초록
This study investigated preferences of the Korean university students toward native/nonnative English speaking teachers in order to draw more reasonable generalizations. To do this, three research questions were addressed: (1) What are the university students' preferences toward native English speaking teachers? (2) From the perspectives of the students, what are the specific strengths and weaknesses of native/nonnative English teachers? and (3) What are the implications of these perceptions for learning? The participants were 177 students from a national university in a metropolitan city. The results indicated no overall preferences for native English speaking teachers over nonnative English speaking teachers. However, the students showed a preference for native English speaking teachers in teaching specific areas, such as pronunciation, culture, and communication. The students in this study considered that a combination of native English speaking teachers and nonnative English speaking teachers is appropriate. There was no significant gender or student year difference in Korean university students' preferences toward native/nonnative English speaking teachers. The results from the present study suggest more comprehensive considerations when taking teacher choice and preferences into account for Korean university students.
Abstract
This study investigated preferences of the Korean university students toward native/nonnative English speaking teachers in order to draw more reasonable generalizations.

The participants were 177 students from a national university in a metropolitan city. The results indicated no overall preferences for native English speaking teachers over nonnative English speaking teachers. However, the students showed a preference for native English speaking teachers in teaching specific areas, such as pronunciation, culture, and communication. The students in this study considered that a combination of native English speaking teachers and nonnative English speaking teachers is appropriate. There was no significant gender or student year difference in Korean university students' preferences toward native/nonnative English speaking teachers. The results from the present study suggest more comprehensive considerations when taking teacher choice and preferences into account for Korean university students.
