Abstract
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) receives great attention in education because of migration, epidemics, war, refugees, cyberbullying, and many others. Although not a new concept, its importance has been well recognized recently and promoted globally at all levels of education. Teachers of all disciplinary areas can integrate SEL into their teaching to create a supportive learning environment and help students achieve better learning results. This presentation shares how SEL has integrated into university English classes in an English-as-a-foreign-language context in Taiwan. The integration strategies are divided into three categories: (1) classroom management, (2) community building, and (3) curriculum integration. I will provide activity examples and talk about them. The presentation will help language teachers to learn some practical strategies to make their classrooms a more socially and emotionally supportive place for students to learn not just the language but also develop social and emotional competencies.
