ABSTRACT
Recent events such as pandemics, natural disasters, religious persecutions, forced migrations, war, and social and political unrest have affected children, youth, and adults all around the world. Teacher stress and burnout have been present in the literature for nearly four decades, with recent publications pointing to the serious consequences these have for the health and performance of educators. The teaching field has historically been characterized by being a profession filled with high levels of stress, contributing to low levels of teacher well-being. English language teachers may also be faced with emotional unbalance, mental exhaustion, compassion fatigue, and/or secondary traumatic stress emanating from vicariously experiencing the traumatic experiences of their English learners.
