Non-native English-speaking English language teachers: History and research
Although the majority of English language teachers worldwide are non-native English speakers, no research was conducted on these teachers until recently. This article compiles, classifies, and examines research conducted in the last two decades on this topic, placing a special emphasis on World Englishes concerns, methods of investigation, and areas in need of further attention.
The course will provide students with a sufficient level of fluency and communicative proficiency in English to enable them to successfully pursue technical or professional training in schools conducted by the Department of Defense.

Much of our knowledge about bullying behaviors comes from research conducted over the past several decades in Europe, Australia, and Canada.

This book seeks to fill this void by forwarding research on bullying across contexts conducted with American participants. This book is an exciting compilation of research on bullying in school-aged youth conducted across the United States by a representative group of researchers, including developmental, social, counseling, school, and clinical psychologists.
