Useful phrases for your English classroom

It goes without saying that communicating with your classmates and the teacher should be in English, and you should try to avoid speaking your mother tongue as much as you can. But this is not so easy unless you learn useful phrases for this purpose – classroom English.

General Expressions for the classroom

Expressions for Pairwork and Groupwork

To Teachers

English teachers – especially non-native teachers – also need to learn useful expressions for their classes. IELTS Juice recommends “A Handbook of Classroom English” by Glyn S Hughes. You can even download the PDF version of the book. The book is rather old though and if you would like to buy the latest issue, you can find more information about “Practical Classroom English” in our useful books section.
