This study investigates English as a second language (ESL) writing teachers' beliefs about themselves as writers in both their first and second languages. It aims to discover what connections ESL writing teachers may see between their beliefs about and practice of teaching second language (L2) writing and their experiences in writing in their first and second languages. One bilingual mother tongue English language speaker (EL) and one English-as-an-additional-language speaker (EAL), both of whom were PhD students teaching ESL writing part-time in very different classroom contexts, took part in the study. During a 15-week semester, their ESL writing classes were periodically observed and each teacher interviewed, after observations, using stimulated recall. Findings indicated that, when salient for the teachers as writers themselves, both L1 and L2 writing and literacylearning experiences may figure prominently in L2 instructional decision-making.
