“We’ve Got Some Non-natives Here Who You Wouldn’t Even Notice That They’re Non-natives”: Teachers’ Views on Speakerhood
Alya Alshammari
Abstract—In the field of Teaching English to Speakers of
Other Languages (TESOL), divisions and essentialization are
inherently embedded, calling for an argent need to address the
issues of inequity and favouritism on the basis of speakerhood
status in diverse teaching contexts. The persistent use of the
terms, native and non-native English-speaking teachers
(NESTs/NNESTs), has polarized our understanding of English
teachers without leaving a room for fluid identities and thus has
created an essentialized binaries of Self and Other in many
contexts. This world-wide view of English teachers, despite
receiving a huge amount of criticism, still exists. This paper will
allow English teachers from diverse socio-linguistic
backgrounds to address these issues and to reflect on their
experiences as English teachers in the Saudi context.
