NON-NATIVE ENGLISH TEACHERS’ CHALLENGES IN ELT (ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING) PROFESSION

Nuse A Rahmati

Abstract


Abstract: For most English teachers in non-English speaking countries, especially who serve English as a foreign language are highly influenced by some beliefs such as the monolingual classroom environment, the native speaker teachers, the early start learning period, and the maximum exposure on English. While the teaching and learning process can be complicated, all those beliefs are misleading and weighing down non-native English teachers as well as students. Therefore, this paper will emphasise the alternative thought of ELT professions and consider the uniqueness features in EFL situations.
