Facing EL teachers' burnout through motivation

Journal Title: Journal of Pedagogical Research - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

The educational institutions in many countries are faced with the major problem of teacher burnout causing high rates of attrition and absenteeism. There is widespread agreement among researchers that teacher burnout can effectively be countered through emphasis on teacher motivation. This article is about a 2-year qualitative research carried out by an English language teacher who focused on how to cope successfully with potential burnout conditions through a mutually reinforcing cycle of teacher and student motivation activated by the implementation of a Postmethod emotion-focused pedagogical framework and the emphasis on the quality of life in the English classroom.
