This study employs a qualitative research design to explore the experiences and perspectives of two experienced English teachers who adapted their writing instruction methodologies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis, the research delves into the challenges and innovative strategies these educators implemented in online teaching environments. The teachers adapted by incorporating methods like journaling for self-expression, collaborative writing, the dialogic method, and environmental journalism to enhance motivation and engagement. The study highlights the importance of setting specific goals and purposes for writing tasks to improve student outcomes. Ethical considerations, including informed consent and data confidentiality, were meticulously followed. The findings underscore the need for continued exploration of innovative instructional approaches and collaboration among educators, policymakers, and communities to address educational disparities and enhance writing instruction in the post-pandemic era.
