Social and Emotional Learning for EFL Teachers

This training is designed for in-service EFL teachers who want to learn about SEL and who are interested in SEL-related teaching strategies, how to plan and implement SEL in the lessons and teaching programs. Consequently, pre-service EFL teachers, headteachers, material developers, school principals, teacher trainers, and policymakers will also benefit from the program. This highly interactive and experience-based training will provide both theoretical and practical knowledge to experience SEL practices and to support inclusive and equitable learning. The participating teachers will gain an understanding of what SEL is by producing SEL implementation plans for their own educational context. The program offers strategies and practices for teachers to manage their own stress and engage in problem-solving more skillfully. Participants will also recognize the importance of social and emotional learning competencies, emotional intelligence and self-efficacy beliefs in teaching.
