___________________________

As the first step in our study of foreign language teacher wellbeing, we provide an overview of literature on burnout and wellbeing, together with an analysis of the distinctiveness of foreign language (henceforward FL) teachers.

Previous work on in-service teacher training and wellbeing will be also reported, since they form the starting point of our theoretical framework.

We offer a review of the experimental studies that have served as the basis for the devisal of our methodological approach, which entails a combination of qualitative and quantitative instruments, namely narrative analysis, discussion groups, interviews, and questionnaires.
