Chapter 15. Collaboration between NESTs and NNESTs
-
Luciana C. de Oliveira
Abstract
In multilingual contexts, most educators recognize the benefits of working with other colleagues, but many may not be aware of the numerous advantages that collaboration between native and non-native-English-speaking teachers (NESTs and NNESTs). In this chapter, we explore and complicate the labels native and non-native, and consider the ways in which collaborations between Native English Speakers (NESs) and Non-native English Speakers (NNESs) can be configured through relationship or context-dependent models. Using examples from various aspects of their own practice, the authors discuss their teacher education experiences in China, Indonesia, Brazil, and the United States and how engagement with NES-NNES issues have helped them become better teacher educators. The chapter concludes with recommendations for how others can establish and maintain lasting collaborative relationships in their profession as well as identifying areas for future research related to NNEST and NEST collaboration.
