Stressors, personality and wellbeing among language teachers

Language teachers’ coping strategies during the Covid-19 conversion to online teaching: Correlations with stress, wellbeing and negative emotions

“…Among negative outcomes included in the present study are ratings of increased stress, anxiety, anger, sadness, and loneliness. The burgeoning literature on positive psychology in SLA ( MacIntyre et al., 2019 ) makes it clear that it is essential to include measures of both positive and negative outcomes because “wellbeing is not simply the absence of negative function, but rather is something more. That is, a lack of negative affect, depression, loneliness, insecurity, and illness is not the same as the presence of positive affect, happiness, social connection, trust, and wellness” ( Butler & Kern, 2016 , p. 2).…”

“…The typical days for language teachers around the world were stressful enough, given their typically heavy workloads, time pressures, and difficulties juggling roles ( MacIntyre et al., 2019 ). The sources of teacher stress have multiplied with the advent of Covid-19.…”

Visual cues and perception of emotional intensity among L1 and LX users of English

“…There may be personality traits that protect individuals against mental distress in the face of adversity (Lyons et al, 2019). MacIntyre et al (2019) examined the correlations between personality, well-being and stress in an international sample of language teachers.
