I would share some classroom language when the teacher wants students to work alone and together. That is useful for all kinds activities in class. Hope you enjoy.
Working alone and together
One learner
“I want you to work on your own.”
..... ‘(Name), come to the front, please”
“Go back to your seat, please.”
Two learners (pairs)
‘I want … (name) to work with … (name).’
‘Get into pairs.’
TEACHER : ‘Has everyone got a partner?’
(Or ‘…..(Name), have you got a partner?’)
LEARNER(S) ‘ Yes’ Or ‘No’
(Or ‘Yes I have’ Or ‘No, I haven’t’)
..... ‘(Name) and ….. (name), come to the front, please.’
‘Go back to your seats, please.’
‘Compare your answers with your partner’s.’
Three or more learners (groups)
‘I want you to work in group of three people.’
‘Get into groups of four / five
‘This is group One.’
‘This is group Two.’
‘I want (name), (name), and (name) to work in group one.’
‘Get into your groups now, please.’
TEACHER ‘Is everyone in a group?
(Or ‘…(Name), are you in a group?’
LEARNER(S) ‘Yes’ Or ‘No’
(Or ‘Yes, I am.’ Or ‘No, I’m not.’)
