Feelearning : integrating emotional intelligence and EFL skills through situated activities.

Abstract

This document presents an action research project that aimed to implement situated learning activities in order to develop emotional intelligence and EFL skills in an EFL classroom. The participants of this study were third grade students between 7 and 9 years old from the Institución Educativa Distrital Gonzalo Arango located in Bogotá, Colombia. Field notes, questionnaires, interviews, audio recordings and artifacts were collected during the interventions, following the design of three cycles of intervention, where different situated learning activities were used. By employing the triangulation method, it was possible to analyze the findings and present the conclusions, implications, limitations and further research of this project.
