“…Such immersive experiences in foreign educational systems often lead to a significant re-evaluation of previously held pedagogical beliefs. This introspection and external exposure foster a more integrative approach to teaching (Favela, 2023;Colmenero & Lasagabaster, 2023;Hsu, 2023;Nguyen, Trent & Nguyen, 2023;Seo & Kubota, 2023;Kir, 2022;Duff & Uchida, 1997;Ellis, 2016;Rudolph et al, 2018). This approach seamlessly combines elements from both native and foreign educational contexts, creating a rich tapestry of pedagogical strategies and philosophies (Nelson & Chen, 2023;Dhami, 2023;Dominic, 2023;Manan et., al., 2023;Monfared, 2019;Liu & Tannacito, 2013).…”

“…EFL instructors, by the very nature of their profession, often find themselves at the crossroads of multiple linguistic and cultural landscapes. Their experiences as language learners and their exposure to various educational systems also have a significant impact on their professional identities (Favela, 2023;Colmenero & Lasagabaster, 2023;Trent & Nguyen, 2023;Seo & Kubota, 2023;Hsu, 2023;Kir, 2022;Duff & Uchida, 1997;Ellis, 2016;Rudolph et al, 2018;Sešek, 2007). This becomes particularly evident for EFL instructors who have pursued higher education abroad.…”

This qualitative study delves into the experiences of three Saudi EFL instructors who pursued their postgraduate studies in the United States, exploring the relationship between writing and identity. Through the lens of narrative inquiry, the research uncovers the multifaceted experiences of these instructors, shedding light on the interplay of cultural, linguistic, and educational influences on their professional identities. The study's findings reveal that the U.S. educational system, with its diverse pedagogical approaches and emphasis on critical thinking, played a pivotal role in shaping the instructors' perceptions of writing as an act of identity expression. Furthermore, the research highlights the transformative power of foreign education as the instructors navigate through the challenges and opportunities of studying in a different linguistic and cultural environment. Their narratives underscore the dynamic nature of identity, which is continuously negotiated and redefined in response to various educational and cultural stimuli. The importance of this study lies not only in its insights into the personal and professional journeys of the three EFL instructors but also in its broader implications for the field of EFL education. It emphasizes the need for educators and institutions to recognize and value the diverse backgrounds and experiences of EFL instructors as well as learners, as these play a crucial role in shaping pedagogical practices and beliefs. In essence, this research contributes to the growing body of literature on the nexus of writing, identity, and foreign education, offering a nuanced understanding of the challenges and rewards of cross-cultural educational experiences.
