 nglish language teachers know about non-cognitive skills? \n \nThis pres
 entation will briefly introduce key terms such as grit\, optimism\, and re
 silience from the field of educational psychology and the application of p
 ositive psychology dealing with such non-cognitive skills for English lang
 uage teachers based in Japan. After discussing some of the research in thi
