A small number of studies have addressed the debate comparing native speaker teachers
(NSTs) and non-native speaker teachers (NNSTs). However, they have tended to
focus on teachers’ rather than students’ opinions. Seventy-six undergraduates
completedquestionnaires seeking their views aboutNSTs and NNSTs on rating scales
relating to language skills, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, learning strategies,
culture andcivilisation,attitudes and assessment.The students were askedthese views
in relation to primary, secondary and tertiary education. They also recorded their
subject specialismand whether they hadever been taught by a NST. Their generalpreferencewas
for NSTs, or for a combination of NSTs andNNSTs. Previous experience of
NSTs had little effect on their judgements. Students’ subject specialism, perhaps
reflecting differences in orientations to learning English, had slightly more effect.
