"Building Connections for Success in ELT"
In this event, we delve into the integration of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) principles into English Language Teaching (ELT) for young learners and teens, with a focus on the CASEL framework. By intertwining SEL with language instruction, educators can cultivate emotional intelligence, empathy, and interpersonal skills in students. The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework serves as a guiding light, offering a structured approach to SEL implementation.
Through innovative strategies, educators can create a supportive learning environment where students not only develop linguistic proficiency but also grow holistically. SEL in ELT fosters resilience, empathy, and effective communication, equipping students with essential life skills beyond language acquisition.
Participants will engage in practical activities designed to promote SEL competencies within the language learning context. By sharing insights and experiences, educators will leave equipped with a diverse repertoire of effective techniques to enrich their English language classrooms. This session aims to empower educators to elevate their teaching approach, nurturing students who are not only proficient in English but also emotionally resilient and empathetic individuals, capable of thriving in diverse linguistic and cultural landscapes. |
