The importance of teacher well-being in language education is gaining attention. Effective teaching goes beyond technical skills, requiring emotional engagement and a supportive environment. Well-being influences teachers’ ability to connect with students and manage stress. Researchers emphasize emotional balance, work-life integration, and institutional support to prevent burnout. This study explores language teachers’ experiences and challenges related to well-being, focusing on pre-service and in-service teachers. It highlights strategies like mindfulness, gratitude practices, and work-life boundaries, alongside institutional support, emphasizing the need for systemic changes to support teacher well-being for both educators and students.
