This research aimed to explore English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ emotion and classroom practices with regard to two concepts: emotion regulation and group dynamics. Grounded in a sociocultural view of language education, I intended to explore higher education (HE) teachers’ on-site professional development, where they make professional decisions to handle challenging classroom situations and pursue effective language teaching.As in the beginning phase of this research project, I have reviewed relevant literature to situate my inquiry in a broader research area. This resulted in reading across various disciplines: applied linguistics, education, psychology, sociology, and organisational studies. I have identified multiple theories and concepts. They can possibly help define emerging ideas and phenomena and expand the scope of this research project.I have conducted two informal interviews with experienced HE EFL teachers. These pilot interviews helped me formulate relevant lines of inquiry and clarify feasible research design (Yin, 2018). Drawing on what I learned from the literature review, I have also revisited the data obtained in my previous research. This has given me some insights into the research context, which urged me to sum up the findings and write a research report. During this formative process, I could narrow down the topic for the subsequent years of this project.Yin, R. K. (2018). Case study research and applications: Design and methods. Sage publications.

本研究旨在探讨英语作为外语（EFL）教师的情绪和课堂实践，涉及两个概念：情绪调节和群体动力。基于语言教育的社会文化观，我打算探索高等教育（HE）教师的现场专业发展，他们做出专业决策来处理具有挑战性的课堂情况并追求有效的语言教学。在本研究项目的开始阶段，我回顾了相关文献，将我的探究置于更广泛的研究领域。这导致了跨学科的阅读：应用语言学、教育学、心理学、社会学和组织研究。我已经确定了多种理论和概念。它们可能有助于定义新兴的想法和现象，并扩大该研究项目的范围。我对经验丰富的高等教育英语教师进行了两次非正式采访。这些试点访谈帮助我制定了相关的调查线索并阐明了可行的研究设计（Yin，2018）。根据我从文献综述中学到的知识，我还重新审视了之前研究中获得的数据。这让我对研究背景有了一些了解，促使我总结研究结果并撰写研究报告。在这个形成过程中，我可以缩小该项目后续几年的主题范围。Yin, R.K.
