Abstract: In the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, understanding the narratives of educators is crucial for enhancing language learning outcomes. This qualitative study, thus, explores the experiences of English language lecturers in promoting student engagement, motivation, and employability through their teaching practices. Using in-depth interviews with two experienced lecturers at a university in Gorontalo, Indonesia, and informed by a thematic analysis method, insights were gained into the strategies, beliefs, and challenges faced by educators in guiding language learners. The findings showed three key themes: (1) Supporting Student Engagement, (2) Enhancing Employability Skills, and (3) Cultivating Intrinsic Motivation. The findings also revealed the importance of interactive teaching methods, adaptive pedagogical strategies, and authentic learning experiences in promoting student success. While the study acknowledges its limitations, such as the small sample size and specific context, it offers valuable implications for future research and practices in the field of English language education.
