An Investigation Into Teachers' Perceptions of Their Wellbeing in the ELT Sector in Malta
Abstract
Several studies have concluded that the teaching profession is characterized by high occurrences of emotional exhaustion and burnout. These conditions very often lead to low levels of wellbeing in teachers and constitute a major concern for the profession. Teachers who experience low levels of wellbeing are much more likely to suffer from mental health issues. This study investigates the wellbeing of teachers working in private language schools forming part of the English Language Teaching (ELT) sector in Malta. It focuses on the factors that can positively or negatively influence teacher wellbeing and examines the self-regulation strategies ELT practitioners apply. The study's findings show that conditions such as low salary, working without a proper contract, and student misbehaviour are the highest causative factors that negatively affect teacher wellbeing. The study concludes that more wellbeing development programmes are needed so as to equip language teachers with the knowledge and skills to safeguard their wellbeing.
