讲座题目：Socio-emotional competencies for language learning and teaching
讲座摘要
Emotions are at the centre of all human behaviour, and learning and teaching are no exception. The omnipresence of emotions makes it necessary for individuals to develop a set of socio-emotional skills, which encompass the following three key life competencies: a) self-awareness, or identifying and talking about emotions; b) self-regulation, or managing one’s own emotions; and c) empathy and relationship skills. Within psychology, these competencies are broadly categorised under the constructs of emotional intelligence (EI) and social intelligence (SI), two terms which became widely known through Daniel Goleman’s (1995, 2005) bestselling popular science books. Researchers in the fields of psychology and general education have indeed suggested that apart from standard IQ tests, strong socio-emotional skills are also indicators of being intelligent. This workshop will focus on reviewing theories of EI and SI, methods of researching them and their applications to foreign language classrooms.

讲座题目：Understanding language teacher wellbeing
讲座摘要
The world of education is increasingly concerned with issues surrounding the emotional wellbeing of students and teachers (Holmes, 2019; Mann, 2018). However, there is still much that we do not know about how the specific challenges faced by language teachers affect their wellbeing and how teachers can be supported in practice. This talk will provide an understanding of teacher wellbeing and reflect on how teacher education could best address the topic of wellbeing for both pre-service and in-service teachers. Raising awareness of wellbeing does not only help to prevent stress among teachers, but also enables teachers of diverse backgrounds and levels of experience to help other members of the school community to flourish and thrive too.
