Activities for Social-Emotional Learning

Ideas in Action: Activities for Social-Emotional Learning aims to guide language teachers as they integrate social-emotional learning (SEL) into their practice and pedagogy. Making sure that learners feel safe, valued, and respected helps them to feel more comfortable which, in turn, can enhance their willingness to participate and experiment with language, make mistakes and develop a growth mindset. The purpose of this book is to help teachers gain a deeper understanding of what SEL actually entails, why it is so important, and how they can develop both their own and their learners’ social-emotional skills.
