TEENtelligence:
Integrating Social and Emotional Learning in the Teenage Classroom

As teenagers experience significant cognitive and social maturation, teaching practice and classroom activities need to address this moment. In this context, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) adds valuable insights to lesson planning and activity design. This mini-course explores SEL competencies such as social awareness and responsible decision-making and suggests practical ideas on how to support social-emotional development in teenage groups, aiming to create an environment conducive to learning.

Day 1
We will discuss what SEL actually is, the skills it involves and why it is so relevant when teaching teenagers. We will also explore relationship skills and social awareness in more details.

Assessment - from theory to practice

This course will explore the theoretical foundations of assessment, including its purpose, types, and key principles. We will examine assessment practices for learners of different ages, analysing the importance of both formal and informal assessment methods. Participants will gain hands-on experience in developing assessment criteria and rubrics and learn how to implement alternative assessment strategies to promote authentic language use. By the end of the course, teachers will be able to select and apply appropriate assessment tools and techniques to measure student progress and inform instruction.


Day 1
We will discuss what assessment is and its role in language teaching. We’ll see types of assessment and its principles. Then, we’ll consider characteristics of different age ranges that should be considered when we assess students.
