Mindfulness Practices for English Language Teachers and Students

Mindfulness is a practice that reduces stress, cultivates patience, prevents us from being carried away by emotions, and increases happiness. When used by teachers and students in the classroom, it improves focus, concentration, and cooperation, which helps promote critical thinking and learning. In this workshop, we explore what mindfulness is, the benefits for teachers and students, how to start a mindfulness practice of your own, and discuss ways that it can be brought into the classroom.
