GCPPLE is an interdisciplinary community of scholars dedicated to research in language education and positive psychology tied to innovation in theory, methods, and teaching/learning practice. It invites researchers, faculty, and teachers to share studies on a range of topics pertaining to achievement, engagement, assessment, motivation, emotions, well-being, and constructs such as optimism, a sense of belonging, and character values.
To continue with the aforementioned efforts for positive psychology in language education, the Conference will address teaching strategies, language pedagogy, the flourishing teacher, student engagement, and achievement, among others, to equip educators with the necessary skills for everyone’s well-being in the classroom environment.
