TEACHING WARM- UP IN ENGLISH
A - PROBLEM
Although it needs a lot of time to lead- in new lessons,it is very important
because this is a starting time to the teacher to carry out when coming to the
classroom starting for a lesson.These activities have training purposes such as:
-Stable layer students have time to make the aquaintance of the new lesson

(example :when having changes about time,spaces,place,or class situations to a
new lesson or a new teacher ,when students have a short break ,students go to
class late or chatting with their friends so they have not got ready to concentrate
on their lesson)
-Preparation about psychology ,knowledge for a new lesson.
- To enlarge available students’knowledge .
- Help students to use old knowledge with the new one.
- Bring about happy for the new lesson.
Besides,with nature of the foreign language lesson ,warm-up activities have
importance like as a part of the lesson .It is very difficult or not carry out to the
next steps if the teacher doesn’t teach warm –up .Concretely,these activities
play a role to make situations for presentation of the lesson or make a chance
or a purpose to teaching activity,necessary parts to high communication.
With significance above ,when the teacher intends to do what he or she always
makes a question for what? for what purpose? and whether do that can gain the
purpose or the result or not?
So,warm-up activities are not only for delighted,for colourful but also for
integral part of the lesson.The way to lead-in with a good method decides the
result of all lessons.
From the real situations above I deccide to write my experience:”teaching
warm-up in English”.

I-Reality of study problem
1- Real situation
- Leading-in by the work such as checking old lesson,correcting homework,
mark and check about hard-working students we really realize it makes the
atmosphere boring and not bring advantage environment for studying. It is
also the way to stable layer terribly and from an ineffective warm-up affects

the result of the students lead-in inexactly purpose,requirement of the
lesson’s content.It wastes a lot of time or not bring effect.
- It is very important and significant for students to make situation questions
or pictures and prepare psychology ,knowledge to a new lesson . According
to purpose and content of the lesson ,the teacher can choose suitable
activities and techniques .The teacher can use way to check old lesson
indirectly based on activities and exercises with purpose two but he or she
can point if he or she wants (with students’ answer)
- Checking about hard-working students we can carry out any time ,the best
time is at the end of the lesson .
2- The result,effort of reality above

With the result above I find that the content of my topic is suitable and
necessary for students and the new methods with” students play a central role”
nowadays.
B. Solving problem
I- Solutions
1-To make the advantage environment
- Making active and sure situation for students by activities such as presenting
by herself or himself, greeting students,chatting, telling stores...
- Concentrating on paying attention,stable layer,cheering students up by a study
activity like:
- Listening a short lesson.
- Observing the pictures,asking and answering about the pictures.
- Explaining a quiz.
- Playing a foreign language.
- Doing a vocabulary exercise.
- Changing teaching warm-up.
2-Preparing psychology and knowledge for the new lesson.
- Exploiting general knowledge by asking eliciting or brainstorming.
- Relating with the old lesson problems to the new lesson by different ways
such as:
- Asking a question.
- Assigning exercises about the content of the old lesson related.

- Using one in excited activities and stable layer,old knowledge and content of
the lesson.
- Making circumstance,situation with communication for the next activities of
the lesson.We can use:
- Visual aids (pictures,photos....)

- Real story or man made.
- Short readings.
- Exercies or questions.
- In reality activities and techniques are used to the opening can satisfy different
purposes. The activities are written for purepose two ,for purpose one and on
the contrary.
Therefore,the best way to lead-in we can do with series of teaching we can
carry out at the same time with a lot of different duties which are given for the
opening.
Example:After coming to class the teacher can start by giving the problem or
questions for students to answer and exploit all the students’knowledge
(brainstorming) related to the old and the new lesson .From that the teacher
makes students pay attention,bring about excited for the lesson,stable
layer,check , revise old lessons and help students to prepare their psychology
and necessary knowledge to the new lesson at the same time.
