Abstract: Success through SEL practices

As ESL/EFL teachers, our classrooms provide positive learning environments for students to develop their language use. In addition, we teach many other skills that learners need in order to be successful. Beginning with a brainstorming session and published framework for incorporating Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in the classroom, this workshop includes three activities which can be adapted to learners at different ages and levels. By participating in these activities, teachers will be confident in helping their learners to develop the necessary  social and emotional competencies for success in English – and in life.
