As the first single-authored volume on the topic since the birth of the nonnative speaker teachers in TESOL movement a decade ago, this book fills the need for a coherent account thattraces the origins and growth of the movementsummarizes the research that has been conductedhighlights the challenges faced by nonnative speaker teacherspromotes NNS teachers' professional growthNo discussion of World Englishes or the spread of English internationally is now complete without reference to the NNS movement.
