Can I use "Fighting, Class 2!" as a slogan to cheer my students up and ask them to work hard? Or "Come on"? But it sounds colloquial, right? Not so formal in written English?

We don't use "fighting" in English to encourage people. If you said that, I'd think you were reporting a brawl. "Come on!" or "Let's go!" or You can do it!" are all fine for encouragement.

I'm afraid that that is more of a cultural question than a language question. 'Fighting' would probably be too aggressive in a western culture. 'Come on' is possibly a little colloquial, but I thought that you were asking about a slogan. Slogans are not necessarily formal (in western culture at least). Maybe you could ask the class to find a suitable slogan? They might find something from popular culture that resonates with them? From a popular movie or TV program perhaps?

"Fighting, Class 2" sounds weird. A note about "come on", I see a lot of non-natives use this from all over the place, and from all different types of language, and I've yet to see it used correctly. "Come on" as a cheer, has to be like, a shout, really loud and emphatic, and thus is only really appropriate if... I don't know, you're watching a sports game and yelling at the t.v., or ... maybe you're in the gym shouting and encouraging your workout partner. When a person uses "come on" in any other way, especially in writing, it sounds VERY sarcastic, and often seems to express annoyance, which it almost never what non-natives indeed to use it for. So, yes, you could use "come on," but you have to like, shout it, with a fist raised in the air, or else it doesn't come off right.
