This is the first edited volume to bring together research on the interaction between language teacher identity and wellbeing. It addresses the need for further research on the experience of language teachers and the vulnerability and resilience they demonstrate in the face of threats to their wellbeing. Naming, describing and analysing issues with a view to sensitively addressing them, this book contributes to research as a social enterprise which can raise public consciousness of these issues. Exploring how language teacher identity influences and is influenced by wellbeing, the chapters develop a theoretical and empirical understanding of this interaction using Indigenous, psychological, critical and postmodern frameworks and the personal perspectives of teachers and researchers. Spanning a wide range of cultural and institutional contexts, this book provides a wealth of insights for teacher leaners, practising teachers and researchers.

Industry Reviews
Thematically organized into three parts (Knowledging, Developing, and Practicing), this edited volume reminds us how closely language teacher identities and wellbeing are coupled. The varied theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical perspectives explored in the book extend a much needed conversation between these two key concepts in language teacher education. * Peter I. De Costa, Michigan State University, USA *
Anne Feryok brings together an outstanding group of scholars in this volume that adopts a holistic, empathetic, and supportive approach to teacher development and wellbeing. The volume presents research conducted in diverse settings around the globe that is deeply engaging and profoundly impactful. The contributors paint a complete picture of what it means to be a language teacher in today's demanding world. I highly recommend this book for anyone committed to fostering a nurturing and sustainable language teaching profession. * Hayriye Kayi-Aydar, University of Arizona, USA *
