The Schizophrenic Teacher.
Medgyes, Peter
ELT Journal, v37 n1 p2-6 Jan 1983
To offset uncertainty about using the language they have to teach, nonnative teachers of English adopt either a deeply pessimistic or an aggressive attitude toward their work. The latter type is more common. These teachers would gain confidence by admitting that they are also students of the language. (Author/MSE)
