This review strives to shed light on the related studies on the relationship between English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' personality traits, communication strategies, and their work engagement. The positive correlation between teachers' personality traits and work engagement has been confirmed in the review of the literature. Furthermore, studies have proved the relationship between teachers' communication strategies and personality traits. No studies have been done on the direct relationship between teachers' communication strategies and work engagement. However, the studies showed that some factors, such as teacher self-efficacy and willingness to communicate, can mediate the relationship between teachers' communication strategies and work engagement. To improve the language teaching quality, the pedagogical implications are explained in the end. Some suggestions for further research are provided to expand the literature about teachers' communication strategies, work engagement, and personality traits.
本综述旨在阐明有关外语教师的人格特质、沟通策略及其工作投入之间关系的相关研究。文献综述证实了教师人格特质与工作投入之间的正相关关系。此外,研究证明了教师沟通策略与人格特质之间的关系。尚未有关于教师沟通策略与工作投入之间直接关系的研究。然而,研究表明,教师自我效能感和沟通意愿等一些因素可以调节教师沟通策略与工作投入之间的关系。为提高语言教学质量,文末阐述了教学启示。还提供了一些进一步研究的建议,以拓展有关教师沟通策略、工作投入和人格特质的文献。
