Fostering Resilience in Foreign Language Classrooms

Introduction. In broad terms, resilience is connected with the phenomenon of preserving or even improving the state of mental health despite or due to facing adversities by an individual [3]. The study of resilience is especially relevant in Ukraine, considering the many hardships that the war entails: forced displacement, captivity, injuries, threats, loss of close people and separation, constant threat to one's health and life, rise of poverty, exposure to violence, becoming a refugee and uncertain future [12]. Ukrainian education generally and foreign language classes specifically have to instil in students those personal traits which will ensure successful overcoming of the mentioned misfortunes, which presupposes minimal damage to students' mental health.
