The paper centres on the AR’s reflective stage where three ESP teachers, employing collaborative autoethnography, discussed teaching practices, material adaptation challenges, and implemented changes via online journals and discussions. The study aims to assess the impact of AR participation on teachers’ genre pedagogy application and to understand its effects on their wellbeing. Findings suggest that reflective practices significantly increased teachers' genre pedagogy awareness and implementation, leading to a professional shift in the course. Additionally, reflections on teacher wellbeing revealed substantial stress due to large class sizes and diverse student needs, with individual teaching styles further affecting personal wellbeing and job satisfaction. The study highlights the importance of structured, reflective approaches in AR for enhancing teaching quality and teacher wellbeing.Peer Reviewed20252025-06-1820252025-07-29journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/439722https://dx.doi.org/10.17398/2340-2784.49.19reponame:UPCommons.
