Emotions as agency: Feeling rules, emotion labor, and English language teachers’ decision-making
Abstract
Abstract This article explores feeling rules and emotion labor as tools of language teachers' agency and decision-making. Grounded in a poststructural-discursive approach to emotions, one that considers the relationship between emotions and power, feeling rules and emotion labor are highlighted as possible areas of resistance and reform in language teaching. To illustrate emotions as agency, interview data about English language teachers’ responses to plagiarism is presented, including resistance to the feeling rules of a university plagiarism policy. Also discussed will be emotion labor revealed during interviews with these teachers about addressing plagiarism in student texts. The chapter ends with implications of feeling rules and emotion labor for future language-teacher education.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
