ELT and the Science of Happiness: Positive psychology in the classroom
Speaker: Marc Helgesen
Date: Sunday, February 28th, 2010
Time: 12:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: Sendai, Miyagi
Venue: Sendai Shimin Activity Support Center 4F - Seminar Room 5 ( map)
Description:
Bonus Pre-session (12:30 pm-1:45 pm):
Join us to watch and discuss the PBS special, "Happiness 101," featuring Tal Ben-Shahar (formerly of Harvard), which introduces some of the science behind Marc's presentation. Feel free to bring a bento and have lunch as we watch.
Regular meeting (2 pm-5 pm)
Positive, motivated students -- engaged in what they are studying and with each other -- learn more. How do we facilitate that positive attitude in the classroom? This activity-based session looks at ways positive psychology (TIME magazine calls it "the science of happiness") can be combined with clear language learning goals for active, invested learning. This is more than "positive self-talk". It is sharing with our students the concrete behaviors that happy people engage in. We'll look at the set-point of personal affect and the tipping point of positivity.
