Designing sel activities for teaching analytical reading: focus on self-awareness

Abstract

Incorporating Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) into educational frameworks has gained significant attention in Ukraine for its role in holistic development of pre-service English language (EL) teachers and fostering their resilience. All Ukrainian educators need to change and adapt themselves to the present wartime conditions. The abstract explores the integration of SEL activities specifically designed to enhance analytical reading skills, with a particular emphasis on fostering self-awareness. By combining these two educational priorities, we aim to create a synergistic approach that not only improves reading comprehension and critical thinking but also nurtures students' ability to understand and regulate their emotions.
