Abstract

ABSTRACT In spite of growing scholarship addressing emotions in Applied Linguistics, little research has focused on emotional issues of language teacher educators. In this article, we present the results of a qualitative study investigating the perspectives of such educators (from two public universities in Brazil) regarding their work routines, wellbeing and quality of life in their workspaces. Data were generated through questionnaires and interviews with 18 and 13 participants, respectively. Results point to three major themes: a) how the university workspace is imagined, and what is often said/unsaid about it; b) time-based identities; and c) relations between agency, guilt and pleasure.
