Details	Teachers have often observed that happy students learn more, work longer at tasks, and approach tasks with more enthusiasm. Research into positive psychology has now revealed what is going on in the minds of happy people. This interactive workshop is for language teachers who want to use activities that work on specific language points (grammar, functions, topics and vocabulary) while having students do things that positive psychologists find are connected to happiness and well-being.
