Navigating for Positive Group Dynamics Through Emotion Regulation: A Multimodal Conversation Analysis on Teacher Discussions in Chinese EFL Curriculum Development

[Professor Kevin W. H. Tai]

Dear Members of the SIG,

I would like to share the following study, authored by Dr. Miaomiao Zuo, that explores emotion regulation strategies during teacher collaborations. This study uses Multimodal Conversation Analysis to provide a detailed understanding of how emotions are regulated through verbal and non-verbal cues to navigate for positive group dynamics during teacher discussions related to Chinese EFL curriculum development. 

Key findings include effectively managing disagreements, transforming complaints into motivational forces, and acknowledging self-progress related to collective contributions to enhance group dynamics and cohesion. The study underscores the importance of moment-by-moment understanding of emotional intelligence and regulation strategies in educational settings, offering practical implications for teacher training programs and collaborative projects.
