Abstract

Recently, there is a growing concern for teachers’ well-being in English Language Teaching (ELT) worldwide, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Teachers’ well-being is highly associated with students’ achievements and staff turnover or even attrition (Greenier et al., 2021). Thus, actively responding to Mercer’s (2021) call for action to prioritize teachers’ well-being, editors hit the nail on the head with this recent volume by shedding light on factors influencing teachers’ well-being in ELT in different contexts and corresponding measures from an ecological perspective.
