Student engagement is a significant challenge faced by many teachers. If learners are not paying attention and do not become engaged in their work, then learning simply cannot take place. We hope that teachers find it empowering to learn that engagement can be consciously crafted and generated—there are specific actions that teachers can take to positively impact learner engagement (Mercer & Dornyei, page 157). Therefore, the Boop! Boop! Activity was designed to help. It is a practice activity for small groups that is easy to implement. After students form small groups, the teacher assigns each group a small exercise (such as writing, reading, or asking questions). When the teacher says "Boop! Boop!", the groups pass their exercise to the next group. It can be easily integrated with textbook activities, and students do not need their own textbooks. After applying this Boop! Boop! Activity can find that students are highly enthusiastic about participating and having fun.
