Abstrak
This study explores the intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors along with gender perspectives that influence non-English Language Education (non-ELE) graduates to pursue careers in English language teaching. Using a qualitative case study design the research focuses on two participants a male (Sam) and a female (Joy) with academic backgrounds in communication studies who chose to become English teachers despite having no formal pedagogical training. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke rsquo s thematic analysis framework supported by four key motivational theories Self-Determination Theory Expectancy-Value Theory Gender-Role Theory and Social Identity Theory. Findings reveal that both participants were driven by a combination of motivations yet with significant differences. The male participant was driven more by intrinsic motivation such as his affection for English and the fulfillment of sharing knowledge. In contrast the female participant was driven by extrinsic motivations especially income potential although she also held a strong affection for the English language. Gendered perceptions of the teaching profession are seen as influential with societal expectations and stereotypes shaping each participant s career decisions and experiences differently. Additionally their communication backgrounds played a key role in their teaching practice despite their lack of formal education training. This study contributes to the understanding of non-traditional ways into English language teaching and highlights the need in accepting teachers with diverse backgrounds and experiences. It also encourages further research on gender and motivation in non-traditional teaching careers.
