The study of Native and Non-Native Teacher Talk in the EFL Classroom delves into the linguistic characteristics of both native and non-native English teachers, utilizing corpus linguistics as a tool for comparison. While a wealth of audio and video materials is available, the EFL teacher often serves as the primary model of English exposure in secondary-level education. This book aims to establish a framework for the language proficiency required by English teachers, drawing from an empirical examination of language usage in the ELT classroom by both native and expert non-native users.

Presenting a corpus-informed treatment of the specific linguistic features employed by EFL teachers within the context of their primary teaching functions, this book:

• Directly relates to the teacher talk of secondary-level EFL teachers.
• Combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to data analysis.
• Examines pedagogical implications for ELT and proposes a flexible language development model based on evidence from the teacher training classroom.
• Offers a corpus-based repertoire of language that is relevant to native and non-native student-teachers, as well as practicing teachers.

By emphasizing the significance of language use in both learning and teaching, this book emerges as a valuable resource for advanced students and researchers in the fields of TESOL, classroom discourse, corpus linguistics, ELT, English for professional purposes, and teaching placement preparation.
