This article presents a study of CALL teachers{\textquoteright} emotions and well-being of coping with emergency remote teaching (ERT) at a community college in Hong Kong SAR of China during the pandemic. This is a case study which investigated emergency CALL teaching design and technical preparation, synchronic and asynchronous online teaching and online assessment in the new context. The CALL teachers were largely concerned about the quality of delivery, students{\textquoteright} feedback, students{\textquoteright} learning outcome and privacy issues.

Findings were reported in narrative accounts of representative lecturers. In addition, an in-depth thematic description was provided, and a model of emergency adjustment (EA) was proposed. It was found that, overall, the CALL teachers in the community college were largely stressed and over-loaded, and their physical conditions, especially eyesight was mostly impaired due to long term online activities. Meanwhile, the study also reported practical strategies that lecturers adopted to address difficulties and challenges arising during the pandemic.

This research could make a significant contribution to the literature on EA and adaptation of CALL teachers in Hong Kong and elsewhere. In addition, using narrative accounts to present data could also contribute to methodological issues in studying teaching and learning in an emergency remote teaching (ERT) environment. ",
