How to Promote Socially and Emotionally Responsible Language Learning and Teaching in European Teacher Education

Abstract

[EN] The "SOELE - Socially and Emotionally Responsible Language Education" collaborative project of two European universities aims to advance language education and teaching. It seeks to integrate thematic and structural innovations by developing a comprehensive framework centered on socially and emotionally responsible language education and by promoting Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) practices. This initiative not only seeks to deepen the understanding and appreciation of the social value of languages among students and educators but also strives to equip future language teachers with the skills necessary for fostering an equitable, socially and emotionally responsible educational environment. By addressing the challenges of social (in)justice in language education within the context of increasing educational internationalization and student mobility, the project contributes to the advancement of social responsibility and well-being in language education.
