Empowering and Fostering the ESL Teachers of a Private English Language Institute in the Philippines

A Case Study

Abstract

Employee empowerment is essential for any organization or company. For any organization to flourish and be at par with others, leaders or managers must strive harder to encourage and motivate and empower employees or faculty. Empowerment is the main target for success; each member of an organization or company can produce great materials, resources, and learning tools, clear vision and mission, goals, and objectives. Empowerment is a process that continues. Bandura’s Social Cognitive theory and self-determination theory contribute to employee or faculty empowerment and aid in determining the choice of task and fostering positive attitudes. The faculty will feel free and possess the competence to resolve problems and contribute their ideas to the success of an organization. This study aimed to determine how administrators foster and empower teachers at an English language institute. This study used a qualitative research design (case study) approach. Interviews, observations, document analysis, and other documents that may be required for the research design were used. The participants were English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers from a selected private English Language Institute in the Philippines. This study will benefit the leaders and faculty of an educational institution. Employee empowerment is essential for any organization or company.
