SUMMARY
! "#$ U%I"
There are many useful classroom expressions the students should know. They are commonly used in the classroom. They are also essentials in the daily life to communicate with others and also necessary to speak properly. To help the students from twelfth level learn this content appropriately is going to be used different resources as online and outline tools, techniques and activities. These activities help the students to be motivated and interested in learning about the studied content. As students learn a second language to be successful in the life, get better opportunities and jobs is very important to answer to the following questions: hat are useful expressions! hy are useful expressions very important in a second language! hen and where can we use useful expressions! "t is very important to acquire as many vocabulary new words as they can about useful expressions. The pronunciation play and important role too because in this way they can pronounce and communicate adequately not only inside but also outside the classroom. Through the application of the activities the students develop the four language skills and the digital competence. The students use the online tool Spi&er Scribe to share knowledge collaboratively about the topic. #inally, they present it to other classmates. The students reflect about their own learning related to value the importance of learning about useful expressions. The teacher checks the final reflections to evaluate the acquired knowledge.
