Emotional management is one crucial skill that teachers should acquire. In this case, the teachers should be able to regulate their emotions to succeed in the teaching process. This study aimed to investigate how Papuan English teachers manage their emotions during teaching based on two research questions: 1. In which situation do Papuan English teachers experience positive and negative emotions? 2. To what extent can Papuan English teachers manage their emotions during teaching? The four participants who contributed to this study were experienced English teachers from two Junior High Schools in Timika, Papua, Indonesia. In this study, the researchers employed a qualitative method, specifically a descriptive case study. In collecting the data, the researchers used two types of instruments namely open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews. Meanwhile, the researchers used the thematic analysis method to analyze the data. Based on the findings, the positive emotions consisted of four elements such as happiness, motivating, confidence and pride. The negative emotions also encompassed four elements: anger, stress, sadness, and anxiety. In addition, the findings suggested that most participants had regulated their emotions properly and appropriately by employing several strategies such as avoiding harsh words during anger, self-relaxing, self-talking, and reflection.

Abstract

Even though previous researchers recognized professional identity change as one of the most vulnerable stages for EFL teachers, only a few researched it in Indonesia's context, applying the critical incident technique. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the EFL teachers’ professional identity transformation through teachers’ factors and how those factors influence their professional identity. This study used the Critical Incidents Technique (CIT) to employ an open-ended questionnaire for Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Individual in-depth interview to gather the data. Five teachers from different schools in Sintang, West Kalimantan, were purposively chosen as the study participants. The results showed that the teacher faced three personal, interpersonal, and organizational stress factors. The personal factors were related to teachers’ emotional control and self-efficacy. Interpersonal factors were related to students’ behavior in the classroom and negative relationships with colleagues. Meanwhile, organizational factors were related to the lack of media facilities and salary. Despite the stress, EFL teachers showed their ability to cope. The participants broadened on how they dealt with the situation, how stressors affected their identity as teachers, such as preserving their motivation to become teachers, and how they overcame job dissatisfaction.
