Negotiation of Status of Korean Nonnative-english-speaking Teachers: Experiences and Stories of Nonnative Educators Hohsung Choe

"Negotiation of Status of Korean Nonnative-English- Speaking Teachers" describes four Korean EFL teachers' struggles with their status in the Korean EFL context where the NS-NNS (native speaker- nonnative speaker) dichotomy emerges. The book is particularly concerned with: (1) how the native speaker model affected the teachers' rationale for definitions of native speakers of English, (2) how they observed the native speaker model in Korean ELT, and (3) how they negotiated their status vis-à-vis the native speaker model. This book discusses power relations between native speaker teachers and nonnative speaker teachers, and also addresses key issues of English as a world language.
