Oksana CHUGAI National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”   ESL TEACHERS’ WELL-BEING DURING WARTIME IN UKRAINE   In times of armed conflicts, disorder prevails, leaving little room for careful planning and organization. Despite the chaos, education remains a fundamental human right, essential for imparting survival skills, conflict resolution abilities, and resilience [1, p. 12]. Hence, English teachers must recognize that Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is not just a trendy educational concept but a crucial tool for teaching efficiently [3, p. 8]. The well-being of teachers, their state of overall health and happiness, covers physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of life that are affected by the war. According to the results of the research on teaching through wartime in Ukraine, half of the teachers were burned out, emotionally devastated, and pushed themselves to continue teaching [4, p. 22].

 

Nataliia PYLIACHYK Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, Ivano-Frankivsk   ENHANCING STUDENTS’ LEXICAL COMPETENCE THROUGH FLIPPED CLASSROOM LEARNING   There have been relatively few studies specifically examining the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model in foreign language instruction. … For example, A. Basal reported positive results from his investigation into the effectiveness of a flipped first-year composition course [1].   REFERENCES 1.     Basal, A. (2015).
