The present autoethnographic research was carried out in order to connect my personal experience into the Language Teaching profession. This paper addresses the description of a foreign language teaching situation, and it focuses on exploring the way that teachers live the disengagement of their learners during class sessions. The main aim is to achieve a cultural understanding. It is not just focused on myself, as an isolate case, but through an autoethnographic study, I invite the language teaching community to identify these conflicts on themselves and to think about it. In order to fulfil the objective of this research, I began with a personal reflection about the identified confrontation of new facts and past experiences. Some classes were video-recorded in order to observe the context of interaction and to be able to identify whether there were some behavioral patterns which were conditioning the lack of students’ engagement. Finally, a short questionnaire was applied to the teacher but also to the learners in order to be able to know what the other members had experienced during the term.”pdfspaHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTASistemas de enseñanzaMotivación en la educaciónMaestros de inglés--CapacitaciónAdquisición de segunda lenguaSociología de la educaciónTesis de maestríaRelaciones maestro-estudianteopenAccess
