Despite unsubstantiated claims of best practice, the division of
language-teaching professionals on the basis of their
categorization as 'native-speakers' or 'non-native speakers'
continues to cascade throughout the academic literature. It has
become normative, under the rhetorical guise of acting to correct
prejudice and/or discrimination, to see native-speakerism as having
a single beneficiary - the 'native-speaker' - and a single victim -
the 'non-native' speaker. However, this unidirectional perspective
fails to deal with the more veiled systems through which those
labeled as native-speakers and non-native speakers are both cast as
casualties of this questionable bifurcation. This volume documents
such complexities and aims to fill the void currently observable
within mainstream academic literature in the teaching of both
English, and Japanese, foreign language education. By identifying
how the construct of Japanese native-speaker mirrors that of the
'native-speaker' of English, the volume presents a revealing
insight into language teaching in Japan. Further, taking a
problem-solving approach, this volume explores possible grounds on
which language teachers could be employed if native-speakerism is
rejected according to experts in the fields of intercultural
communicative competence, English as a Lingua Franca and World
Englishes, all of which aim to replace the 'native-speaker' model
with something new.
