The Impact of Warm-up Activities for a More Classroom EngagementWhat Effects they Reflect on the Educational Environment?

Abstract

Students do best when they are engaged consciously in the learning process and class environment. This engagement refers to the ultimate desire and willingness of all class-members to participate in the material discussed; regularly attend classes and work on and submit their tasks on time. Warm -up activities are as important as teaching. In order to get a good idea about the importance and necessity of warm-up activities in classrooms, the researchers have distributed a questionnaire to (20) male and female lecturers of English at the Preparatory Studies Center (PSC)- University of Technology and Applied Sciences – Sultanate of Oman -Ibri. The findings were amazing: almost all responses show that warm-up activities before starting classes are of much benefit. Recommendations, discussion, and description will be discussed deeply throughout this paper.
