A small number of studies have addressed the debate comparing native speaker teachers (NSTs) and non-native speaker teachers (NNSTs). However, they have tended to focus on teachers’ rather than students’ opinions. Seventy-six undergraduates completedquestionnaires seeking their views aboutNSTs and NNSTs on rating scales relating to language skills, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, learning strategies, culture andcivilisation,attitudes and assessment.The students were askedthese views in relation to primary, secondary and tertiary education. They also recorded their subject specialismand whether they hadever been taught by a NST. Their generalpreferencewas for NSTs, or for a combination of NSTs andNNSTs. Previous experience of NSTs had little effect on their judgements. Students’ subject specialism, perhaps reflecting differences in orientations to learning English, had slightly more effect.
