This study was conducted to explore the journey of non-English major teachers teaching English subjects at Kinalangay Viejo Integrated School, District of Malinao. It focuses on the experiences that affect the teacher-participants’ personal and professional lives, the challenges they encounter, and the coping mechanisms they employ in teaching English. The participants were seven (7) non-English major teachers from the aforementioned school. A narrative inquiry research design was used, with participants responding to a researcher-made interview guide. Thematic analysis was employed to identify themes from the participants’ responses. The main findings revealed that the experiences affecting their personal lives were categorized into three themes: time-consuming preparation, lack of self-confidence, and positive life-changing experiences. Meanwhile, the experiences affecting their professional lives highlighted three additional themes: pressure to adapt to curriculum changes, development of creativity and resourcefulness, and enhancement of communication skills. These results indicate that while non-English major teachers face various challenges in both personal and professional aspects, they actively employ coping strategies to manage and adapt to the demands of teaching English.
