ABSTRACT
Although NNS in the United States could be proud of what they have achieved in recent years, the discriminatory attitude towards NNS English teachersfrom employers, students, NS colleagues, and parents of students-does not appear to have changed much in the rest of the world. Based on my observations in Asia, where I have lived and taught English for more than 25 years, NNS teachers there face the highest levels of discrimination. This is a result of more and more NS being attracted to English teaching jobs in Asia as a result of the regions’ rising prosperity.
