Abstract:
For decades English has been considered a global language used as not only a native language, but as an official language, a second language in many countries and taught as a foreign language worldwide. Herein, English includes numerous varieties, regional and local dialects, professional speech, slangs, jargons etc. The variety of English is an important feature for learners of EFL, especially for future teachers of English. The constant exposure to different types of English through television, movies, online content etc. might hinder the fluency of EFL learners. Therefore, EFL teachers need to help their students and prevent any ambiguities due to the differences between American and British English. In this research, we have analysed the preference of students between British English and American English vocabulary. The analysis includes 60 first year students of English language and literature from the University “Goce Delcev” in North Macedonia and the South-West University in the Republic of Bulgaria. The results provide an insight on both the knowledge and linguistic preference of students between the two standardized English varieties and enable teachers, university professors and English coursebooks authors to determine their approach in class and help students master fluency.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of training and 'nativeness' on teacher's self-efficacy in teaching English as a second language. A questionnaire was used and administered to 281 foreign teachers in Nasseria, Iraq. The teacher’s sense of efficacy scale (TSES) was employed to measure a teacher's self-efficacy. Using MANOVA, we tested the impact of teachers’ training and 'nativeness' on a teacher’s self-efficacy. The analysis showed that trained teachers have higher self-efficacy than untrained teachers and further that professional development enhances self-efficacy. The study established that being a native speaker does not necessarily influence a teacher's self-efficacy and goes to support the hypothesis that target language proficiency should not be associated with being a language teacher. Ultimately, policymakers and educational administrators should concentrate on the professional development of language teachers and disband the native/non-native dichotomy.

Abstract:
The pedagogic competence of English teachers plays an important role in developing students' potential in mastering English. Students' perceptions are needed to find out how the teacher's pedagogic competence is in carrying out learning, students can be used as sources of information for reflection because students often interact directly with teachers in the learning process. In addition, the perception of the teacher itself is also needed to find out how his pedagogical competence as a teacher is in carrying out the learning process in order to achieve learning objectives. This study aims to analyze teacher and student perceptions of the pedagogical competence of English teachers and analyze differences in student and teacher perceptions related to pedagogical competence in teaching English. This research is a mixed method research. Data collection in this study used instruments in the form of questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that students' perceptions of their English teacher's pedagogic competence were categorized as positive because the average of all student responses was 4.3547. The English teacher's perception of his pedagogical competence is categorized as positive because the average of all teacher responses is 4.4222. Students and teachers have different perceptions about the teacher's pedagogic competence in teaching English, namely in terms of understanding the characteristics and potential of students.

Abstract:
This study examined the reflections of four Korean pre-service elementary teachers regarding their three-week overseas teaching practicum in the United States and how the overseas teaching practicum contributed to the development of their English teacher agency. The study was conducted as a case study, and the participants’ interview transcripts and final reports were collected as data for analysis. The collected data were explored using thematic analysis. Two major themes were found in this study. First, the pre-service teachers developed confident English teacher agency. Second, the pre-service teachers developed their teacher agency under full awareness of the different school cultures focusing on teacher assistance system and classroom environment management. This study highlights the teachers’ own decision to free themselves of the burden of the Teaching English in English (TEE) policy and the conservative Korean school culture. The study concludes with important implications and suggestions for future research on the pre-service elementary teachers’ overseas teaching practicum and the development of their English teacher agency.

Abstract:
Letterland is a child-friendly, multi-sensory system to teach English for children. It is highly a sophisticated teaching technique that combines stories with pictograms of letters. However, many teachers claimed to have difficulties in implementing it properly. This study aimed to investigate how teachers perceived, planned, implemented and assessed Letterland in teaching English vocabulary and analyzed the alignment and misalignment of teachers’ perception, plan, implementation and asessment of Letterland. A case study as a part of qualitative research design was employed in this study. By using purposeful sampling technique, two English teachers from Star Kiddy Preschool Semarang were involved. There were four instruments to collect the data, namely questionnaire, interview, document analysis and classroom observation. The findings of this study revealed that the English teachers had positive responses to questionnaire data and interview data dealing with Letterland and its implementation. In addition, Letterland designed well in lesson plan by teachers. Nevertheless, Letterland technique was conducted less succesfully in the classroom. This was due to several problems such as limited time, lack of preparation and teachers’ lack of creativity. Furthermore, as the implementation of teacher’s assessment, it has already met the standard of assessment on curriculum PAUD 2013. At last, the alignment of those teachers’ perception, plan and assessment toward Letterland were related to each other. Eventhough teacher’s positive perception did not align with their implementation in the classroom. That was because teachers missed some stages that should be added in the classroom.

Abstract:
Since learning English from Filipino Teachers of English (FTEs) has gained popularity, this research investigated learners’ perceptions of the difference between FTEs and native English teachers (NETs) by conducting semi-structured interviews at two English language schools that have both FTEs and NETs. Many learners felt that FTEs were better at explaining grammar explicitly and comprehensibly, while others said that they could better improve their listening and pronunciation skills with NETs since they spoke faster and with more phonological changes and colloquial expressions. However, some felt more comfortable talking to FTEs, since their English was easier to understand. Additionally, some believed that the pronunciation of NETs was better simply because they were native speakers. One of the schools had an NET who was trained in teaching how to articulate English phonemes. His students noted that NETs were better at teaching pronunciation. However, this view was not shared by learners from other schools. Some reported that FTEs were easier to befriend, though this was because the learners and their teachers belonged to similar age groups. Some mentioned that FTEs, who are also English learners, were more passionate about teaching, understanding, and helping learners, while only one student claimed that NTEs were more serious teachers. A few were more motivated by NETs solely because they admired native speakers. In summary, the participants of this study generally considered FTEs to be better, although some individual differences were observed. The results suggest the importance of teacher training and teachers’ experience in learning a second/foreign language.

Abstract:
China English has garnered much attention lately as a growing trend of English variation. The study aimed to explore the language attitudes of Chinese English teachers towards the variety of English in China and further probe into the cause of their attitudinal evaluations. A mixed research method (Questionnaire survey and focused interview) was employed. A total of 23 English teachers participated in the current study. The study revealed that nowadays, many teachers still view standard English, either British or American, as the pedagogical teaching model in China. Since only Chinese English users can use and understand China English, there are better fits for a teaching paradigm than China English. However, most participants claim that some idioms are most effectively expressed in Chinese, and there should be a variety of English in China. The current study's findings may be necessary for English instruction in situations where English varieties are emerging in the globalized world.

In addition, it investigated the impact of PRESET on the teachers’ English language teaching (ELT). It also examined the teachers’ perceptions of ELT as pre-service and novice English teachers. Fifty elementary English teachers participated in the survey. Among them, ten teachers participated in the focus group research, and their interviews, reflection journals, and lesson observations·analysis were collected and analyzed qualitatively. The results are as follows: Overall, the teachers perceived the PRESET curriculum, teaching practicum, extracurricular activities, and the preparation for the Teacher Employment Test positively in terms of their adaptability into real-life ELT. At the same time, some teachers did not find PRESET particularly useful for their current teaching, because it was not applicable to their real English classroom context. It is implied that PRESET should be improved in order to heighten the teachers’ development of English language and English instructional skills, leading to their learners’ English communicative competence. In particular, there is a need to develop the Teacher Employment Test to measure and support the teachers’ English teaching skills more effectively. Important implications regarding elementary English teacher education will be further discussed.

Abstract:
Zhuangang (literally means “transferring post”) English teachers, usually in the primary schools of rural areas in China, refer to the English teachers who used to teach school subjects other than English. Some of them may at the same time still teach other subjects in addition to English. They are a part of the solutions to the shortage of English teachers due to the policy of popularizing English learning in primary schools in China in 2001. Although they account for a large percentage of primary English teachers especially in rural areas in China, relatively little research has been conducted to investigate the status of their professional development and identity. This study is aimed at finding out whether there is a significant difference between zhuangang and non-zhuangang English teachers in their perceptions of teacher identity and if it is the case, what may be the contributing reasons. A questionnaire was allocated and a significant difference (p=0.005) was observed between zhuangang and non-zhuangang English teachers in their perceptions of teacher identity. Implications for enhancing their teacher identity and professional development are also discussed.

Abstract:
The article is a theoretical study of the issue of non-native English speakers and, in particular, nonnative English teachers’ accent peculiarities and whether these can be an obstacle for employing the latter as teachers of EFL (English as a Foreign Language taught in non-English-speaking countries) or ESL (English as a Second Language taught in English-speaking countries). In the paper, an attempt is made to prove that, under certain conditions, such accent peculiarities can be considered not as qualified non-native English teachers’ shortcomings but as an asset of a kind. In that respect, the notion of global English accents is introduced, which are considered as normative accents for English as an international, or rather global/ planetary, language of international/intercultural communication taught to all the learners of EFL and ESL. It is claimed that special measures should be taken for the native and non-native speakers of English to become accustomed and adapted to hearing such diverse accents quite frequently even in their home countries. Both the native and non-native English speakers the world over need to be taught and get accustomed to perceive the global English accents as something totally normal and acceptable as long as they do not make communication in English incomprehensible or comprehensible with difficulty. The advantages of non-English teachers with their accent peculiarities are discussed when teaching English not only to EFL but ESL students as well, and it is shown that they can be a great help in inuring both nonnative and native speakers of English to hearing the variety of global English accents. It is indicated that relevant training and mutual cooperation of both non-native and native teachers of English is required for achieving this goal.

Abstract:
This was a qualitative study carried out in the context of 2013 National Teacher Training Program for Junior High School English Teachers in Chongqing China, intending to reveal the impact of the program on four in-service English teachers’ beliefs about self (i. e., about English teachers). Rich data were collected throughout the process of training which lasted for 100 days, including semi-structured interviews, teachers’ class analysis reports, professional development plans, periodic summaries and so on. The findings were interpreted with the help of the classification framework of teacher belief change proposed by Cabaroglu and Roberts, which showed that the impact of the program on these four in-service English teachers’ beliefs about English teachers’ roles, excellent English teachers and English teachers’ professional development was considerable, however, the degree, the nature and the sources of the impact varied across individual teachers.

Abstract:
This study aimed to explore elementary teachers’ experiences and perceptions of English in-service teacher education and English language teaching. Fifty elementary English teachers took part in the survey. Of these, ten teachers were involved in the focus group research. Their interviews, reflection journals, and lesson observations and analyses were collected. Data were analyzed through a mixed-method approach, primarily qualitative with quantitative methods as needed. The results are as follows: First, novice teachers found that the provision of English courses in novice teacher training was insufficient, but they felt in-service teacher training, graduate programs, teacher learning communities, and mentoring helped improve their teaching abilities. Second, when teaching, novice teachers in the focus group concentrated on phonics and basic language skills and activity- and learner-centered instruction, and they developed effective materials in their English classes. They experienced difficulties teaching English in English and teaching students at different levels. However, they made progress through various trials and errors. Third, for the professional development of novice English teachers, suggestions were made in the areas of teacher education programs, teacher learning communities, schools and administrations, and policies on teachers and teacher education, as well as the novice teachers’ efforts. Significant implications concerning novice English teacher education will be explored in greater detail.

Abstract:
To be certified as professional English teachers, Indonesian teachers must complete the teacher profession education program (TPEP) offered by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia. Due to a lack of discussion and research on the motivation of inservice English teachers participating in the TPEP, this study explored the TPEP-related motivation of in-service English teachers. There were 80 inservice English teachers who joined the TPEP at a reputable private university in Indonesia participated in this mixed-method study. A survey questionnaire was distributed to the in-service teachers to know their motivation regarding the TPEP. The findings indicated that the majority of the in-service English teachers were highly motivated to participate in the TPEP. They also thought that TPEP was beneficial for teachers as it enhanced their knowledge and skills in teaching. Through the TPEP they learned to use innovative strategies to teach English such as project-based learning and problem-based learning. This implies that more in-service English teachers should be encouraged to join TPEP to develop their competencies.

Abstract:
Teacher’s motivation plays a key role in their career success. Recognising the factors which impede an ideal performance in teaching helps curriculum developers and instructional managers to resolve the issue as much as possible. This is not valueless to investigate and deploy possible solutions from which are being experienced in different types of instructional institutes. Therefore, to find the possible differences between the institution teachers and public-school teachers, the present study was initiated. It was also aimed to compare the motivation sources in their teaching context. So, English teachers’ motivation was measured regarding their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The results suggest that there is a significant difference between two types of teachers. In fact, teachers in private institutions have more motivation than public-school teachers. The findings of present study indicate that education system, school managers and supervisors need to motivate teachers towards teaching English. Keywords: Contextual sources of motivation, extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, teaching English, teachers’ motivation.

Lexical bundles are multi-word expressions that usually hang together. They are considered as a main factor in building fluency in academic discourse; helping to shape meanings and coherence in a text. The objectives of the study are to analyse non-native and native English teachers’ talk in order to explain (1) the use of structural and functional types of lexical bundles in non-native and native English teachers’ talk, (2) the similarities and differences of lexical bundles used in the talk, (3) the relation between structural and functional types of lexical bundles used in the talk. This study is a qualitative study and designed as a classroom discourse analysis. The data are non-native and native English teachers’ talk.

Similarly, both teachers performed lexical bundles in form of verb phrase and they mostly functioned as stance expressions. However, they performed them differently in terms of the sub-types. Non-native English teachers used more 1st/2nd person pronoun+VP fragments while native English teachers employed more WH-questions fragments. Functionally, non-native English teachers used lexical bundles more in showing ability while native English teachers performed them more in showing intention/prediction. Both teachers frequently employed lexical bundles with verb phrase structures that functioned as stance expressions. The use of lexical bundles is important for teachers to perform native-like fluency and improve their oral proficiency.

Teaching is an old trade though it is constantly refined through myriads of approaches, philosophies and techniques. Similarly, the task remains to be the same before the teachers of present times which is to blend teaching with innovation and harness its benefits to enhance learning and teaching experiences in the long run. To put that in perspective, modern English teachers are the ones who are multifaceted in terms of skillset and are ready to embrace novelties and the challenges that come along down the path.
