ENSAYOSP173982024-02-19T13:55:20Z The Importance of Nonnative English Teachers in Costa Rica Salazar Jiménez, Katherine A. Calderón Rodríguez, Raquel R. Costa Rica English teaching needs NESTs NNESTs skills strategies Costa Rica English teaching needs NESTs NNESTs skills strategies In Costa Rican society, learning English has become a valuable tool to increase job opportunities, which has caused more hiring of teachers of this language. However, some institutions manifest preferences toward native teachers being perceived as the ideal tutor with a target model for language learning. Unfortunately, this causes nonnative English teachers (NNESTs) to suffer from discrimination when they are compared to native English teachers (NESTs). This paper aims to raise awareness in society to consider teachers´ competences and qualities when choosing an English educator because teaching requires more than having a high level in the use of the language. In this literature review, it will be able to recognize the benefits of learning English from NNESTs. Additionally, the analysis of related research was used to exemplify some reasons to qualify NNESTs as educators with sufficient competencies to teach. The results from the literature review suggest that NNESTs are more aware of the students’ needs and the importance of providing feedback. Being in the same position as most of their learners allows them to previously recognize the difficulties when learning English. Sharing students’ cultural backgrounds permits NNESTs to teach and guide students regarding their functions as individuals in society Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica 2023-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion scientific papers artículos científicos application/pdf text/html application/xml application/epub+zip audio/mpeg https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ensayospedagogicos/article/view/17398 10.15359/rep.18-1.16 Ensayos Pedagógicos Journal; Vol. 18 No. 1 (2023): January-June; 363-379 Revista Ensayos Pedagógicos; Vol. 18 Núm. 1 (2023): Enero-junio; 363-379 2215-3330 1659-0104 eng https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ensayospedagogicos/article/view/17398/29224 https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ensayospedagogicos/article/view/17398/29225 https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ensayospedagogicos/article/view/17398/29597 https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ensayospedagogicos/article/view/17398/29226 https://www.revistas.una.ac.cr/index.php/ensayospedagogicos/article/view/17398/29227 Derechos de autor 2023 Revista Ensayos Pedagógicos |
