| Popis: | Occupational stress is a serious issue among EFL teachers, associated with the excess of teaching-related tasks and daily interaction with students who are not always engaged. This descriptive, cross-sectional study intended to understand better the educators’ self-perception of their own stress levels and their knowledge about mindfulness techniques. The partakers were required to complete two digital questionnaires: a Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety Scale (FLTAS) adapted from Aydin and Ustuk (2020) and a survey about mindfulness. A total of 47 active EFL teachers completed the first, but only 23 did the second one. The findings confirmed by both instruments, show that teachers perceive low levels of stress in their lives; the elements that scored higher as stressors were those related to student participation and engagement, and the element that scored lower as a stress trigger was the use of English in the class. This research could provide important contributions for educational institutions seeking to support teacher wellbeing, teacher training programs looking to incorporate stress management strategies, EFL educators themselves who might benefit from mindfulness approaches and researchers exploring the effectiveness of mindfulness in educational settings. |
