Abstract: Social Emotional Learning helps learners improve their academic performance, improve their social and emotional skills,
improve their attitude towards themselves and others, demonstrate positive social behavior, reduce behavioral problems and emotional
distress, and make ethical and safe choices. For social pre-service teachers, on the one hand, it helps them create a warm, supportive
and productive learning environment in the future, and promotes the overall healthy development of students; on the other hand, it
helps pre-service teachers establish active career commitments and beliefs, and reduce teacher turnover. Three strategies are
recommended: emotional intelligence training, mindfulness practice, and the integration of SEL into teacher education curriculum and
teacher qualification certification program to cultivate the social emotional ability of pre-service teachers.

Key words: pre-service teacher, social emotional learning, teacher education
