الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aimed at investigating the attitudes of Jordanian graduate students and teachers towards native and non-native English language teachers.

It also aimed at finding out the reasons why Jordanian graduate students have such attitudes.

The study raised these three questions.

To achieve the aims of the study, the researcher used two instruments; a students’ questionnaire and semi-structured interview questions.

A questionnaire was distributed to 100 participants.

However, only 93 questionnaires were filled out and returned.

Another convenience sample was used in the Semi-structured Interviews.

It consisted of five teachers of English who agreed to participate in the study.

The interview questions aimed at exploring the teachers’ attitudes towards the advantages and disadvantages of both native and non-native English language teachers.

They answered four questions about their attitudes towards native and non-native English language teachers.

Results of the study revealed that students believed that both native and non-native English language teachers had their advantages and disadvantages.

Native English language teachers were preferred for teaching pronunciation, oral skills and culture but they were not better in understanding students’ needs and difficulties and less sensitive to students’ culture.

Students also felt that native English language teachers cannot use L1 of the students for translation.

As for non-native English language teachers, they were preferred by Jordanian graduate students in teaching grammar and writing skills.

Knowing L1 of the students makes them more empathetic as they can use translation.

However, the participants thought they do not concentrate on oral skills and do not speak English fluently and can’t give enough information about the culture of English-speaking countries.
