A CONCISE EXAMINATION OF THE ARTIFICIAL BATTLE BETWEEN NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE SPEAKER TEACHERS OF ENGLISH IN TURKEY

Year 2006, Volume: 14 Issue: 2, 371 - 376, 01.10.2006

Abstract

This paper serves as a theoretical commentary on the debate regarding native and non-native speaker teachers of English as it draws from the discussions in the literature, as well as from personal experience. The author, a nonnative English teacher himself, points out the possible pros and cons of being a native and non-native speaker teacher of English, and emphasizes the need for these two groups of teachers to embrace each other and to work in a partnership. The custom-made cold war with extreme competition between these groups is criticized for the benefit of language teaching workplaces where success is inevitable

TÜRKİYEDEKİ İNGİLİZCE KONUŞAN YERLİ VE YABANCI İNGİLİZCE ÖĞRETMENLERİ ARASINDAKİ SUNİ MÜCADELEYE YÖNELİK KISA BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Bu çalışma İngilizceyi ana dili olarak konuşan İngilizce öğretmenleri ile yabancı dil olarak konuşanlar arasında yaratılan kavramsal soğuk savaşın gereksizliğini, ve iyi bir dil eğitimcisi olmak için İngilizcenin ana dili olarak konuşulmasının zorunlu olmadığını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Ana dili İngilizce olanlar ile olmayanların dil öğretiminde doğal olarak bazı avantaj ve dezavantajlarının olduğu, fakat bu farklılıkların herhangi bir grubu doğuştan daha iyi ya da kötü öğretmen yapmayacağı vurgulanmaktadır. Ülkedeki dil eğitimin geleceği adına bu farklılıkların iki grup arasında işbirliği ortami oluşturulması için kullanılmasının önemi ve ana dili İngilizce olmayan İngilizce öğretmenlerinin eşitsizliklere maruz bırakılmamasının gerekliliği tartışılmaktadır.
