Summary: | The purpose of this article is to discuss my own auto ethnographical reflection of teaching
experiences obtained during a 6 month Discourse Analysis course back in 2013. I will discuss
my teaching experiences in relation to the TEGCOM and its related literatures. I then showcase
what and how my teaching experience matches with the pedagogy. I use the following TEGCOM
(Lin, Wang, Akamatsu & Riazi (2002; 2005) reference to contextualize the Western materials to
students’ cultural contexts. In this paper, I use auto-ethnography (Cauley, 2008; Ellis, Adam,
Bochner, 2011) in elaborating my experience of teaching Discourse Analysis course, an
empowering methodology which allows the personal story through the use of pronoun “I”
(Dyson, 2007).
