Benke and Medgyes (2006) examined learner perceptions in the differences between Native English Speaking Teacher and non-Native English Speaking Teacher. Their findings showed that these two teacher groups adopt distinctly different teaching attitudes and teaching methods. Compared with Native English Speaking Teacher, non-Native English Speaking Teacher have a more structured approach to teaching grammar and are good at addressing grammatical difficulties. Because of their familiarity with the local educational environment, they provide more exam preparation, supply the L1 equivalent of certain English words, and develop translation skills. However, the non-Native English Speaking Teacher tend to use too much L1 in the classroom. Their poor pronunciation and outdated language are often criticized. However,Native English Speaking Teacher are ideal models to imitate and are better able to elicit their learners to speak aloud. Learners stated that Native English Speaking Teacher are friendlier, and that their lessons are lively and colorful. However, lower-level learners had difficulty understanding their Native English Speaking Teacher. Without a shared L1,Native English Speaking Teacher tend to leave problems unexplained. A communication gap between Native English Speaking Teacher and their learners often occurs because of their different language and cultural backgrounds.
