The article was part of the national research project “The profile of English teachers in universities in Ecuador. Interpretive study of their good practices and training, teachers who leave traces”. The objective was to interpret the profile of university English teachers in this country with a socio-historical perspective based on the narratives and experiences of teachers about their teacher training, belief systems, and axiological values. This was an exploratory, qualitative, interpretative, hermeneutical, and cross-sectional study, the population was chosen by applying surveys to students from six universities in Ecuador. Life stories were essential when it came to knowing essential aspects of the study subjects, which embroidered with the stories of their colleagues and students, all collected through semi-structured and in-depth interviews. Overall results of this study showed that teacher agency has built in these English teachers this sense of acting decisively and fruitfully to direct their professional growth and share their passion for teaching.
