Abstract
For well over a hundred years, teachers have been
leaving English-speaking contexts, such as the UK
and the USA, to teach English overseas. In a number
of countries, the attraction of having ‘native’ English
speaker teachers (from here, NESTs), either because
of the perceived benefit of their linguistic skills or
because of a lack of English teachers at home, has
resulted in the establishment of formal programmes
to recruit and sponsor NESTs (referred to in the study
as NEST schemes). Previous research has examined
individual schemes (for example, Shin, 2011) and
compared particular schemes (for example, Carless,
2006). However, to date, there has been no overview
of where the schemes are located, how they operate
or of the experiences of both NESTs and Local
English Teachers (from here LETs) taking part. What is
more, there is a lack of widely available resources to
support those considering or preparing for such
schemes, or those who have recently joined.
