Employing and hiring Native Speaker Teachers (NST) of any particular language to teach the target language as
either as a second or foreign language is so common in many countries which value the target language as much as
their first language (L1). English is one of the languages which is taught as a second language (ESL) or a foreign
language (EFL) across the globe. With the growing demand of the importance of English language in various fields has
influenced the employment of the Native Speaker Teachers (NST) by some countries. In contrast, a fact has shown
that the majority of English teachers in the world are not native speakers of English and almost eighty percent of the
world’s English language teachers are Non-Native Speaker Teachers (NNST) (Matsuda & Matsuda, 2001). As such,
there are numerous studies have been conducted regarding the issues on Natives Speaker Teachers (NST) and NonNative
Speaker Teachers (NNST). The researchers have high interests to determine the issues on Natives Speaker
Teachers’ (NST) and Non-Native Speaker Teachers’ (NNST) teaching effectiveness, roles, students’ preferences as well
as teachers’ self-perception.This part will review sixteen articles on the issues of Natives Speaker Teachers (NST) and Non-Native Speaker
Teachers (NNST) across the world. This review will cover on the topics of students’ perception and attitudes and
Natives Speaker Teachers’ (NSTs) and Non-Native Speaker Teachers’ (NNST) attitude and self-perception.
