Abstract
Native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) have played an important role in China s foreign language teaching. Every university in China now has native English teachers teaching various English courses to students of different levels. There are, however, few systematic studies on the differences between Non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs) and NESTs in China. This paper tries to identify the differences between these two groups of teachers in terms of attitude, means of instruction and teaching results as perceived by the students.
