Outline of Final Research Achievements

Native-speakerism is a language-based form of prejudice affecting language teachers.
(1)13 English teachers living in Japan reported experiences of “native-speakerism ”in different ways.(2)The Japanese original term of native-speaker and the loanword are used differently among Japanese language teachers. Being conscious of the superiority of native-speakers, they have been trying to accommodate needs of the learners.(3)If native-speakerism is rejected, on what grounds should the language teachers be employed? ICC, WE and ELF experts identified shifts needed in the educational activities of the foreign language teacher, and desirable characteristics of the foreign language teacher. The main outcome is a co-authored book with Routledge (Houghton, Rivers & Hashimoto, contracted in March 2015)
