Ausgewählte Themen der Englischdidaktik: A Positive Approach to Language Teaching (ISS/GYM)
Michaela Sambanis
Comments
This seminar introduces Positive Language Pedagogy, an approach rooted in Positive Psychology and strength-based didactics. Participants will engage with key theories and empirical findings. They will explore how concepts like the PERMA model (Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment), growth mindset, and appreciative communication can enhance both learner and teacher well-being. Through interactive activities and reflective practice, the course demonstrates how positive language teaching practices can foster motivation, resilience, and a supportive classroom climate—especially in secondary and upper-secondary (Gymnasium) settings. The seminar combines theoretical input with hands-on experimentation and encourages participants to critically reflect on how to implement these principles in their future language classrooms.
Reading recommendation:
Students are encouraged to read the Happy Learning resource book (Sambanis/Ludwig 2024, Hueber-Verlag) before or during the seminar. The book offers a practical introduction to key concepts of Positive Pedagogy and will be referenced regularly throughout the course. Reading it will support your understanding of the theoretical foundations and provide hands-on ideas for implementing positive practices in the English classroom. close
