Creating an enjoyable classroom session is considered an essential goal of teaching (Dornyei, 2001) as this can help to enhance learning outcome (Hamilton 2010; Klein, Noe & Wang 2006; Oxford & Shearing 1994). This article reflects a case study in which attempts were made to turn the classroom into not only a delightful place for language learning, but also a stage for personal enjoyment and performance for college students. The diversity in the input and outcome was achieved via the use of various materials as warmers and different types of assessment activities. Observation showed that our students truly enjoyed these activities and they manifested improved creativity, confidence and language skills development. Implications and suggestions for other class contexts were also discussed.
