Assessing EFL Teachers’ Teaching Success in Light of the Sociocultural Aspects of Identity and Collegiality

The current study probed the probable relationship between three constructs of sociocultural aspects of identity, collegiality and teacher success. ۲۲۷ EFL male and female teachers constituted the participants. Three validated and reliable instruments were employed and the data was collected through Google Forms. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as well as SPSS. The proposed model and the study research questions were examined and the results revealed a positive and significant relationship between study variables. Moreover, age and years of experience, were the sociocultural factors which proved to be predictors of teacher success in negative and positive ways respectively. Moreover, the construct of ‘Joint Planning and Assessment’ within the teacher collegiality scale, correlated positively with teacher success. However, the mediating effect of collegiality in the relation between identity and teacher success proved insignificant. Pedagogical implications and concluding remarks were also presented considering the EFL teaching context.
