Abstract

Much research has been done regarding EFL teacher educators’ identity construction. However, studies that look at teachers’ past narratives as EFL learners and how such narratives contribute to their present identity construction seem sparse. This study, as part of a larger PhD research project, was designed to fill the gap by illuminating the contributions of past narratives on EFL teacher educators’ identity construction. We employed a life-history narrative inquiry to elicit participants’ narratives. The analysis was conducted using NVivo software for qualitative data analysis combined with Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis procedure. The narrative data indicate that past narratives significantly shape EFL teacher identity through reflection and the negotiation of experiences. Both participants transformed their challenges and triumphs into meaningful contributions to their teaching practices. These findings reinforce the importance of reflective practices in professional development and highlight the need for narrative-based policies and workshops to support EFL educators in Indonesia.
