This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Cameroon to Turkey through Jordan, this short volume illuminates the discrepancy between stated language teaching norms and real-life language use in non-native settings.

Book Synopsis Non-Native Language Teachers by : Enric Llurda

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As non-natives are increasingly found teaching languages, particularly English, both in ESL and EFL contexts, the identification of their specific contributions and their main strengths has become more relevant than ever. This volume provides different approaches to the study of non-native teachers: NNS teachers as seen by students, teachers, graduate supervisors, and by themselves. It contributes seldom-explored perspectives, like classroom discourse analysis, and social-psychological framework to discuss conceptions of NNS teachers.
Book Synopsis Non-native Educators in English Language Teaching by : George Braine
Download or read book Non-native Educators in English Language Teaching written by George Braine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The place of native and non-native speakers in the role of English teachers has probably been an issue ever since English was taught internationally. Although ESL and EFL literature is awash, in fact dependent upon, the scrutiny of non-native learners, interest in non-native academics and teachers is fairly new. Until recently, the voices of non-native speakers articulating their own concerns have been even rarer. This book is a response to this notable vacuum in the ELT literature, providing a forum for language educators from diverse geographical origins and language backgrounds. In addition to presenting autobiographical narratives, these authors argue sociopolitical issues and discuss implications for teacher education, all relating to the theme of non-native educators in ETL. All of the authors are non-native speakers of English. Some are long established professionals, whereas others are more recent initiates to the field. All but one received part of the higher education in North America, and all except two of the chapters are at least partially contextualized in North America. Particularly relevant for non-native speakers who aspire to enter the profession, graduate students in TESOL programs, and teacher educators, the unique nature of this book's contributors and its contents will interest researchers and professionals in applied linguistics generally and in ELT, and all those who are concerned with the role of non-native speakers in English-language teaching.

Book Synopsis Native and Non-Native Teachers in English Language Classrooms by : Juan de Dios Martinez Agudo
Download or read book Native and Non-Native Teachers in English Language Classrooms written by Juan de Dios Martinez Agudo and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being highly debated in applied linguistics and L2 teaching literature, the controversial issue of (non)nativeness still remains unresolved. Contemporary critical research has questioned the theoretical foundations of the nativeness paradigm, which still exerts a strong influence in the language teaching profession. Written by well-known researchers and teacher educators from all over the world, both NSs and NNSs, the selected contributions of this volume cover a great variety of aspects related to the professional role and status of both NS and NNS teachers in terms of both perceived differences and professional concerns and challenges. The strongest aspects of this volume are the global perspectives and the implications for future research and teacher education. It is precisely this international perspective which makes this volume illustrative of different realities with a similar objective in mind: the improvement of second language teaching and teacher education. In today's world, being a NS or NNS should not really matter but rather teachers' professional competences. This publication thus provides a forum of reflection and discussion for all L2 educators who need to be aware of how much they might offer to their future students.

Book Synopsis Native and Non-Native Teacher Talk in the EFL Classroom by : Eric Nicaise
Download or read book Native and Non-Native Teacher Talk in the EFL Classroom written by Eric Nicaise and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native and Non-Native Teacher Talk in the EFL Classroom explores and compares the linguistic features of native and non-native English teacher talk with the aid of corpus linguistics. Setting aside the wide range of audio and video materials available, the EFL teacher is in many instances the main model of English to which students are exposed in secondary-level education. The basis of this book is to work towards a framework for the language that teachers of English need to be proficient in, based on an empirical study of language used in the ELT classroom by both native and expert non-native users. Presenting a corpus-informed treatment of the precise linguistic features used by EFL teachers within the framework of their most common teaching functions, this book: • Relates directly to the teacher talk of secondary-level EFL teachers; • Combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to data analysis; • Looks into pedagogical implications for ELT and proposes a flexible language development model based on evidence from the teacher training classroom; • Provides a corpus-based repertoire of language for the classroom which is of relevance to native and non-native student-teachers and practising teachers. Highlighting the need for much greater awareness of the impact of language use in both learning and teaching, this book is a major resource for advanced students and researchers of TESOL, classroom discourse, corpus linguistics, ELT, English for professional purposes, and teaching placement preparation.
Book Synopsis Rethinking TESOL in Diverse Global Settings by : Tim Marr
Download or read book Rethinking TESOL in Diverse Global Settings written by Tim Marr and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the BAAL Book Prize 2020 What do TESOL teachers actually teach? What do they know about language, about English and the ways it is used in the world? How do they view themselves and their work, and how are they viewed by others? How is TESOL perceived as a profession and as a discipline? How can teachers make the most of the available resources? Can global English really deliver what it seems to promise? These are some of the questions explored in Rethinking TESOL in Diverse Global Settings, a book which examines what we mean when we talk about English language teaching and what we understand the job of an English language teacher to be. Covering diverse teaching environments, from China to Latin America and the Middle East, and from elementary school to university, the authors take a critical look at TESOL by focusing on the actual substance of the subject, language, and attitudes towards it. Through concrete examples from language classrooms, in the form of vignettes and accounts from native speaker and non-native speaker teachers alike, they explore the experiences of teachers worldwide in relation to issues of identity and professionalism, nativeness and non-nativeness, and the pressures of dealing with the expectations with which English has become invested. While recognising the often precarious academic and institutional status of TESOL teachers, the book pulls no punches in challenging those teachers as a whole to become more ambitious in their aims, positioning themselves not as mere skills providers, but language experts, specialists in their subject, members of a legitimate academic discipline. Only then, the authors argue, will TESOL teachers and their work be taken seriously and their expertise recognised.

Book excerpt: This collection brings together insights from research and scholars’ practical experience on the role of language and language use in teacher practices at the university level in EMI contexts, offering global perspectives across diverse educational settings. The volume considers the language-related practices, processes and ways of thinking implemented in EMI contexts as teachers and students co-construct meaning through interaction while also situating these observations within the wider educational policies of institutions, societal norms and contextual pedagogies. The book highlights both the diversity and commonalities of the challenges and opportunities in enhancing student experience in different EMI contexts, drawing on international perspectives spanning South America, Europe and Asia. In so doing, the volume offers a comprehensive portrait of the current realities of the EMI experience at the university level, empowering stakeholders to critically reflect upon and adapt their classroom strategies to their own realities and chart new directions for research in the field. The book will be of particular interest to scholars interested in issues in English-medium instruction, applied linguistics, language policy and language education, as well as those currently teaching in EMI contexts.

Book Synopsis Language and Education in Multilingual Settings by : Bernard Spolsky
Download or read book Language and Education in Multilingual Settings written by Bernard Spolsky and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 1986 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difference between languages that children learn in the home (their mother tongues) and the languages valued by society and established as the medium of instruction in schools is an almost universal problem in educational systems. Proposals for mother tongue education, for bilingual programmes of various kinds, or for more effective teaching of literary or standard languages all depend on an understanding of the underlying problem of language education in multilingual settings. The writers of Language and Education in Multilingual Settings do not have a single view of the issues, for they are international in background and experience, and interdisciplinary in training and approach; moreover, as will be clear, they differ in political and philosophical beliefs, in scholarly rhetoric, in research paradigms and in personal circumstances. In this book, researchers from India, Yugoslavia, the USSR, the USA, New Zealand, Zambia, Denmark, Australia, and Israel discuss practice and theory in various parts of the world.

Book Synopsis A Manual of Strategies to Cope with Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety Among Non-native Teachers of English by : Alejandro Gabriel Victoria Rengifo
Download or read book A Manual of Strategies to Cope with Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety Among Non-native Teachers of English written by Alejandro Gabriel Victoria Rengifo and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign language teaching anxiety (FLTA) is an unknown concept for many foreign language teachers and language education programs. Language teachers are usually over preoccupied about students' negative feelings toward learning that they forget that they can experienced themselves anxiety. Research has shown that FLTA has a negative impact on teachers' language performance, on their practice and on students' achievement and behaviors. Equally, studies on the field have described language proficiency, cultural knowledge and personally traits as the main sources of anxiety in non-native teachers of English. This paper explores the notions of anxiety in language teaching and the theories associated to it. The final product of this project is a manual that integrally evaluates the levels of teaching anxiety and provides different strategies to assist Non-native Teachers of English to cope with Foreign Language Teaching Anxiety. This manual is suggested to be adopted in educational settings and teacher training programs to create awareness among educators and evidence the harmful effects of anxiety in English teaching.
Book Synopsis The Role of Context in Language Teachers’ Self Development and Motivation by : Amy S. Thompson
Download or read book The Role of Context in Language Teachers’ Self Development and Motivation written by Amy S. Thompson and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unpacks data from conversations with bi-/multilingual EFL teachers whose L1s are languages other than English and who are from understudied contexts – Argentina, Egypt, Estonia, Senegal, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam – to provide insights into the formation of ideal teacher selves. The author discusses the complexities surrounding the development of the teachers’ selves and motivation, as well as their intertwinement with the sociopolitical realities of their individual contexts. The work reveals how these realities, and the specific social interactions that occur therein, influence the language learning and teaching processes; it also challenges the notions of and the need for a native/non-native speaker dichotomy in the field. Expanding on Ushioda’s (2009) person-in-context approach and reflecting on the multilingual settings of the teachers, the integration of the context-specific politics of language learning and teaching is a fresh approach to work in motivation.
