This assignment gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of learner
emotional intelligence. Emotional Intelligence is described as a skill that helps people
understand and manage their emotions and behaviours. It is therefore deemed
important that teachers help their learners understand and control their emotions
because “learning is likely to be more effective if educators help to minimise stress and

learning environment that is motivating to students” (Hinton, Miyamoto & Della-Chiesa,
2008).
Interested to understand emotional intelligence, Lorato decided to explore her Grade 6

negative emotions included, frustration; boredom, annoyance, anger, lack of interest in

helps reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of belonging and
motivation.
Set Clear Goals and Expectations: Clearly communicate the learning
objectives and expectations for each task. This provides students with a
sense of direction and purpose, enabling them to understand the
relevance and value of the tasks. When students have a clear
