Описание выступления:
The current study is situated in the third wave of Positive Psychology research. It focuses on the role positive institutions play regarding teachers’ well-being and their emotions experienced in the FL classroom. Participants were 263 Austrian FL teachers. Latent modeling indicated that positive school leadership and positive practices in school, more generally, were both positive predictors of teachers’ well-being. The dignity and respect, support, caring and inspiration experienced between all employees had a stronger effect on teacher well-being than school leadership though.
Additionally, well-being positively predicted FL Teaching Enjoyment and it negatively predicted FL Teaching Anxiety. Neither school leadership nor positive practices in school directly predicted teachers’ emotions in the FL class.
