A unique issue in the context of English language teaching (ELT) is the distinction between native versus non-native English-speaking teachers. There have been numerous arguments against the native vs. non-native dichotomy in terms of ELT professionalism (Braine, 1999; Cook, 2002; Liu, 1999; Medgyes, 1994; Samimy& Brutt-Griffler, 1999; Tang & Absalom, 1998), and most of them are legitimate on any ground. Professionalism in ELT obviously cuts across the line of nativeness, i.e., both NETs (English teachers who are native speakers of English) and NNETs (English teachers who are non-native speakers of English) can both be effective English teachers. However, the myth of native speakers being better English teachers persists and the distinction between NETs and NNETs is perceived as important by many. This research aims to investigate how NETs and NNETs are perceived in terms of their professionalism. If there is a perceived distinction between them, is it reflected in their teaching practices and their perception of professionalism? Is there a common set of standards/criteria for professional expertise shared by both NETs and NNETs? If there is a perceived difference between NETs and NNETs, collaborative teaching has generally been perceived as the best partnership of the two groups of teachers. However, collaborative teaching in East Asian classrooms has faced considerable problems (Carless &Walker, 2005). Although the problems are complex, a lack of a common set of professional values, ethics, and standard practices in the ELT profession seems to lie at the core of the issue. True collaboration between NETs and NNETs will not take place unless a professional common ground is shared. A study was designed to address the above questions regarding the professionalism of elementary school NETs and NNETs in Taiwan and its implications on collaborative teaching. Two high-profiled NEST/NNEST team teaching English programs in Taiwan’s Yilan and Hsinchu City were studied through questionnaires and face-to-face interviews to investigate these ELT teachers’ perception of and standards for professionalism. The main purpose of this research is twofold: (1) To establish a common set of professional standards/criteria for professional expertise of ELT teachers in the EFL context of Taiwan (2) To inform curricular initiatives in designing effective and sustainable collaborative teaching English programs/models at the elementary school level in Taiwan.關聯 基礎研究
