“…In addition, many scholars have applied Hochschild's work to a variety of other contexts. The following is a partial list of the broad range of workers whose professional lived experience has proven fruitful for the application of emotion labor theories by communication, psychology, and management researchers, among others: (a) medical professionals, most prominently nurses (Gray, 2010;Howard & Timmons, 2012;Mazhindu, 2003;Stayt, 2009), but also mental health professionals (Gregor, 2010) and physicians (Martínez-Iñigo et al, 2007), (b) childcare industry workers (Boyer, Reimer, & Irvine, 2013;Vincent & Braun, 2013), (c) criminal justice professionals such as 911 operators (Tracy & Tracy, 1998), correctional facility officers (Tracy, 2000;2005), firefighters (Scott & Myers, 2005), and police officers (Chapman, 2009), (d) social workers, including child protection services case workers (Gray, 2002), care managers (Gorman, 2000), professional activists (Rodgers, 2010), legal counsel for asylum seekers (Westaby, 2010), and the clergy (Kinman, McFall, & Rodriguez, 2011), and (e) hospitality industries workers such as flight attendants (Sheehan, 2012), heritage tourism site actors (van Dijk & Kirk, 2007), adventure tour leaders (Torland, 2011), and cruise ship employees (Tracy, 2003).…”

An area of research that may shed light on the pressing problem of FL teacher attrition is emotion labor. Emotion labor (or emotional labour), a construct stemming from research in the fields of communication and psychology and focusing mainly on service professionals, has recently been taken up in education literature. Although student emotions in language acquisition have been examined, the field of applied linguistics has not yet tapped the explanatory potential of teacher emotions. The current project explores the emotion work of 5 teachers in rural U.S. high school FL classrooms. Thematic analysis of interviews with teachers of Spanish, French, and Latin yielded 5 key insights: perceived lack of community and institutional support for FL teachers, an excessive burden for motivation felt by these teachers, the use of teacher emotion labor to motivate their students, emotional burnout of the teachers, and perceived lack of teacher efficacy. The last two, while not inevitable, seem to be mutually influencing, forming a downward spiral that can eventually impact the willingness or ability of some teachers to continue in their careers. Implications of this study include recognition of the significance of teacher emotion labor in FL pedagogy and its potential role in teacher attrition.
