The Non-Native Teacher
Peter Medgyes
Péter Medgyes’ voice was the first and one of the most prominent speaking out for many teachers whose first language is one other than English, whose own voices had been silenced after almost a century of systematically being considered failed native speakers, deficient communicators and second-best teachers. This new, updated edition of a classic work uses the content of the earlier editions as a basis for:
• extending the native teacher/non-native teacher debate in terms of the past and the present
• encouraging readers and users to relate that debate to their own teaching situations
• providing new material and updated references for further reading and discussion
