Abstrakt: Students showcase difficulty in their writing skills due to the barriers in applying the strategies of the English language. Teachers thereby are expected to cultivate the students' writing capabilities using effective teaching strategies in English writing. Grounding on the concept of constructivism, teachers' conceptualization of strategies paves way for a prolific English writing performance for the millennial learners. This study aimed to explore how public school teachers in the Philippines conceptualize a successful English writing instruction for the students. The research investigated the conceptualization of the teaching strategies in the writing instruction of the seven best performing Senior High English teachers using a qualitative case study research. The seven teachers were purposively selected for the interview as their school supervisors' recommended them based on their outstanding teaching performance results. In the conceptualization of their teaching strategies, the analysis revealed that the teachers reflect on the principles in teaching English writing, competencies of the curriculum, varied learning styles, availability of pedagogical materials, student motivation, and assessment of student performance. The academic implication of the study suggests that teachers should undergo capability training to conceptualize strategies that follows the principles of instructional design to establish an evidence-based foundation of strategies specific to English writing instruction.
