Abstract

There is an open debate whether native speaker teachers or non native speakers teach better. There are complex explanations behind this debate. However, much current studies indicate that both have advantages in their own ways. It is indeed unnecessary to draw a demarcation line between NESTs and NNESTs in the TESOL field (Phothongsunan & Suwanarak 2008) as different varieties of English are getting more recognised (Kachru and Nelson, cited in Liu 1999; Kachru, 2005; Braine, 2010). In this paper, I will discuss the advantages of NNESTs and NESTs professional, followed by the suggestions for NNEST. Prior to this, I elaborate my teaching context in which I try to engage my own experience as both students and NNESTs in each discussion as a reflection
