Abstract :Although wellbeing has been widely discussed in the literature, it is still a relatively new concept in education. This study reviews the concept of teacher wellbeing in depth. It was also conducted to examine English language instructors\' perspectives on the concept of teacher wellbeing. The study, which includes two different data collection methods, is intended to contribute to the literature in terms of the concept of teacher wellbeing. For this purpose, a questionnaire was administered to the English language lecturers to determine their demographic characteristics and the results of the questionnaire were presented. After the questionnaire, semi-structured interviews were carried out with the same English language lecturers in order to seek their views on the subject. The interviews were analyzed by the descriptive analysis method and the results were presented.Keywords : wellbeing, teacher wellbeing, language learning, descriptive analysis
