English is a global language widespread all over the world. that's why many people from English-speaking countries go to non English-speaking Countries to teach English. Cheryl Wei-yu chen and Yuh-show Cheng reported that there is just little research about native English teachers teaching abroad experiences.So they decided to to do a research on this area.
According to the authors the number of people from English speaking countries going to non English-speaking countries to teach has increased a lot, and those people face many problems related their different background . They mention two researches who have coducted studies about this matter. the first one is Verity's (2000)who was a well established teacher in her home context which documented her sense of lost expertise as a novice teacher in Japanese context.The second one is Gingerich (2004) who studied three American teachers in Lithuania and developed a knowlege base for teachers who are native speakers of English and teaching in international settings.
Cheryl wei-You Chen and Yuh-Show Chen based their studies on a program in Hsinchu, a city of Taiwan, where foreing English teachers have been hired to practice team teaching with local Eglish teachers in all the public elementary shcools since 2001.They focus their studies on three South African teachers, and the challenge faced by them with cultural diferences.
