Hi 🙋♀️ It's not a secret that we, teachers, face to some problems with classroom management.
Today I want to share some useful phrases that make you sound native and draw Ss attention.
⏬Here are some modern native phrases in the classroom. Simple but effective. 💪🏻😎
✅ FANCY SOME... (ANYONE)?
= A nice informal way to say 'Would anyone like?' And you can use this in any context. You can say, 'We've done loads and loads of work today. Fancy a game, anyone?' or 'Oh Artem says the last homework wasn't enough. Fancy some more then, anyone? No? Everyone is so silent all of a sudden.😊
✅ OK, LET'S GET DOWN TO SOME WORK
= This phrase is used, depending on your tone (friendly or serious) to mean: It's time to do some work now, not play around or be relaxed. It's similar to the phrase: Let's get down to business (let's be serious now and talk business).
✅ DO YOU MIND?
= If a student misbehaves, calls out, is a little to loud etc. you let your student know that you're not happy and want them to stop by saying rather firmly, 'Do you mind? (...not picking your nose/talking over me/playing around etc.)
✅ I'LL BE A TICK / JUST A TICK
= When you need to leave the classroom, maybe, to fetch some materials, you can say, 'Guys, Karina needs a pen. I'll be a tick.' Yes, it means: I'll be just a moment but is so much more native. Just a tick also means one moment. Vova asks where the answers are to some task. So you reply, 'Just a tick. I'll try and find them.' So you look through the book quickly.
✅PLAYTIME'S OVER
= Instead of saying, 'Stopplaying around because we need to do some work!' Instead say, 'Ok guys, yeah I know, playtime's over. Books and pens out.' 🎮
✅ EARS ON THE READY
= This phrase is used before you do a listening task. It means the students now have to be extra attentive. 'The recoding is about to start. Ears on the ready. Number 1...'
