Beskrivning
This book explores language teacher wellbeing across the career span from an ecological perspective. It reports on empirical findings from an extensive investigation into language teacher wellbeing in various social, cultural and linguistic contexts. It is unique in casting light on the professional trajectory of language teachers and opening up discussions on the characteristics, psychological needs and strengths of language teachers at different points in their careers. It examines wellbeing in terms of the dynamic interplay between the challenges individuals encounter in their personal and professional lives, and the psychological, social and contextual resources that they draw on to buffer the impact of these challenges. The findings of the study will help readers to understand how language teachers can protect and nurture their wellbeing, not only to remain in the profession, but also to thrive in the long-term. The book will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the lives, wellbeing and psychology of language teachers in diverse contexts and career phases.

Recensioner i media

As a teacher who has traversed the four career phases reflected in this book, I can personally attest to the veracity of the authors’ characterization of the dynamic nature of wellbeing and the internal and external factors that influence it. I highly recommend that all teachers everywhere, no matter their current trajectory, read this book. Unquestionably, they’ll find themselves reflected somewhere in these pages and feel the camaraderie and kindredship that can only be felt by being a teacher.
