Abstract
The current study attempts to investigate the students’ perception of teaching behaviors and skills of native English speaking teachers at a college level and, therefore, to seek a new way to better education of college English by recruiting qualified NESTs. Focus of the investigation is put on NESTs’ teaching methods, techniques of teaching four skills, giving fun and confidence, using materials, challenging beliefs, native English speaking teacher's nationality most favored by students, comparison of attitudes toward students between native and non-native speaking teachers, and students' preference to native and non-native speaking teachers. To answer these questions, a definition of native/non-native teacher is made by referring to previous research, and then viewpoints of English learners around the world are presented on the pros and cons of native teachers. A survey was carried out to get answer to the research questions through a questionnaire which was distributed to students belonging to the classes offered by native speaking professors. A total of 575 freshmen at a university who participated in the present research show satisfaction with their native professors’instruction and techniques, and positive views on their teaching of specific skills such as speaking, listening and culture of English speaking countries. Comparing natives to non-natives, students chose natives for their further English learning. Among English speaking countries, participants most favored teachers from USA and then in the sequence of UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
