Native-Speakerism in Japan

Intergroup Dynamics in Foreign Language Education

Herausgeber: Houghton, Stephanie Ann; Rivers, Damian J

The relative status of native and non-native speaker language teachers within educational institutions has long been an issue worldwide but until recently, the voices of teachers articulating their own concerns have been rare. This innovative volume explores language-based forms of prejudice against native-speaker teachers.
