To this end, ۴۰ male and female English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers and ۱۰۰ EFL learners were randomly selected from both public schools and private language institutes. The Oxford Placement Test (OPT) and MBI-ES questionnaire were employed as the instruments of the present study. The researcher distributed MBI-ES questionnaire among the teacher participants and also used OPT test and gave it to ۱۰۰ students of each class in order to measure their achievement and their language performance.
