A number of modern Islamic Boarding Schools (IBS) have long implemented a unique English Language Teaching (ELT) strategy in improving their students’ English-speaking skills. In IBS, for example, head of language department requires the students to communicate in English in daily activities, and punishment is imposed to those who do not speak English. However, there was no specifically academic term used to describe such strategy, nor was there a study to investigate the effectiveness of the strategy. This essay investigates what IBS-applied ELT strategy is, and to what extent it is effective in improving speaking skills of the students. It is found that IBS has made use of a behaviour modification as ELT strategy. The behaviour modification is able to encourage students to communicate in English in their daily activities. It also leads students to acquire accuracy, complexity and fluency in speaking.

This paper explores the roles of Non-Native English Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesia. As many English language learners idolize Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) to be a good teacher of English that leads students to the success with their learning, some research show that the success in language teaching and learning is not merely determined by the fluency which native speakers possess. There are a number of factors that should be taken into account to make language teaching and learning successful such as the nature of learners, social context, and cultural background of the learners. These features are, for the most part, owned by NNESTs and thus they potentially make more successful English language teaching and learning than NESTs.

Special Case

Despite an increasing interest in the preparation of Nonnative English-speaking (NNES) teachers in English Language Teaching (ELT), a knowledge base for NNES teachers has yet to be articulated. This article takes the position that the ELT field should take into account and address the preparation of NNES teachers systematically. This article conceptualizes a model of teacher knowledge for NNES teachers. NNES teachers are a special case because issues such as language, self-perceptions, and identity play a key role in their preparation and should be connected to their knowledge base.

<p><em>This contribution examines the pro and cons on the English language teaching practice in a non-English speaking country, Congo. It appears that English language is solely taught for examination purposes what is best summarized in terms of eye to read, think to write when the mouth remains shut</em>.<em> Oral communication is in a poor relation in language teaching and learning in Congo. One of the reasons is the inefficiency of the course of English phonetics and phonology at the Teachers Training College coupled with the lack of English linguistic background to prospective teachers.</em><em></em></p>

Cross Cultural Analysis

This paper reflects on the need of students of English language to experience 'English-speaking culture'.  Due to the scarcity of natural contexts to communicate in English in West Sumatra it falls to English teachers to provide both English-speaking context and ongoing cross cultural analysis.  Some ways teachers across the curriculum can provide a context of English-speaking culture and implement cross cultural analysis while teaching are discussed.  The 'onion' model of culture is presented to show that culture is not only 'what' but also 'how' and 'why'.  Examples are given of how culture can be explicitly and implicitly taught. Key words/phrases: culture, context, English-speaking culture, cross cultural analysis
