中国大学对泰语教师的要求越来越高，作为外国教师,可能会产生一些心理健康问题，大多数人是因为即将在中国大学任教产生焦虑情绪。目前，尽管多数泰国教师都在泰国教授非母语者泰语，但在赴中国大学教学的准备中仍有很多情绪，这需要经验丰富的老师的帮助。遗憾的是，该领域的研究寥寥可数。 这篇硕士论文基于6名来自泰国清迈大学的泰国教师2012年到2018年在中国大学任教的经历，通过对个人的采访与观察来收集数据，对泰国教师在准备和教学中的焦虑情绪进行定性研究，并且介绍了他们处理焦虑经历的方法。研究发现，教师就像是焦虑的容器。 在赴中国任教之前，他们对中国的环境和文化知之甚少，没有国外教学经历，缺乏经验，还有健康问题、学生特点、年龄代沟、新材料和主题以及未知的中文都使他们感到焦虑，他们仅抱着一点自信开展教学。有老师对工作抱有很高的期望，但缺乏教学技巧和经验，这让他焦虑，并且感到很大的教学压力。因此，在赴中国大学任教之前解决焦虑问题可以有效地解决后来的教学和工作问题。本研究涉及以下三个问题： （1）泰国教师在中国任教会有什么类型的焦虑？ （2）赴中国任教之前，有哪些焦虑的来源？ （3）泰国老师如何解决他们的焦虑？ 研究结果显示，未来泰国教师对教学和工作的焦虑，可以通过任教前的准备以及在中国大学的工作得到解决，详情如下: （1）来自清迈大学的泰国教师们面临各种各样的压力，所以他们感到焦虑，这同时具有消极和积极作用，从积极方面来看，焦虑可能会推动并激励教师更好地完成任务。 （2）泰国教师的焦虑可能是由于在赴中国任教前缺乏准备引起的，这是后来面对异国环境和文化、课堂管理、语言障碍而产生焦虑的根本原因。 （3）锻炼自己、寻求帮助和表达自己的想法是解决泰国教师焦虑的方法。

The demand for Thai teachers in Chinese universities was increasing and the feeling of being a foreign language teacher may cause some anxiety problems related to psychological well-being. Most of them had to face with feeling anxious nowadays, since preparing before going to teach in Chinese universities. Presently, most Thai teachers teaching Thai as a foreign language to Chinese Students in Thailand, have many emotions while preparing to teach in Chinese university before going to teach in Chinese universities and also need help from experienced teachers. However, there has been little research in this field. This master thesis was qualitative in nature, based on 6 native Thai teachers’ anxiety experienced from Chiang Mai University and telling their stories as experienced in Chinese universities from year 2012 to year 2018. This research focuses on Thai teacher anxieties from preparing and teaching and also covers their ways to deal with their anxiety experiences. Interviewed and observation are used to collect data. Research on their anxiety experience has revealed that being teachers as a container of anxiety which is related to various emotions. Before going on to be Thai teachers in Chinese universities, they knew little about the Chinese environment and culture. Besides, they had no experience of teaching abroad, lacking of experience, health problems, different characteristics, generation gap, new materials and subject and unknown Chinese language made them feel anxious and have a little confidence to teach. One teacher has a high expectation for being a Thai teacher in Chinese universities but lacking teaching skills and experience, which make the teacher feel anxious and get lots of pressure to teach. Therefore, addressing anxiety before going to teach in Chinese universities could effectively eliminate later problems in teaching and working. The three questions addressed in this research are stated as follows: (1) What are the anxieties experienced by Thai teachers while preparing to be a Thai Teacher in Chinese universities? (2) What are the sources of anxiety experienced before going to be a Thai teacher in Chinese universities? (3) How do Thai teachers address their anxieties? The findings highlight the needs for future of Thai teacher’s anxiety about teaching and working to be addressed while being a Thai teacher in the Chinese universities context which are as follow: (1) Thai teachers from Chiang Mai University faced with various experiences that made them feel anxiety which divide into feelings negative and positive. Most of them have negative feelings but the anxiety is not only bad feelings but also about the positive feelings too which means an anxiety may push and motivate you to do something better. (2) Thai teacher anxieties can be triggered by a lack of ideas to prepare things before going to teach in Chinese universities which are the basis of subsequent or other cause of anxiety such as Chinese environments and cultures, Classroom management, language barriers and so on. (3) Exercise, Ask for help and Expressing are ways to deal with Thai teacher anxieties.
