È importante o professor de inglês falante não-nativo em Moçambique?

Abstract

With this paper we intend to address an issue related to the problem of language policies that is debated among language teachers and academics: the question of the value of the native-speaking English teacher and the non-native-speaking English teacher in Mozambique. With a greater educational focus, we seek to verify within the framework of linguistic awareness the attitudes of both teachers and students, with a greater focus on the former, about the value attributed to each language teacher. This work is divided into five chapters. Chapter I is the Introduction, where we delimit the topic, identify the problem, present the motivations and the importance of the work. Chapter II is the Bibliographical Review, in which we present and discuss the theoretical concepts of native and non-native teachers. Chapter III presents the general method used to collect the data and the questionnaire applied to the informants. Chapter IV presents the results. And finally, Chapter V, which refers to the conclusions where we analyze and comment on the main arguments of this work in the light of the problem presented.
