英本主义对英语培训机构中学生和母语非英文的英语教师的影响

The issue of native speakerism has been a serious phenomenon throughout the world and has caused severe influences in the field of English Language Teaching. However, few studies have covered its influence on the students’ perceptions and non-native English-speaking teachers. The literature suggests that native-speakerism might cause students’ native speaker bias and undermine the self-esteem and career development of non-native speaker teachers, whereas whether these theories could still fit in the context of Chinese English education environment is still unclear. Therefore, the objective of this research is to explore the influence of native-speakerism on the students and non-native teachers in two famous English Tutoring & Prep Institutions in China. This research employed a mixture of quantitative and qualitative method paradigm. The results manifest that due to native speakerism, Chinese students still show a sign of native-speaker bias, whereas the non-native English teachers in China do not suffer too many negative influences as expected.
