Episode 79 - The Power of Affirmations for English Learners and All Students

The new school year is here. And as I'm looking ahead, I reflect about what worked and hasn't worked before and how I can encourage and empower my students even more this year. I work with teenagers, and there are a lot of nuances in their English learning, including one very important aspect: negative self-talk. It is sad to hear when a bright student says they're not good enough or that their English is bad and they won't participate in a conversation. I recorded this episode around this time last year, but it is just as relevant now as it was 12 months ago. In this episode, I will share with you a simple formula for activating a more productive way of thinking as well as 10 positive affirmations that you can use in your classroom. I hope you'll find this useful, and I would love to hear what your thoughts are on them.What you will hear about in this episode:The importance of addressing negative self-talk among English learners and students.The use of affirmations as a tool for promoting a positive mindset.Tips and strategies for implementing affirmations in the classroom.The connection between affirmations and the growth mindset concept.Show Notes:Episode 79 - The Power of Affirmations for English Learners and All StudentsResources Mentioned:The ESL Teaching Roadmap – back to school sale 20% off monthly planSimply Ieva ESL Teachers Pay Teachers Store1:1 ESL Teacher Coaching Session Essential Lesson Plan BundleConnect with Ieva:Instagram - @simplyievaeslWebsite - www.simplyieva.com/Join the  - Simply Ieva Facebook Group Support the show
