Phrases for the teacher in English lessons

They help to structure the speech, guide the course of the lesson, demonstrate the knowledge of the teacher, discipline students and help a lot to avoid uncomfortable pauses.
Learning a few dozen different expressions will be useful for those who are worried in the classroom and are forced to multitask.

Let's look at the most common and most relevant cliche options for educators.
Expressions to start the lesson
At the beginning of the lesson, it is important to set the children up in a friendly way and productive work, so it is worth starting with a polite greeting:
Standard greetings
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Good morning kids! | Good morning, guys! |
Good afternoon class! | Good afternoon class! |
Hello boys and girls. | Hello boys and girls. |
Welcome, everyone! | Welcome everyone! |
Welcome to all of you. | Welcome to all of you. |
hello everyone. | Hi all. |
How are you? | How are you? |
How are you getting on? | How are you doing? |
How is your life? | What's up? |
How are we doing this morning? | How are we doing this morning? |
How are things with you? | How are you doing? |
How is everyone feeling today? | How do you feel today? |
How is it going? | How are you? |
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. | Hope you had an enjoyable weekend. |
I hope you are all feeling nice. | I hope you all feel well. |
What a lovely day! | What a wonderful day! |
What a rainy day! | What a rainy day! |
I hope you had a good day so far. | I hope you have a good day today. |
Okay, let's begin. | Well then, let's get started. |
Alright, let's get started. | Okay, let's get started. |
To improve the mood of children, you can use original phrases, for example, refer to them as “ladies and gentlemen”. If your students are in their teens, you can come up with a more modern appeal, such as: What's new, guys? Howdy folks! Hey there, bro.
Personalized greetings
If you know that something unpleasant happened the day before or a student felt unwell, you can ask him personally if everything is in order.
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Are you feeling better today, Ann? | Are you better today, Anya? |
How are you today, Oleg? | How are you, Oleg? |
How are things with you, Olga? | How are you, Olga? |
And what about you, Vlad? How are you today? | And you, Vlad? How are you today? |
Good morning Julie. How are you feeling today? | Good morning Julia. How are you feeling today? |
It is very important to maintain contact with each child in turn, especially if your working method is communicative.
Introducing the teacher to the class
The first lesson is almost always stressful, but if you have a few set phrases for this situation, everything will go much easier. If you came to the class for the first time, you can use the following expressions as greeting words:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Hello boys and girls. My name is _____. I am your new English teacher. | Hello boys and girls. My name is _____. I am your new English teacher. |
Good morning kids. I will be teaching you English this year. | Good morning children. This year I will teach you English. |
hello everyone. I have got three lessons with you each week. | Hi all. Every week I will have three lessons with you. |
Let me introduce myself. My name is… I am your new English teacher. Now I would like you to give me your names. Introduce yourself, please. | I want to introduce myself. My name is... I'm your new English teacher. Now I would like you to tell me your names. Please introduce yourself. |
A good tone will be the attentive attitude of the teacher to each responding student. You can ask additional or clarifying questions:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
How do you prefer me to call you Alexander or Sasha? | What do you prefer that I call you Alexander or Sasha? |
How to correctly pronounce your name? | How to pronounce your last name correctly? |
Can I call you Ekaterina? I do not want to confuse you with Katya Moroz. | May I call you Catherine? I don't want to confuse you with Katya Moroz. |
The more polite and respectful your behavior is, the more loyal and friendly the students will behave, so take your precious time and try to come up with a few kind words for everyone.
New student introduction
Often there is a situation when the teacher must introduce the class to the newcomer. Often it depends on how the guys will perceive a new classmate. There is a lexicon for this:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Hi, my name is Anna Valerievna, I am your English teacher, what is your name? Where did you study before? | Hello, my name is Anna Valerievna, I am an English teacher, what is your name? Where did you study before? |
Tell us a little about yourself. Please do not worry about mistakes. We would be interested to know what your hobby is, what school subject do you like more than others? | Tell us a little about yourself. Please don't worry about mistakes. We would be interested to know what is your hobby, what school subject do you like more than others? |
What are you interested in? What was your English mark in your ex-school? What kind of activity do you like in class? | what are you interested in? What was your grade in English? What do you like to do in class? |
What do you prefer to do during break? Are you a humanitarian or do you like exact sciences? What other language do you know besides English? | What do you like to do during your break? Are you a humanist or do you like the exact sciences? What other language do you know besides English? |
If you see that it is difficult for a child to answer the questions posed, switch to Russian. The most important thing is to help him adapt and feel at ease.
Presentation of guests
Sometimes representatives of the administration or other guests come to the lesson, and the teacher is forced to interrupt the lesson and introduce them to the children.
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Guys, let's say hello to our guests. | Guys, let's say hello to our guests. |
Let's take a break and welcome our guests. | Let's take a break and greet our guests. |
Put your notebooks aside, let's pause and say good afternoon to the director Olga Ivanovna. | Put your notebooks aside, let's pause and say good afternoon to director Olga Ivanovna. |
After the visitors leave, you can return to work with the phrase "Well, let's continue to learn our beloved English".
Checking the guys present
After the introduction and / or greeting, a list of absentees should be compiled. We use these expressions:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Let me see if everyone is here. | Let's see if everyone is here. |
I will just check who is here. | Now I will check who is present here. |
I will have to check attendance. | I need to check attendance. |
I am going to call your names - please raise your hand when I call your name. | I will call your names - please raise your hand when I call your name. |
Who is missing today? | Who is absent today? |
Who is not with us today? | Who is not with us today? |
Who is not in the class? | Who is not in class? |
Who is away today? | Who is absent today? |
Are you all here today? | Are you all here today? |
Is the whole class here today? | Is the whole class here today? |
Any absences? | Are there any missing? |
Did I miss anybody out? | Have I missed anyone? |
So, everybody is here except Lana and Gleb. | So, everyone is here except Lana and Gleb. |
If the class is not very large, then you can ask about each child who did not come. It is a very common practice in American schools for students to assign homework to those who missed a lesson. You can also use this type of communication and appoint responsible people who live nearby and can pass on all important information to sick children.
In English | In your language |
---|---|
What is the matter with Ivan today? | What's up with Ivan today? |
What is wrong with Liza today? | What happened to Lisa today? |
Why were you absent last time, Masha? | Masha, why weren't you last time? |
Has anybody seen Olga today? | Has anyone seen Olga today? |
Does anybody know where Denis is? | Does anyone know where Denis is? |
Anna's away. Does anyone know why? | Anna is absent. Does anyone know why? |
Is Boris absent or just late? | Is Boris absent or just late? |
When will Jenia be back? | When will Zhenya return? |
Who wasn't here last time? Why? | Who wasn't there last time? Why? |
Who missed last Tuesday's lesson? | Who missed class on Tuesday? |
Why weren't you here last time? | Why weren't you here last time? |
Daniel, have you been ill? | Daniel, are you sick? |
Who is her/his friend? | Who is her/his friend? |
Do you know when she/he will be back at school? | Do you know when she/he will return to school? |
Could you take her/his homework? | Could you take her/his homework? |
What is the matter with Ivan today? | What's up with Ivan today? |
If everything is in place, the following phrases will come in handy:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Great! Everybody's here. | Excellent! All here. |
Nice to see you all here. | Glad to see you all here. |
That is cool! Nobody is away today. | This is great! Everything is in place today. |
Even such a banal thing as checking those present can turn into a fascinating exercise if everyone whose name is called will stand up and say three words starting with the first letter of their name. Thus, you will check and arrange a little warm-up for the brain.
Smooth transition to work
After checking, some find it difficult to move directly to operational activities. Here are some hints for this:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Lesia is away. Does anyone know why? She may have missed the metro pass. What do you think about it? Maybe she went to visit her grandmother? | Leslie is missing. Does anyone know why? She may have lost her subway pass. What do you think about this? Maybe she went to visit her grandmother? This is a good option to unobtrusively talk to children. Talk about possible reasons for the absence, ask who is friends with those who did not show up, if he can pass homework and visit the person |
Oleg, you missed two lessons. I hope you have recovered from your cold. Could someone explain to Oleg what we have been working on? I hope you can catch up. | Oleg, you missed two lessons. I hope you've recovered from your cold. Can someone explain to Oleg what we are working on? I hope you can catch up. Another way to start the lesson is to have a dialogue with someone who has returned from illness or absence. You can ask about how you feel and ask the guys to briefly tell what the student missed. |
Are you feeling better, Igor? Ask your friends to tell you what we have been doing. | Are you better, Igor? Ask your friends to tell you what we do. By addressing each one individually, you show interest and gently encourage the class to start a discussion. |
After the discussion, you can say: We are beginning our lesson. If you want to take a break after a heated discussion, you can offer to do a little warm-up and move around: Let's have a sport break.
Start of work
After the roll call, the teacher can go directly to the activity:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Let's begin our lesson right now. | Let's start our lesson. |
So, we can start today's lesson. | So we can start today's lesson. |
Is everybody ready to get new knowledge? | Is everyone ready for new knowledge? |
I hope you are all ready for our cool and interesting English lesson. | I hope you are all ready for our cool and interesting English lesson. |
I think we can start right now. | I think we can start. |
Now we can start work hard. | Now we can get to work. |
It is time to begin, please stop talking. | It's time to start, please stop talking. |
I am waiting for you to be quiet. | I'm waiting for you to shut up. |
We will not start until everyone is quiet. | We won't start until everyone calms down. |
The topic of our lesson today is… | The theme of our lesson today is... |
To begin with, we must. | Need to start. |
Where did we leave off last time? | Where did we stay last time? |
All right, guys, let's get down to work. | Okay guys, let's get to work. |
Today we will be talking about… | Today we will talk about… |
The class needs time to adjust to the working mood, so these introductory expressions should not be avoided. You can tell what topic you want to consider today, why you chose it and describe how you prepared for the lesson. This will allow students to mentally prepare for hard work.
Words for checking homework
If you want to start the lesson by checking homework, then use the following vocabulary:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
What did I give you for homework last time? | What did I give as homework last time? |

If your feedback on the work done at home was negative, then you must immediately explain to the whole team what exactly you did not like and try to give a clear and detailed example of what you expected to see. Be sure to give your child a chance to correct their homework and show you the updated version. In a situation where the material given at home has not been worked out, do not rush to put a bad mark, but give the person a chance to speak out in his defense.
Approval or comments
During any activity, encourage with kind words or make corrections if the student is inattentive or distracting others. It is also allowed to calm the child if he is very worried. If a person makes a mistake, give him the opportunity to correct himself and start again.

Admiration for work
Young children are generally not graded, but encouragement is just as important to them as it is to students. Therefore, it is worth writing pleasant praises in English in their notebooks or diaries:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Magnificent! | Fabulous! |
Right! | Right! |
That is fine. | This is fine. |
So good. | Excellent. |
That's very good. | Very well. |

Phenomenal! | Phenomenal! |
exceptional performance. | Exceptional work! |
You made my day. | You made my day. |
That is just what I was looking for. | This is exactly what I was looking for. |
Do not skimp on praise even if your audience is high school students. Kind words increase self-esteem and make you want to try even harder. If it is not customary to put marks in the school policy, you can replace them with sad and funny emoticon stickers, and evaluate the guys orally.

Criticism and reaction to incorrect answers
You can also criticize constructively, especially if you say something encouraging after the remark. For example: Let's try one more time. For a negative assessment, use the following set of words:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Not really. | Not really. |
Unfortunately not. | Unfortunately no. |
I am afraid that is not exactly right. | I'm afraid that's not entirely true. |
You cannot use that word in such a way. | You cannot use the word in this way. |
Good try, but your answer is wrong. | Nice try, but your answer is wrong. |
Please try again. | Please try again. |
Not exactly. | Not really. |
You were almost right. | You were almost right. |
You've almost got it. | Almost done! |
You are on the right way. | You are on the right track. |
You use this tense incorrectly. | You are using this tense incorrectly. |
You need more practice with these words. | You need to practice more with these words. |
You will have to spend some time practicing this. | You will have to spend some time to practice this. |
But if you know that the child is sensitive to criticism, then it is better to use slightly different expressions:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
There is no need to cry. | You shouldn't cry. |
Not bad! | Not bad! |
Have one more try. | Try again. |
Don't worry about your pronunciation. | Don't worry about pronunciation. |
Don't worry about your spelling. | Don't worry about your spelling. |
Don't worry, it will improve. | Don't worry, you can improve it. |
Do you want a hint? | Want a hint? |
You have good pronunciation. | You have good pronunciation. |
You are communicating well in English. | You communicate well in English. |

You are getting better at it all the time. | Every time it gets better and better. |
You have made a lot of progress. | You have made great progress. |
I guess you can do it much better. | I think you can do much better. |
In the profession of a teacher, an important success factor is precisely the construction of communication with the audience. This means that, first of all, it is necessary not to memorize the rules and grammatical constructions, but to skillfully instill an interest in English. In some situations, you need to be able to find something to praise for, even if the person answered very badly. A polite and open approach will be an additional motivation to try harder and close knowledge gaps.
Organizational moments and discipline
Often teachers have problems with vocabulary that is not related to teaching English, for example, asking them to wipe the inscription off the board. If you want to ask for something, you can contact using the following expressions:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Rub off this part of the blackboard. Wipe off the table with a clean cloth. | Erase this part of the board. Wipe the table with a clean cloth. |
Wash the duster. | Wash the rag. |
Raise the chairs before you go. | Pull up your chairs before you leave. |
Collect the exercise books, please. | Gather your notebooks, please. |
Put the chalk on the blackboard. | Put the chalk on the board. |
Would you mind switching the lights on? | Could you turn on the light? |
In order to maintain the necessary level of discipline, it is important to know polite, but at the same time intelligible words that can be supplemented with the word please for greater effect:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Can we have a little less noise? | Maybe a little less noise? |
Will you go and sit down in your place, Dima? | Go and sit in your seat, Dima. |
You are not supposed to be sitting there. | You don't have to sit there. |
No more talking and laughing. | No more talking and laughing. |
Is everybody ready to work? | Is everyone ready to go? |
Pay attention to my speech. | Listen to me carefully. |

Don't look outside. | Don't look around. |

Don't roll a pen. | Do not twist the handle. |
Clean up after yourself. | Clean up after yourself. |
Pay attention, everyone. | Note. |
Calm down now. That is better. | Now calm down! That's better. |

Put your phones away. | Put away your phones. |
Could I have your attention, class? | May I draw your attention, class? |
Silence, please. | Silence please. |
Don't keep turning around. | Don't turn around/turn around. |
It should also be remembered that in some classrooms it works much better when the teacher does not shout and does not ask to calm down, but specifically speaks quietly and strictly.

The main thing is that you, in turn, are not afraid to make a mistake in pronunciation or word order. By your own example, you can show that 100% literacy and correctness are not always important - it is important not to be afraid to speak a foreign language and even more important that others understand you.
Translation and new words
When learning new words, pay attention to this list:
In English | In your language |
---|---|
Do you understand the meaning of these words? | Do you understand the meaning of these words? |

Even for reading, there are a few important phrases that can also help a teacher a lot:

---|---|
Can you read this/that? | Can you read this/that? |
