THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM-UP ACTIVITIES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Keywords:
warm-up activities, language development, enhanced engagementAbstract
In the world of language learning, the first few minutes of class frequently determine how the entire session will go. An effective beginning can increase focus, ignite student interest, and foster a supportive learning environment. This is where warm-up activities come in—a little yet crucial component of the educational process that is frequently disregarded. In order to optimize student performance and engagement, warm-up exercises are crucial for teaching English as a second language (ESL) or any other language.
