Positive Language Education

This innovative book integrates theory and practice in the teaching of contemporary life skills alongside and as part of language teaching that looks at the 'whole student'. Introducing their Positive Language Education framework, the authors expertly outline the theoretical background for integrating linguistic objectives with a wide range of holistic 21st century competencies including emotional regulation, well-being, ecoliteracy, and global citizenship. They then offer a unique, practical array of concrete suggestions and hands-on, research-based activities to help language educators develop their repertoire as Positive Language Educators, including how to conduct their own research on this subject. This reader-friendly resource gives pre- and in-service FL/L2 teachers the tools and confidence to understand and implement these principles in the classroom and beyond. Advanced students and researchers of applied linguistics, education, and psychology, as well as curriculum developers, teacher trainers, and aspiring teachers around the world - and their students - will benefit from this unique book.
