Primary school teachers are immune: a journey in the sea of psychological well-being, buoyancy, and engagement

Abstract

The concept of language teacher immunity is a relatively new notion that has been introduced in the field of language teacher psychology. It is imperative that teachers have their inherent immunity strengthened since they have never been intrinsically protected against fluctuations that are unanticipated and beyond their control. In order to achieve this goal, the present research used a quantitative approach in order to investigate the possible effects of teacher immunity on their psychological well-being, buoyancy, and engagement. This study was conducted by sending out three questionnaires to a total of 384 primary language teachers. On the basis of the findings, it was concluded that teacher immunity has the potential to serve as a significant predictor of English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ psychological well-being, buoyancy, and engagement. The research’s conclusions may have substantial implications for education in terms of advancing psychological well-being, buoyancy, and engagement.
