Nonnative Speaker English Teachers

<p>According to current estimates about eighty percent of English teachers worldwide are nonnative speakers of the language. The nonnative speaker movement began a decade ago to counter the discrimination faced by these teachers and to champion their causes. As the first single-authored volume on the topic since the birth of the movement this book fills the need for a coherent account that:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>traces the origins and growth of the movement </li> <li>summarizes the research that has been conducted</li> <li>highlights the challenges faced by nonnative speaker teachers</li> <li>promotes NNS teachers’ professional growth.</li> </ul><p>No discussion of world Englishes or the spread of English internationally is now complete without reference to the NNS movement. This book celebrates its first decade and charts a direction for its growth and development. </p>
