Abstract

Teachers’ emotion is a double edged sword—it can either prompt teaching activities or do harm to it, and it is therefore important for us to explore this issue and ensure emotion is applied appropriately in daily teaching practice. Based on literature review as well as author’s personal experience, this research examines the ways teachers’ emotion influence students, teachers and the teaching practice as a whole. As it turns out, teachers’ emotion is closely related to a variety of issues such as teachers’ job burnout, and the emotion itself is influenced by various factors under the teaching context. Possible solutions to solving teachers’ emotional problems, as well as potential methods of putting emotion to good use, are proposed according to the findings.
