Based on the findings of the study it was revealed that the most and least important factor for the students regarding the teachers talk are visual and extra-linguistic information the use of Persian language respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you hate teaching some aspects of grammar? Do you ever feel frustrated that your students just don’t get it? Well, in Grammar Nonsense, Andrew Walkley and Hugh Dellar argue that you shouldn’t really blame yourself. The fault lies largely with the way grammar rules and methods have been passed down through training and published material and become established as the way of doing things: a straightjacket that we need to escape from. Through an entertaining series of rants and meditations on all things grammatical, from the use of the word grammar to the horror of teaching verb patterns, they aim to pull apart rules which we give without thinking and to question approaches to practice that are seen as a must. Along the way, you’ll not only learn how published materials get written and about ideas such as the transformation fallacy and grammar olives, but you’ll also get plenty of practical suggestions as to what to do about all this nonsense.

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 excerpt: "The following thesis examines differences in perceptions of students and teachers about Non-Native English speaking teachers (NNEST). Its aim is to raise awareness among ESL/EFL professionals about the advantages that non-native English speaking teachers bring to the profession and to help non-native teachers like myself to overcome the barrier of self-criticism. In addition, outlining benefits and strengths of non-native speaking teachers can help to dispel the myth of superiority of native English-speaking teachers and make the students see the advantages and contributions that non-native teachers can bring to the classroom. In order to come to valid conclusions, the researcher carried out a survey with similar set of questions for both teachers and students using a popular website www.surveymonkey.com that allows users to create free online surveys for personal use as well as for business purposes. The research findings indicate tliat the students and teachers agree on advantages of having non-native English-speaking teachers; however, there exists mismatch in what both categories perceive as challenges. Students tend to have stereotypical ideas about NNESTs and teachers tend to over exaggerate their challenges. The full survey results, as well as the survey questions, are included in the appendix"--Document.

Download or read book The Impact of Native and Nonnative English Teachers written by Omar Al Noursi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of native and non-native English speaking teachers on students' learning English, as a foreign language has probably been an issue ever since English was taught internationally. The literature is rich and each group has its advocates and supporters. Some people believe that, for different reasons, only native English speaking teachers are able to teach English, while others think that bilingual teachers can be as effective as their colleagues, or even more. This book is response to this concern and aims at investigating the effect of Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) as well as Nonnative English Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) on students' achievement in speaking and writing skills and their attitudes towards English in the EFL classroom. This book is expected to fill a gap in the literature, which deals with the effective EFL teachers, and clarify the roles of both NESTs and NNESTs in language teaching. Secondly, it paves the way for more empirical research on the effectiveness of NNELTs, in the light of the findings of this research. Thirdly, the researcher hopes to provide policy makers and recruiters with some ideas about the best ways to hire EFL teachers
