Abstract

As English does not merely belong to its original speakers to mention Americans, British people, Canadians, Australians, or other first speakers of English but also to those speaking English as their second language such as Singaporeans, Malaysian, Indians and other second speakers of English which are now familiar with the terms ‘new varieties of English’, people’s perceptions and attitudes are ostensibly changing; from a way of thinking that speaking English must be like American English or British English to a new paradigm that speaking English should be intelligible and understandable. This study was aimed at delineating Indonesian people’s attitudes on the new paradigm of the English ownership at the current time.  This study applied the qualitative descriptive design. Three Indonesians with different backgrounds in terms of age generation, education, and residence were interviewed. The findings indicated that their attitudes towards English have positively changed towards the ownership of this global language. To conclude, English still holds its privilege as an International language, but the metaphor of who owns English is no longer a great issue.

Abstract

This paper discusses nonnative teachers of English who are often claimed to be less competent and qualified compared to their native counterparts. The aim of this paper is to elaborate that the identity of the teachers of English shall no longer be problematic in a matter of English Language teaching profession. The literature-based methodology was employed in this paper. The discussion is divided into two sections; the first part discusses the status and identity of nonnative English-speaking teachers and the second part delineates the actions for self-confidence of nonnative teachers of English as an international language. To conclude, Teaching English must emphasize on the teacher’s quality of the English teaching competence rather than the irrelevant nonnative identity. Furthermore, actions need to be executed by Nonnative English-speaking teachers (NNESTs) to enhance their performance in English language teaching in order to increase their self-confidence of their status in ELT and to be able to internationally compete.
