NATIVE OR NON-NATIVE TEACHERS: A STUDY ON TERTIARY TEACHERS BELIEFS IN INDONESIA
No full textELT professionals and scholars have voiced differing opinions on issues related to nativeness. Given the lack of empirical studies on this topic, the present study aims to document perceptions of non-native teachers on the issues of nativeness. The participants of the study were drawn from one hundred English teachers taught at tertiary level in Indonesia. The study found that the teachers beliefs about the issue of nativeness varied considerably depending on the language skill concerned. However, most respondents agreed that nativeness should not be the determining factor of what constitute a good teacher of English, as educational background and teaching skills should be taken into account. This study learns that the role of non-native English-speaking teachers needs to be further explored and socialized particularly in Indonesia where such issues are rarely addressed
AUTONOMOUS LEARNING IN ELLE: CYBERNAUTICAL APPROACH AS THE VIADUCT TO L2 ACQUISITION
Get PDFRecent researches on cognitive methods show that institutionalized language learning is a constant source of stress, and a psychological obstacle leading to discomfort and insecurity. In the ELLE (Electronic Language Learning Environment) of the current times cybernautical approach opens attractive horizons by relaxing and empowering the learner, through its emphasis on communication, and by increasing interaction between the learner and the 'teacherfacilitator.
This paper shows how the cybernautical approachfosters L2 acquisition by valorizing 'meaning' and 'content' over 'form' and 'competence in grammatical structures.' The attempt in the paper is to analyze the essential ingredients of the cybernautical approach and explore the practical content of the method in the context of the Sultanate of Oman.
The focus of the presentation is on the (re)defining of the learning space-the classroomwhich has today become a major constraint owing to its spatial (fixed location) and temporal (fIXed class timetable) inflexibility
