    This document provides a list of useful English phrases for the classroom in 3 categories: before the lesson, beginning the lesson, and ending the lesson. Some example phrases include "Good morning everyone", "Please sit down everyone", "Any questions?", and "That's all for today." Understanding and using these classroom expressions can help students feel more comfortable speaking in English and encourage them to "think in English" rather than translating from their native language. Teachers are encouraged to adopt these phrases and have students practice them as well.

    Classroom English

     
    Many textbooks contain a Classroom English section devoted to useful
    words and phrases that are often used during an English lesson. You can
    find them usually at the beginning or ending of a textbook and they may
    be titled something other than “Classroom English”.  One of the benefits
    of using the classroom English in a textbook is the fact that students have
    access to the textbooks whenever they want and therefore have no
    excuse not to use classroom English.
     
    Please adopt some of these phrases into your everyday speech in the
    classroom and encourage your students to do so as well.  A student
    should not be saying わからない (wakaranai), instead they should be
    comfortably using “I don’t understand.”
     
    The use of classroom English is a good beginning step for encouraging
    students to feel comfortable in a foreign language and for them to begin
    to “think” in that language.  The more times they use the phrases, the
    comfortable they will be.  The goal is to get students to react in English,
    rather than in Japanese. 
     
    Below are a list of good classroom English expressions.  Feel free to use
    these or other that you find.  You do not need to use every expression
    listed.  You can begin with a few expressions and gradually increase the
    number of expressions you use in your class.
