Warm-Up Activities: Student engagement in classes

This study investigates the impact of warm-up, lead-in, and ice-breaker activities on student engagement in English language classes at Uzbek schools. Despite the recognized benefits of these activities, their application in classroom settings remains inconsistent, highlighting a knowledge gap in practical implementation. Utilizing a qualitative research design, data were collected through interviews, polls, and questionnaires from B1 and B2 level students and middle-school teachers. The findings reveal that these activities significantly enhance student engagement and participation.
