Enhancing NNEST Wellbeing in the Shared Domain

Teacher Efficacy

Junior/Senior High School

Zoom 13 Sessions

Sun, Nov 22, 16:45-17:10 JST

This talk explores the importance of non-native English-speaking teacher (NNEST) motivation, and self-efficacy. Teachers with high levels of wellbeing foster students who are likewise productive and motivated. Considering the significance of this relationship, why has NNEST work-life balance and wellbeing been overlooked? Additionally, JET Programme issues, together with practicum and in-service training considerations will be scrutinized. How can they be improved in order to enhance NNEST self-confidence and increase the efficacy of ongoing reforms?
