Abstract
This study adopts a community of practice perspective to explore how four student teachers collaboratively regulated emotions during a 16-week online Chinese-language teaching practicum, thereby fostering emotional and professional growth. Participants identified emotional challenges as shared concerns, transitioning from individual coping to collective strategies through reflective practices. Group reflection and iterative feedback deepened emotional awareness and supported the co-construction of effective regulation strategies. Collaborative engagement enhanced empathetic reflection, cultivated a sense of belonging, and redefined professional identity. Findings highlight shared emotional experiences and collective practices as crucial for emotion regulation and professional development in online teaching.
