The concept that teachers are agents who actively manufacture meaning about their professional identities serves as the foundation for our presentation of the construction of our identities as EFL instructors building their professional development through on-site and online research-based paper dissemination. The methodologies of collaborative autoethnography (CAE) and arts-based educational research (ABER) were utilized to investigate and reflect upon the formative experiences that have contributed to our professional development and our sense of who we are as teacher researchers. We are gaining insight into the historical, socio-cultural, and institutional factors that have shaped and transformed our identity as English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher researchers by articulating and reflecting upon the textual and visual evidence we have collected and continuously analyzed. The material at hand encompasses written and visual forms that have been gathered and analyzed. Through our joint efforts, we have been able to anticipate potential avenues for professional growth. This has motivated us to enhance the type of collaborative research that fosters community capacity development within our own group and the broader scholarly community.
