Michaela Sambanis
Kommentar
This seminar introduces Positive Language Pedagogy, a strength-based approach to language teaching inspired by Positive Psychology and child-centered didactics. Participants will explore how concepts such as the PERMA model (Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment), growth mindset, and appreciative classroom interaction can support young learners’ emotional well-being, motivation, and language development. The course focuses on playful, age-appropriate activities and routines that help create a warm, encouraging learning environment in the primary English classroom. In addition to supporting pupils, the seminar also highlights the importance of teacher well-being as a foundation for sustainable and joyful teaching. Through a mix of theory, hands-on practice, and reflection, students will develop ideas for implementing positive language education in everyday classroom life.
