English speaking people? exchange greetings?

Most of my students are not successful talking with English speaking people(#1) outside the classroom. They cannot keep taking turns with foreigners just after they exchange greetings(#2) with them.

Q1) Do you think #1 and #2 sound OK?

Q2) What words do you recommend instead of them?

English-speaking people is fine (and often hyphenated). There's nothing wrong with exchange greetings, either. I think you mean They cannot converse with foreigners...
