To What Extent Can Non-Native Speaker Teachers Teach Speaking Successfully in Foreign Language Learning Context?
Abstract
In this essay, non-native speaker teachers teaching speaking under the foreign language learning context would be analyzed. Instead of simply regarding native speaker teachers as the absolute priority in teaching speaking, non-native speaker teachers could also effectively impart speaking skills to students with their bilingual proficiency, second language learning experience and direct access to the cultural context of their students. After further studies, the unique competence of non-native speaker teachers would be revealed through this essay.References
