whole class such as settling the children after an activity - Let’s sit down on the floor in a circle. Don’t touch anyone else, just cross your legs and relax…and…rest. That’s very quiet… well done.”, Correction strategies e.g. correcting written work - Use 😊 to show good written work and write clear correction for target language.,
