Isi artikel

Non-native teachers of English invariably feel unsafe about using the language they have to teach. To offset this sense of inherent uncertainty, they seek refuge in adopting either a deeply pessimistic or an aggressive attitude to ELT. The pessimistic type of teacher is more common, and the author points out that such teachers are obsessed with grammar, while taking little heed of pronunciation and lexis, and almost none of linguistic appropriateness. Instead of insisting on mistaken beliefs, the author argues, non-native speaking teachers should openly acknowledge that they are students of English no less than the students they are teaching. With their conscience soothed, they will now be able to take a more confident stance in the classroom.
