Resumen:

Previous research has certified the interconnection of psycho-affective factors and English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ emotions and practices. However, there is insufficient evidence regarding the correlates and determinants of teacher work engagement across cultures. To fill this gap, the present multinational study aimed to investigate the correlations and predicting roles of EFL teachers’ dispositions toward loving pedagogy (DTLP), self-efficacy, emotion regulation, and work engagement. A total of 779 EFL teachers were selected from China, Iran, and Turkey to complete the surveys. The results of confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis showed significant relationships among teachers’ DTLP, self-efficacy, emotion regulation, and work engagement. Moreover, multiple regression analysis suggested that teacher...

Resumen:

Considering the demanding and stressful nature of the teaching profession in general and foreign language teaching in particular, teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL) are prone to experience burnout, which may result in adverse consequences for not only teachers but also their students. Therefore, it is important to understand what factors can prevent EFL teachers from burnout. The present study investigated the roles of three individual difference factors, namely, growth teaching mindset, teaching grit, and emotion regulation in EFL teachers’ burnout. The data were collected from 218 EFL teachers through convenience sampling. The results of regression analysis and relative weight analysis indicated that growth teaching mindset and teaching grit negatively predicted burnout. In addition, while reappraisal emotion regulation...

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language education is transforming pedagogical practices. This transformation is influenced by two distinct yet interconnected domains: the cognitive domain, encompassing AI literacy, and the affective domain, involving AI-induced emotions. However, the dynamic interplay between cognition and emotion in this context is a critical yet underexplored area of research. This study presents a systematic review, compliant with PRISMA guidelines, synthesizing findings from the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases. The review delineates the specific characteristics of AI literacy and catalogues the range of emotions arising from AI use. To...

Over the past two decades, ‘inclusivity’ has become a key issue in research in applied linguistics and language education. However, the inclusion of teachers, teacher educators, and learners as researchers with key insights into their contexts has not yet been fully examined. This thought-piece explores developments in inclusive practitioner research, specifically focusing on exploratory practice (EP). The article probes the notion of inclusivity, asking why inclusivity matters and what does it mean for practitioner researchers. It sheds new light on inclusivity in exploratory practice, amplifying and deepening understandings, and shifting perceptions of what it means to be inclusive, as it...

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación cuantitativa de carácter exploratorio sobre el grado de satisfacción del profesorado de ELE sobre sus condiciones laborales y perspectivas profesionales. Se discuten críticamente los datos recogidos mediante un cuestionario distribuido en línea entre 673 docentes, que mide la satisfacción en ocho dimensiones: organizativa, económica, afectiva, motivacional, discriminación, ambiente laboral, realización profesional y beneficios sociales. Los resultados permiten obtener una primera panorámica de las condiciones temporales, organizativas, económicas, sociales y psicológicas de la profesión. A pesar de algunas limitaciones relacionadas...

Resumen:

Research on task-based language teaching (TBLT) has gained significant attention in recent years, yet studies on task design have primarily focused on manipulating task variables for research purposes. Little is known about teachers’ design processes, their choices, and how they balance design variables for pedagogical tasks. This study investigates task design processes in primary school contexts using an innovative web-based design tool. Thirty-five primary school teachers participated, with their design activities captured through think-aloud protocols. This approach provided a detailed view of teachers’ strategies, challenges, and iterative refinements during task creation. The findings reveal previously undocumented aspects of task design, including how teachers navigate the task cycle, their cognitive processes during design,...

Resumen:

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools have shown great potential for assisting teachers in their teaching routines. However, there is an urgent need for more empirical research to investigate the implementation and effectiveness of these tools. This study aimed to explore how teachers in an English as a foreign language (EFL) context perceived and used a generative AI-based tool, ChatPDF, to develop materials for reading lessons. Data were collected from three EFL teachers’ dialogues with ChatPDF, artefacts (including original and finalized materials), and individual semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was used to analyse the dialogues with ChatPDF through the lens of pedagogical content knowledge. The interviews were analysed thematically, and the artefacts were used for triangulation. The findings show that the...

Second language (L2) classroom is a dynamic and evolving space shaped by ongoing interactions between teachers and students. Understanding how these dynamic interactions unfold from a psychological perspective is critical for advancing L2 learning and teaching. This study contributes to this endeavour by examining the reciprocal relationship between teacher enthusiasm and L2 student classroom engagement as well as the mediating role of perceived learning value in this reciprocal relationship. Data were collected from 317 English as a foreign language learners in Vietnam at three time points across an academic semester and analysed by means of random-intercept cross-lagged panel modelling. Results revealed that teacher enthusiasm and L2 student engagement were reciprocally related over time, and this reciprocity was mediated by...

Based on the self-determination theory, the current study took a multilevel structural equation modeling approach to explore the relations between teacher–student relationship quality (TSRQ), students’ emotional engagement in English as a foreign language (EFL) lessons and writing performance. Furthermore, gender and socioeconomic status (SES) differences were examined in relation to the three constructs. The sample comprised of 952 students from 67 French secondary schools. The results indicated that TSRQ was positively related to students’ emotional engagement at both the student and school levels, although the link between TSRQ and students’ writing performance was non-significant at both levels. The positive association between emotional engagement in EFL lessons and writing performance was significant at the student level but non...

The teaching profession has undergone a dramatic shift in pedagogical practices due to COVID-19. Already facing numerous challenges prepandemic, language teaching in particular has become significantly more difficult, and the effect on language teacher stress and well-being is still being explored. Key to this study is the exploration of growth during trauma, an adaptation of post-traumatic growth. Following previous studies from MacIntyre et al., this article examines changes in language teacher stress, well-being, resilience, and growth during trauma from April 2020 to December 2021 in an online survey of over 1,100 language teachers internationally. Correlations revealed relative stability in...
