Happiness and ELT

Following numerous requests by colleagues (well, ok, 1.5 messages if you must know…) I eventually decided to indulge in this shameless act of self-promotion… 🙂 The aim of this talk was to present some findings from the field of Positive Psychology as well as 4 practical activities that we can use in class to make our students happier. Now I know what you are thinking: ‘No way am I going to watch a talk lasting 45 min!’. Quite. Feel free to ignore it. The important bit is a 2 min section: 8:27 – 10:38. I was completely blown away by this idea the first time I encountered it in Nettle (‘Happiness’ – Oxford 2006, p. 14).
