Objectives

INTRODUCTION:
The study of emotions, object of considerable developments in the last few years, is now a highly relevant, wide-ranging field in psychology. At the basis of all communication, including the verbal, there are non-verbal processes, based on emotions and their expression. The school context is, undoubtedly, a privileged area for different communicational exchanges, namely the emotional. On the other hand, non-verbal communication, found in emotional exchanges, forms the developmental basis of all subsequent verbal communication. Therefore, this knowledge is today essential in both teacher training and school intervention processes, as it promotes the students' social and emotional development.

GENERAL AIMS:
• Introduction to Psychology of Emotions and Communication and its relevance in teacher training;
• Identification of the basic concepts within this field of knowledge;
• Analysis of its implications in the teaching process;
