Abstract
In view of the recent transformations occurred in language learning environments, much interest has raised on positive psychology and issues connected to the well-being of learners and teachers. Acknowledging that teacher well-being needs to be taken into great consideration as students’ learning achievements largely depend on it, in this article we will try to reflect on what this concept implies, especially in relation to the field of educational linguistics. By drawing on the literature on well-being in language teaching, we will try to present some of the new lines of research opened by the latest changes in language learning environments, which seem to be urgently in need of further investigation.
