Abstract	Grouping students at secondary school based on attainment is a prevalent practice in English schools. Despite this, research has suggested that those placed in low attaining groups are disadvantaged by their placement. This study aimed to provide an account of student engagement, teacher interactions and pedagogical approaches employed by English teachers. A mixed method, multiple case study design was used to report on classroom practices and student engagement in three low attaining Year 10 English classes in two secondary schools. Information was gathered using semi-structured interviews with teachers and students and lesson observations. Findings suggest that teachers of these classes promoted engagement by developing positive student--teacher relationships through praise that encouraged learning, minimising negative reprimands and adapting teaching to respond to their students' needs. The authors suggest that strategic use of these practices allows teachers to develop positive relationships with students, providing the foundation for engagement in lessons. (As Provided).
