What is Emotional Intelligence? • “It is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships.” Steve Darn Bodrum April 2010
Daniel Goleman Emotional Intelligence, Bantam Books 1995 Steve Darn Bodrum April 2010
Why is it important? • “Learning doesn’t take place in isolation from kids’ feelings. Being emotionally literate is as important for learning as instruction in math and reading.” Karen Stone McCown • “Stress makes people stupid, i.e when emotionally upset, people cannot remember, attend, learn, or make decisions clearly.” Daniel Goleman Steve Darn Bodrum April 2010
Is it a problem ? • Changes in society are affecting EQ development. EQ is initially developed in childhood and youth, and research suggests that successive generations are becoming less emotionally aware. Factors contributing to this may include changes in family structure, a reduced family role in education, mobility and the influence of technology. Whatever the reasons, the teaching and development of Emotional Intelligence is becoming important across the curriculum, from elementary to university level. Steve Darn Bodrum April 2010
The future student Steve Darn Bodrum April 2010
“.. in the days of rote-learning and teacher-dominated classrooms the relationship between teacher and group was paramount and the question of interrelationships within the group was not vital, in present-day EFL classrooms, where pairwork and groupwork have become the norm, relationships within the group become more important: it is fundamental to the success of these activities to have support and co-operation from the group and a harmonious relationship between its members. Where students act as a pool of resources for each other, refusal to co-operate means that a vital element of the learning process is missing. A group whose members are not on speaking terms will not learn much in a student-centred classroom!” Steve Darn Bodrum April 2010
