How do English native speakers call their teachers or lectures in the class?

No, I haven't told them. I always wondered what they should call me in an English class. In Iran they never use first names to address a teacher or a lecturer. In schools, they usually say 'teacher' and I thought it's not a proper way to address their English teacher. Now I found that Ms, Mrs and Mr are the most common ways to address teachers. I also doubt about 'master' that the university students use to address their lecturers.
