Abstract
This autoethnography explores the connection between the author's identity development and intercultural competence during his past four years of education in Australia. Drawing on the author's experiences as an international student in Australia and a teacher of English from Vietnam, the author uses sociocultural and self-determination theories to analyse how intercultural experiences have shaped his identity and teaching approaches. Self-interviews, reflective notes, and photo analysis as artefacts were utilised to capture and interpret the complexities of those experiences. The research uncovers two primary themes. The first theme reflects on the author's journey of cultivating different cultural identities through his lived experiences in a multicultural Australian context. The second theme explores how the author integrated insights from dynamic intercultural experiences into his teaching approaches. The author's four-year journey, as such, underscores the critical role of cultural sensitivity, adaptability, and the integration of diverse cultural perspectives in supporting more inclusive educational environments.
