Incorporating social and emotional learning in ESL lessons during wartime / Oksana Chugai // Theory and practice of modern science: collection of scientific papers «SCIENTIA» with Proceedings of the V International Scientific and Theoretical Conference [Krakov], 12 May 2023 / European Scientific Platform. - Krakov, 2023. - P. 125-127.https://ela.kpi.ua/handle/123456789/57595A full-scale war in Ukraine shattered lives of millions, whose workdays in February 2022 started with shelling and breaking news, which was difficult to believe. Yet, after a couple of weeks, the new normal, life during wartime, became reality for those who stayed in the country and those who had to leave. Resuming studying online was possible after conducting surveys, which indicated willingness of students, their parents, teachers and university authorities to resume spring semester despite the difficulties related to wartime and imposition of martial law in Ukraine. However, everyday pressure of not only surviving but studying and teaching during wartime requires searching for new ways of developing resistance and building a supportive educational environment. To conclude, SEL, which aims at developing skills essential for emotions control, goal setting, socializing, decision-making and problems solving, should be incorporated in ESL class during wartime. SEL provides not only a framework for structuring the English course but simple and effective tools which relieve stress, empower students and create a friendly atmosphere which promotes academic success. ESL teachers should adhere to an action plan in order to employ SEL gradually and consistently, creating a supportive educational environment.ensocial and emotional learningESLwartimeArticleP. 125-1270000-0002-2118-8255
