English

Japanese high-school and university students studying English as a foreign language (EFL) were investigated to find any differences in their views on their teachers between native and non-native speakers of English. A questionnaire survey was administered on 380 students (125 high-school and 255 university students in Japan), and among them, 201 students answered on native English speaking teachers and 173, on non-native teachers of English as a factor influencing their motivation to learn English. The study attempted to find the students' self-reported level of motivation and their perceived level of teachers' motivation to teach them English. It further investigated which one among four teacher-related factors; "personality", "teaching-related", "classroom behaviour" and "other factors", the students perceive most strongly affecting their motivation and if there are any significant differences in the students' perceptions of the four factors between native and non-native teachers of English. Independent sample t-test and Chi-square tests were used to analyse the collected data. The results showed some note-worthy differences in the students' views on teachers between native and non-native speakers of English
