Hackman's (1987) job characteristics model of work motivation is described and applied to English language teaching, with concrete recommendations made on the basis of Hackman's action principles for job design. By attending to these job design principles, those charged with setting up and running English language teaching units create the conditions for teachers to reap the maximum rewards from their profession, including opportunities for long‐term growth and career advancement and an increased sense of self‐actualisation and empowerment. As teachers grow and prosper, so do the language programmes and the larger field of ESL with which they are associated
