I like using variety.
Great! Fantastic! Amazing! Way to go! Wonderful!
But I find my students have really responded to giving them a HIGH FIVE! |

Here �s a few I use, and try to use liberally, to praise and encourage my adult students:
Good work! Good job! Excellent! Great! You did it! Good try! You fixed your mistake yourself! I know it �s hard, but you can do it! You �ve got it!
I know they sound trite and clich�d, but the phrases are easy to understand and really seem to motivate the students. The most important part of praising and encouraging students is the sincerity. Because they don �t know the language, they receive so much of their information not from the words but from the posture, face, hands, and voice. I don �t say "Great work" when the student makes a lot of mistakes. I say "Good try."
Now, if your student really doesn �t even try, that �s the time to give the student a (figurative) kick in the pants.

If you type "praise" in the content box of the "search worksheets" section here in ESL PRINTABLES, you �ll find a number worksheets listing different ways of praising a child. Hope it helps!
