Abstract

Abstract Social-emotional learning (SEL) initiatives can have a positive effect on students’ emotions and well-being. However, SEL in ESOL classrooms remains underexplored. This article reports on a qualitative study which investigated ESOL learners’ perceptions of the effectiveness of SEL strategies in terms of their emotions and well-being. The study generated data using daily classroom observations, recorded classroom discussions, surveys, and artefacts. The analysis suggests students experienced positive emotions, such as happiness and feeling good and safe in the classroom as well as increased emotional awareness. The students highlighted the following strategies as being especially effective: restorative circles, letters to self, writing poetry, and classroom decorations. The findings demonstrate the need to embrace SEL practices as essential elements in ELT as they play a vital role in fostering students’ and teachers’ well-being, both within and beyond the classroom.
九年级新生的ESOL社会情绪学习
社会情绪学习(SEL)对学生的情绪和幸福感有积极的影响。然而,在ESOL课堂上的SEL仍然没有得到充分的探索。本文报告了一项定性研究,调查了ESOL学习者在情绪和幸福感方面对SEL策略有效性的看法。该研究使用日常课堂观察、课堂讨论记录、调查和人工制品生成数据。分析表明,学生们在课堂上体验到积极的情绪,比如快乐、感觉良好和安全,以及增强的情绪意识。学生们强调以下策略特别有效:恢复圈,给自己写信,写诗和教室装饰。研究结果表明,有必要将SEL实践作为英语教学的基本要素,因为它们在促进学生和教师的福祉方面发挥着至关重要的作用,无论是在课堂内还是课堂外。
