Abstract
Abstract This paper aims to discuss how experienced English for Academic Purposes (EAP) teachers’ beliefs about academic writing have affected their instruction. The data comprised two semi-structured interviews conducted with three experienced Brazilian EAP teachers working at a large university language center. Their course programs were also collected. The analysis of the six interviews revealed that the instructors´ structuralist view of language affected the product-based teaching of writing. In order to develop themselves as EAP instructors, they have to face some challenges: this traditional view of language which hinders the work with the specificity of academic discourse and the structuration of sustainable EAP professional development.
