Teaching Practical here and there

What happened yesterday

Student : teacher can you take a boomerang of us? We want to post this in our drama insta. You know how to use right?
Me : oh okay..Sure, I know boomerang.
*after few failed boomerang*
Me : hahaha okay guys. I give up, I have no idea how to use this thing.
Students in unison : hahaha teacher but you are so young meh, funny lah you.

What happened today,

I have two rules in my class,

1. Speak English, and only English.
2. You shall show respect to everyone else in the classroom.

For the first rule, whenever a student speaks in other language I would warn them by saying ' languageeee'. After a while, students are used to me shouting language language language everywhere. After 6 weeks, I realized I dont have to shout language anymore, since other students are helping me to do so.

Case one :

Me : *writing something on the board/ heard a student speaking something in Chinese* Aaronnn ( not his real name )
Other students : languageee

Case two :

Me : *still writing something on the board*
Student : * shouting in Chinese to a friend across the class for something *
Other students : May ( not her real name ) languageeee
Student : oopps sorry teacher
