Reconsidering English Language Learning in Costa Rica: Exploring Teachers’ Well-Being and its Importance, Challenges, and Recommendations in the Wake of a New Era in Education

Abstract

The lack of empathy and support that educators constantly face has serious consequences. However, this does not seem to be enough to make a significant change in the way this is perceived. The following paper aims to study the current situation regarding teacher well-being among Costa Rican English language teachers. It focuses on stressors, testimonies, and a series of strategies that can be used as a way to cope with this profession’s struggles and offer better conditions for English language instructors.
