SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) IN THE SECONDARY CLASSROOM by David Spencer

PLAYING WITH EMOTIONS, MINDFULLY by Emma Reynolds Emma Reynolds starts this session by going back to basics: what does mindfulness actually mean? In the rest of the session, Emma explores ways of becoming aware of our mental state by reading how our body feels and recognising these feelings. When we can read our body, we can better look after ourselves and use mindfulness techniques to react in new ways in order to create optimal conditions for learning and teaching.

In this session, David Spencer addresses social emotional learning (SEL) and highlights its importance in the teenage classroom. David talks about five core components: creating self-awareness, developing self-management skills, creating social awareness, developing relationship skills and responsible decision-making skills. The session highlights how SEL can be incorporated in the language classroom and offers teachers practical ideas on how these key life skills can be developed with teenagers.
