STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS THE QUALITIES OF NON
NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER TEACHERS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
TEACHING FIELD
Meike Dwi Setiawati Kuncoro
Abstract
Besides Native English Speaker Teachers (NESTs), Non-Native English Speaker Teachers
(NNESTs) are also believed to have the qualities needed for a successful teaching. In this
study, quantitative data from 100 students of English Teacher Education Program, Satya
Wacana Christian University, Salatiga were collected to investigate students‟ perceptions
towards the qualities of NNESTs in English Language Teaching (ELT) field. Fifty students in
their third year of university and another 50 from the fourth year were chosen as they were
believed to be more aware of the qualities of NNESTs with the length of time they have spent
being taught by NNESTs in that faculty. The questionnaires used are in form of close-ended
questionnaires. There are 16 items and categorized into six qualities of NNESTs according to
Medyges (1992). The results demonstrate how most of the students perceived NNESTs
positively because of their awareness of all the six qualities. The students especially have
positive perceptions towards NNESTs for their insights that they get from their own experience
as former English learners, their wide knowledge of internal mechanism of the language, and
their ability to make use of Indonesian (L1) to convey meaning in the classroom.
