The adequacy of language education largely depends on the favorable and unfavorable emotions that teachers students experience throughout process. Simply said, emotional factors play a key role in improving quality teaching learning. Furthermore, these also promote well-being learners place them suitable mental condition. In view impact health learners, many educational scholars around world have studied factors, their background, pedagogical consequences. Nonetheless, majority previous studies employed traditional research methods assessing variables influences teachers’ learners’ health. Because complex dynamic approaches often fail to evaluate dynamic, non-linear connections with well-being. Accordingly, some novel are required measure dynamicity complexity settings. To address this call, current state-of-the-art conceptual article seeks provide new insights for investigating potential states. This study intends offer comprehensive list emerging take into account nature variables. Finally, outlines implications review researchers.

A number 372 English foreign language (EFL) instructors contexts selected through convenience sampling. The measurement models latent variables (i.e., self-efficacy, resilience, engagement) confirmed via running Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Afterward, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used structural results obtained from analyses showed that both teacher could significantly predict EFL teachers’ engagement, with serving stronger predictor than resilience. outcomes suggest some implications stakeholders such teachers, trainers, policy makers, officials.
