Abstract
This study explored the interplay between teacher immunity, school climate, and student-reported teaching quality. Data were collected from 107 secondary school English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) teachers and their students (N = 2587) in China. Employing multi-level moderation modelling, the analysis revealed that teacher immunity positively predicted teaching quality. Moreover, school climate moderated this relationship: a supportive school climate amplified the positive impact of teacher immunity on teaching quality, while an unsupportive school climate weakened this effect. These findings underscore the context-sensitive nature of teacher immunity and the crucial role of school climate in shaping teachers' teaching effectiveness.
