Özet
The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between teacher engagement
levels and social-emotional competencies in EFL (English as a Foreign Language)
teaching. This study also aimed to investigate whether there are significant differences
in English language teachers' engagement levels and social-emotional competencies
depending on their demographic characteristics such as gender, school type and years of
experience. The Research design of the study was based on the survey method. The
research sample constituted of 120 Turkish EFL teachers working in Kırşehir. Our data
analysis was carried out using the statistical software of SPSS, and the results were
presented in tables, figures, and text. In this study, both descriptive and inferential
statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that the majority of EFL
teachers showed moderate to high levels of engagement in the classroom and developed
adequate social-emotional competencies. The results of this study also uncovered that
EFL teachers’ social-emotional competencies significantly differ by gender. Teachers'
gender was found to play a role in the development of their social-emotional
competencies. Besides, teacher engagement and social-emotional competencies were not
found to differ significantly by school type and years of experience.
