Different elements in education should be taken into account in the development of education which affects learners' success. Educators are one of the main elements of any educational program, primarily in mainstream education, and there is considerable research recognizing this and the fact that educators have a significant effect on learners' success. Therefore, education can be enhanced simply by enhancing educators' effectiveness. Moreover, because of the importance of educators' factors, many researchers have emphasized educator attributes over the last 20 years. In an attempt to better explain the interaction between educator-related concepts in the setting of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), educator self-efficacy has a significant impact on the educators' everyday lives as well as on their learners and is regarded as an important factor in successful education and instruction. Furthermore, as one of the characteristics, teacher resilience is a multifaceted and developmental concept that has newly captured the interest of some scholars, specifically in the last 20 years, allowing educators not only to face difficult situations to survive but also to recover and prosper. To this end, the current review tries to emphasize these two significant factors in regulating learners' success. Corresponding to this review, some suggestions for further research are provided and pedagogical implications are proposed.
Second/foreign language education has been considered a complex profession due to the interaction of numerous internal and external factors. Owing to such complications, the teaching profession is seen as a tough task, for which L2 teachers must be psychologically ready. To provide effective education, teachers need to have career adaptability to manage the challenges and the transition of roles in academia. This ability may be affected by many factors like teachers' self-esteem and perceived social support. Despite the significance of these three constructs, few (if any) studies have focused on their interaction. Against this lacuna, this study presented a theoretical review of the concepts, definitions, dimensions, and related studies to EFL/ESL teachers' CA, self-esteem, and social support. The study also offers some implications for teachers, trainers, school principals, and researchers trying to increase their awareness of psycho-social factors involved in L2 education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
