[Edling] Invitation Online Workshop: Boosting students' positive emotions about language learning

[Pia Resnik via Edling]

Dear colleagues,

You are cordially invited to attend our workshop Boosting students' 
positive emotions about language learning, which will take place online 
on 12th December, 9:45-15:15.

This international workshop will be held online on Saturday 12 December 
2020 and is aimed at teachers and students at both secondary and 
tertiary level. It seeks to contribute to our understanding of the 
crucial role emotions play in the foreign language classroom and to find 
ways in which interest in language learning can be raised. To this end, 
the workshop contributions will focus on positive emotions in language 
learning, the relevance of teacher happiness, students' and teachers' 
views on links between emotions and learning modern languages in the UK 
as well as mentoring as a way to instil positive emotions about language 
learning. Crucially, the workshop will provide a platform to exchange 
experiences, learn from each other and explore possibilities to 
implement research findings in classroom situations, all in dialogue 
with educators, students and researchers.

The workshop is free but there is limited availability. You can find 
more information and book a place here [1].

Attendees will receive a link by email prior to the workshop.
