“If positive psychology teaches us anything, it is that all of us are mixture of strenghts and weaknesses. No one has it all, and no one lacks it all.”
-Christopher Peterson
Positive psychology is a field of study aiming to help individuals thrive and flourish in their lives and communities. It explores positive topics such as hope, well-being, optimism, creativity, happiness, flourishing, resilience, positive emotions, strengths, wisdom, and self-factors.
Acknowledging the importance of positive psychological dimensions of language teaching and learning, our community is committed to improving the quality of language teaching and learning experience.
