%X Self-study as a qualitative research methodology has gained importance in the last three decades in the western countries. Although it is a relatively new research methodology employing a wide range of qualitative methods, it has formalized its rules and ethics and is now accepted as a respectful teacher education research methodology. Self-study has its roots in reflective teaching and action research movements. However, putting the researcher¡¯s ¡°self¡± at the center of the research study in different contexts with rather new and creative methods separates it from other approaches. The teacher conducting self-study takes a dual role as the researcher and also the subject of the research being studied. In this study, the researcher also studied his ¡°self¡± from the perspectives of his students and his colleagues. The study aimed at revealing the strengths and weaknesses of the researcher as a teacher and to document whether the researcher teaches the way he preaches along with the opinions of the students towards his teaching practices. To this end, the researcher conducted a narrative self-study employing personal experience methods at the School of Foreign Languages, at Anadolu University in 2017-2018 spring term. The data analysis revealed some expected and surprising results regarding the ¡°self¡± and the ¡°teaching practices¡± of the researcher
