Chapter 7. Emotional labour in the eikaiwa classroom by Amelia Yarwood
Abstract
Amelia Yarwood deals with the issue of emotional labour and relates stories from four teachers (including herself) that focus on the deeply complex and emotionally taxing work that eikaiwa teachers are sometimes called upon to do. These narratives reveal a wide-ranging collection of identities that eikaiwa teachers are asked to inhabit including coach, psychologist, and service provider, and the emotional toll that these often-contradictory roles take on teachers.
