Teaching is deemed a taxing enterprise, especially as far higher education concerned. As result, much research attention has been showered upon exploring the correlates of engagement for instructors. To contribute to this direction, present researchers carried out survey test model work in Chinese context. Teacher self-efficacy and resilience were added predictors hypothesized model. 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.

ABSTRACT As artificial intelligence (AI) has been integrated into foreign language (FL) education, learners' well‐being is influenced by various factors, including technological, personal and contextual elements. However, few studies explored how external internal factors jointly shape FL in the era of generative AI. To fill this gap, study explores effects AI acceptance, perceived teachers' enthusiasm self‐efficacy on investigating 613 university learners English as a (EFL). The structural equation modelling results reveal that (1) acceptance positively predicts EFL self‐efficacy; (2) does not predict (3) for receptive skills mediates relationship between acceptance/perceived well‐being, whereas productive play mediation role. This research broadens understanding antecedents extends application theory AI‐driven educational environment, providing significant pedagogical implications.

Abstract With the rise of positive psychology (PP) in 1954 and its flowering last decade 20th century, focus psychological educational studies has shifted from examining negative health‐related outcomes to their counterparts. In line with this new research agenda, several L2 researchers have studied different predictors among language teachers. Few studies, however, been dedicated teachers' well‐being potential predictors. To bridge lacuna, current tried evaluate role emotion regulation resilience predicting Chinese EFL well‐being. This also strived find out whether perceived self‐efficacy could mediate interaction between well‐being, resilience. For purpose, 430 English teachers recruited classes were asked respond four closed‐ended questionnaires. The analysis exhibited strong associations resilience, results divulged that be meaningfully predicted by ability Additionally, indicated association significantly mediated beliefs.

However, the determining governing factors implementing English as a foreign (EFL) contexts have been overlooked. To fill this gap, study used semi-structured interview with 35 Chinese EFL teachers to sketch ecological practice at micro, meso, macro levels. findings thematic analysis showed that ‘teachers’ personality/character’, ‘classroom environment’, ‘students’ gender’, ‘proficiency level’ were most significant micro-level classes. Concerning meso-level factors, ‘institutional environment/climate’ rules, regulations, policies’ influential. Furthermore, level, it was revealed ‘culture’, ‘social norms’, ‘educational system’ determine implementation L2 education. are discussed light empirical theoretical foundations corresponding implications for presented.

A sample comprising 379 participants drawn from diverse language institutes Iran, provided empirical for this study. Employing structural equation modeling validated scales each construct, study unveils partially mediated model, illuminating intricate relationships among variables under investigation. The findings reveal that both self mindset exert significant influence on engagement, with grit serving crucial partial mediator these associations. Moreover, demonstrates notable indirect effect primarily by grit. not only advances our understanding motivational drivers EFL learning but also yields practical insights educators curriculum designers seeking to bolster perseverance environments.
