Abstract

Teacher wellbeing is gaining prominence in the realm of educational psychology, although it remains a relatively nascent domain. This trend is propelled by a perceptible shift in research focus, transitioning from an overwhelming emphasis on student-centered paradigms to a recognition of the indispensability of catering to teacher-centric considerations. This shift in emphasis underscores the evolving dynamics. Within this milieu, the domain of language teacher wellbeing emerges as a pivotal locus of inquiry within the broader landscape of language teacher psychology.
