Having taught ESL/EFL for seven years has led me to believe that non-native instructors can teach English effectively since we are ESL/EFL learners ourselves. We can relate to our students through our shared difficulties and insecurities. However, a number of us face the insecurity of not being "fluent enough" to teach a language other than our native tongue. In order to familiarize both myself and other nonnative instructors and around the world teacher trainees, I conducted a research on nonnativeness. This paper explores the background of nonnativeness through qualitative research and non-native English speaking teachers. Finally, I sought to ask the students about their reactions towards non-native English instructors.
