| Details | I compared differences in JTE and NEST MOI beliefs relative to changes in their students’ L1 preferences. Students (N = 752) completed aLikert-scale questionnaire (Student Preferences for Instructional Language, or SPIL) 3 times in one year. Similarly, 13 JTEs and 17 NESTs completed SPIL for teachers. ANOVAs revealed significant group differences regarding grammar, review, and tests. JTE beliefs were more compatible with student preferences than were those of NESTs. JTEs and students tended to converge with
NESTs over time. Implications and suggestions for teaching and future research are described. |
