Özet

COVID-19 brought many challenges to teachers to maintain emergency remote teaching; however, those challenges were not examined in terms of their potential to cause teacher burnout. This study scrutinized the possible stressors by employing semi-structured interviews, observations of lessons, and post-interviews with three English language teachers. Adopting the constant comparison method, the study found that emergency remote teaching caused certain stressors which derived from dissatisfaction with the job, political issues, the lack of support from society, and feeling of incompetence. It provided a number of implications for teachers, policymakers, and teacher trainers for the demands of emergency remote teaching.
