Abstract

The aim of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the feeling of burnout among English Language Teaching (ELT) major student-teachers. More specifically, the study focuses on if the nature and level of student-teachers’ burnout change according to their year of study. The data for this research were collected through a standard Burnout Inventory administered to 350 student-teachers in total from 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade ELT majors studying in Turkey. Later, follow-up interviews were carried out with 12 volunteering student-teachers for a deeper understanding of the situation. In order to analyze the data obtained, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. It was found that, in line with the relevant literature, the participant student-teachers feel different levels of burnout due to personal, professional and social factors.
