Narrative:
It was a training flight with a student. We finished run-up and taxied to the hold short line of runway 14 on [taxiway] B1. Runway 32 was in use so we scanned for potential traffic. The only traffic was aircraft Y midfield downwind. I instructed the student to cross from [taxiway] B1 to A1 on the departure end of runway 32; on the ground. The student made the radio call and we began to cross. Suddenly we heard radio calls coming from aircraft Y who was suddenly on final at about 600 ft. AGL. We were surprised because this plane had not been making radio calls except to announce he was on downwind. The student froze with confusion. At this point we were already on the runway so instructed the student to hurry and finish crossing the runway to get out of the way of aircraft Y. Aircraft Y was then at 400 ft. AGL and continued to yell at us. Aircraft Y went around and everything was fine.I think this could've been avoided if aircraft Y had made better/ more frequent radios call; if he had flown a normal traffic pattern; or if he had announced he was making a short approach. We would not have entered the runway if we knew a plane was on base or final.
