Psychological research in second language acquisition (SLA) is a growing field.
Much of this research has primarily focused on examining the language learner
with comparatively little emphasis on exploring the language teacher. Moreover,
psychological research informed by process-oriented approaches views individuals’
psychological constructs stable individual difference variables. Recently, there has
been a growing interest in the complex dynamic systems perspective, which has led
researchers to focus increasingly on the dynamic nature of individuals’ psychological
variables. This study explores the psychological dynamics of two male participants
working at tertiary-level as English language teachers in Pakistan over the longterm timescale of years. Data were generated using autobiographical narratives.
An inductive approach, which is inspired by Grounded Theory was then used to
analyze the data. The findings demonstrate both stability and change in teachers’
experiences, thus suggesting the dynamic nature of their psychology. The paper
concludes by discussing the methodological challenges facing future research on
individual’s psychological dynamics.
