Abstract

Students prefer learning English with native English teachers (NETs) compared to non-native English teachers (NNETs). Knowing how the NETs teach in the class, like their learning activities, would be very interesting. The purpose of this research is to find out the strategies used by NETs in teaching English to non-native learners. Five NETs were chosen based on the demographic information questionnaires and to be interviewed to describe the strategies that they used in teaching English, especially speaking skills, to non-native learners. This is the qualitative design with the case study tradition. Three themes were found as the result of this study: NETs’ strategies in teaching English (how to begin the class, the activities during the class, and how to end the class), media used in teaching English, and games used during teaching. The various fun activities provided by the NETs in teaching English could be useful information for other NETs, fresh graduate English teaching students, and English teachers who want to teach English in non-native English countries.
