Abstract

Perhaps, every teacher would like to see their students thrive academically and succeed in their future careers. However, some learners face challenges which are not related neither to their individual characteristics, nor to aptitude, but to stressful and traumatic experiences in their lives, which represent huge barriers on the way to success. Therefore, the question addressed in this project was how can English as foreign language teachers in Russia mitigate the impact of stress and trauma on primary school learners to facilitate learning in the language classroom? Extensive literature review concludes that the effects of stress and trauma at a young age may become an irreparable damage extending to adulthood. Fortunately, teachers may help alleviate the consequences of trauma or sometimes even eliminate them by applying stress and trauma mitigation strategies in their classrooms, which are presented in this project.
