TEACHING TODAY Series Editor: Susan Holdén This methodology series combines sound theory with best practice. It provides teachers and teacher trainers with a stimulating rangé of titles designed to reflect the developing place of English as an international language within the global changes at the beginning of the third millennium. THE NON-NATIVE TEACHER This is a revised edition of the title first published in 1994, which has become a classic. The originál edition won First Prize for Methodology Books in the English Speaking Union's Duke of Edinburgh English Language Book Competition in 1995. This new edition adds an account of current classroom research to its discussion of the position of the non-native speaker of English in the dual roles of teacher and teacher-learner. Differences in teaching attitudes between native speaker teachers of English (NESTS) and non-native speaker teachers (non-NESTS) are examined, leading to a realistic assessment of their respective problems, strengths and weaknesses. The aim of the discussion is to help the non-NEST to become a better teacher. The author, who learned English in his own country from other non-NESTS, brings a deep personal knowledge, strong convictions and a sympathetic awareness of the problems facing language teachers of all kinds to the debate.
