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.
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.

My opinion
I think language that use in classroom has very important. It
should be English language to use in classroom. Students can practice four
skills to use in daily life. Teacher shouldn’t use difficult word because
students probably don’t understand in lesson. English teaching is a good way
because students learn English by observing from teacher’s speaking. They heard
that listen from teacher then, improve communication by themselves. If students
practice to English speaking by themselves, they have learnt without teacher’
teaching. It directed with course in nowadays that is specific students.
