15. SOMEdefinitions
• Wilburne & Peterson (2007), the “Before
phase”.They describe it as the first five to ten
minutes that allow the students activate the
prior knowledge needed for the current
lesson. They also think that warm-ups act as
a complement of previously learned, at the
same time that as a fast assessment of
students’ skills to learn new material

18. BENEFITS warm-up
a) Warm-ups introduce students into a routine and
that make them to be more comfortable in the
class.
b) Warm-ups help to set the tone of the lesson.
Such as Kara Page suggests in her article “ESL
warm-up exercises” written on the page eHow
UK, starting a class with the immediate
introduction of students into English without a prior
connecting activity, could be exasperating for them
(Page, 2012).

19. BENEFITS warm-up
c) Warm-ups facilitate students focus on
English, getting their attention and starting them
thinking in the new language.
d) Warm-ups engage students to the lesson
making them to forget what is happening outside
of the classroom.
e) Warm-ups allow are good for teachers to seize
the time to complete administrative tasks.

20. IMPORTANCE warm-up
a) Warm-ups set the tone of the lesson
(encouraging initial activities can raise
the class energy level)
b) Warm-ups get students to begin
thinking and focusing on English (five
to ten minutes of a good conducted
warm-up can improve the receptivity of
students)

21. IMPORTANCE warm-up
c) Warm-ups provide a transition into
the topic (it is a good opportunity to
connect the old with the new)
d) Warm Ups allow the teacher
important opportunities to assess
character and ability (the warm-up can
be a good thermometer to measure the
social environment of the class)

22. RESEARCH
methodology
The path that is called classroom research across
the field called research is a hard way to follow.
Hatch & Farhady (1982, in Holmes, 1986) define
research as “a systematic approach to find
answers to questions” (p. 1). If researching is
systematic, means that should be a consequence
of a procedure, which is, in turn, a series of steps
taken to accomplish an end.

23. Research methodology
• Create a chronogram of activities and plan
of action (schedule for research and writing)
Phase I: Chronogram
of activities
• Select the topic and problem. formulation
of the research question
Phase II: Problem
Identification
• Locate, evaluate, and summarise all
research sources
Phase III: Data
collection
• Analysis of data collected and Write the
drafts of the paper of approach to research
Phase IV: Analysis of
data
• Plan for future action and Write the Final
paper of approach to research
Phase V: Writing
