Summary:Frequently, in our English classes, we observe our students working on some tasks and some questions come to our
 minds: Are we using good procedures to teach English?. Are they effective ways to learn English? and in general: What can we do in order to improve English learning?. These reflections belong to a wide field of research. We concentrated on one
