Students start talking before you finish giving instructions. What can you say?
Not yet. Listen first then you will start. / Wait for the signal. I will tell you when to start. / Pause. Eyes on me. Instructions first speaking after.
The class is noisy after pair work. You need to get their attention calmly. What can you say?
Pause. Look this way. Thank you. / Stop there. Pens down. Eyes on me. / I need everyone’s attention for one minute.
Students are working in groups but the noise level is too high. What can you say?
Lower your voices please. / Use group voices not playground voices. / Continue the task but more quietly. / I need the noise level down so everyone can think.
Students are learning used to. You want them to notice the form. What can you ask?
What comes after used to? / Is the verb after used to in the infinitive or past form? / Do we say used to played or used to play?
Instead of asking Do you understand after task instructions what can you ask?
What do you do first? / What do you do after that? / Tell your partner what you need to do. / How much time do you have? / What should you have at the end?
