Finally, the results show that students were neutral about their preferences for both NS and NNS instructors. Meanwhile, L2 have a valuable role in the tertiary university classroom yet it is

In the United States, we are striving for equal education every day. In the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education court case, the Federal District court decided that segregating schools was harmful and detrimental to the lives of African Americans. The reason that schools could be segregated was the buildings, transportation, curricula, and teachers, of white and African American schools were similar. Linda Brown and her sister appealed their case to the United States Supreme Court in 1950.

In Australia, CLT is a preferred approach to be adopted for second language teaching (Fernandez, 2008). Therefore, the pedagogy of CLT incorporating an array of supportive teaching strategies will be implemented in my LOTE teaching to ensure that all L2 learners are engaged, challenged and learning successfully.
