First, it aims to discuss the concept of native-speakerism in English language teaching and how such an ideology is still manifested in the discriminatory practices between native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) and non-native English-speaking teachers (non-NESTs). Second, the study seeks to explore Moroccan EFL students’ (MEFLSs) attitudes towards NESTs and non-NESTs. Finally, the study endeavours to measure Moroccan EFL teachers’ (MEFLTs) self-perceptions regarding their own proficiency and their level of comfort teaching different skills, language components and levels, along with their beliefs about and perceptions of other non-NESTs. To this end, a total of 119 participants took part in the present study (76 MEFLSs and 43 MEFLTs). The findings of the study show that MEFLSs’ attitudes towards NESTs and non-NESTs are positive and MEFLTs’ self-perceptions about their own proficiency or level of comfort teaching different skills or levels a...

People oftentimes learn informally in the workplace without being aware of this complex process. However, though much learning is informal and tacit, there has been very little emprical research on teachers’ informal learning in the workplace. Much attention, on the other hand, has been, and is still, given to formal learning. The aim of this study is to shift researchers, educationalists and stakeholders’ attention from teachers’ formal and structured learning to teachers’ informal workplace learning. It should be acknowledged, however, that formal and informal learning should not be viewed as dichotomized and mutually exclusive. They should instead be viewed as a continuum, equally important and complementary. The present systematic review of the literature shows that teachers’ informal learning is inextricably linked to the workplace and that teachers’ informal learning outcom...

Furthermore, research that has been done on teachers’ informal learning in the workplace, though significantly limited (Fraser, 2010; Kwakman, 2003), is primarily qualitative with small sample sizes. With this being said, it should be noted that formal and informal learning should not be viewed as dichotomized and mutually exclusive. They should instead be viewed as a continuum, equally important and complementary. Recently, research on teachers’ informal learning in the workplace has been gaining more attention. This study, therefore, aims to contribute to this growing area of research by investigating the interrelation between contextual factors, personality traits and Moroccan EFL teachers’ informal workplace learning. A convenient sample of 125 Moroccan EFL teachers was recruited to complete a questionnaire that elicits information related to their workplace conditio...
