Motivated by the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) program's autobiography component, which asked newcomer learners to share their life stories, this study investigates the impact of practicing autobiographical writing on adult newcomer learners' English learning and their identities and self-reflections. Using a multi-staged action research design, this study involved a six-week autobiographical writing class I taught to eight volunteer learners, using lesson plans informed by interviews I had conducted with experienced English language instructors. This study includes the following data: instructor participant interviews (n=8), lesson plans and revision documents, learner pre- (n=8) and post-course interviews (n=4), learners' written work produced in the course, and my reflections as the researcher, designer of the curriculum, and instructor of the course. Qualitative analysis of the data and the case studies of the focal learners reveal that autobiographical writing can support adult newcomers' English learning and positively influence their identities and self-reflections. The findings in this dissertation call into question the LINC program's decision to eliminate autobiography as a required component since it can help amplify learner voices and support their self-expression. As{A0}such, this study advocates for complementary research to engage more participants and various stakeholders to further examine the impact of autobiographical writing on language learners.
