Ítem A comparison of native and non-native english speaker teachers about young language leaners' oral production assessment(Universidad Andrés Bello, 2013) Pantoja Silva, Mariela; Brauchy, José Gabriel; Facultad de Humanidades y EducaciónThe teaching of English language has become a major subject in today‟s society. With the rapid spread of English for commercial and economic purposes, English has turned into the language of the world. Teaching a foreign language supposes a series of challenges, being the assessment of oral language production a major and hard task for teachers. A question emerges when thinking about assessment in a foreign language, is this hard only for non native English speaker teachers? Thus, the main objective of this study is to find out whether there are differences or similarities between native English speaker teachers (NESTs) and non native English speaker teachers (NNESTs) when rating young learners‟ oral language production. Data for this study derived from a survey, observations and interviews to the two samples: a NNEST and a NEST at a private bilingual school. The findings suggest that there are some differences when these teachers rate students‟ oral performance although the differences are not significant.
