Foreign Language Teachers and Learners in the Face of COVID-19 #1114

We present the findings of a global longitudinal study (involving over 6,000 participants from 118 countries) investigating how language teachers and learners as well as linguistics instructors and students were handling the 2020 transition to emergency remote instruction. We will present the meaningful relationships between mutually interacting variables, including sociodemographics (gender, age, education level handled, prior experience with online instruction), circumstances and logistics (economic status of the country, life circumstances, infections among family and friends, level of support), attitudes, behaviors, psychological states, and personality traits (including coping, engagement, and well-being). The significant, sometimes non-trivial findings offer valuable guidance for prevention and training, both during the ongoing pandemic and in possible future shifts to emergency remote teaching and learning.
