Description

Emotion regulation is a crucial language teaching skill, mediating a range of classroom, health, and relational outcomes. Here, I report on a large-scale qualitative study that explored the emotion regulation performed by 15 non-Japanese teachers working at a Japanese university. I present examples of how the participants’ personal histories, relationships, institutions, and subjective understanding of cultural guidelines informed the strategies and motives of their emotion regulation.
