Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper will describe the issues that arise when teaching English to a multicultural group where both learners and teachers are non-native speakers of English. The study looks at two batches of fellows. First, it will discuss the issues that usually come up for teachers who are non-native speakers of English, some of which may or may not be applicable to the current situation. From these, the relevant ones will be discussed in more detail, punctuated with examples from the faculty's experiences. Then it will go into the areas of concern regarding teaching a multicultural group which is composed of at least three countries. Among the topics are: the burden on the teacher to adjust to a variety of cultures and English levels, the teaching methodology which may be quite different from the one that each nationality is used to, and the complexities of the socio-cultural relationships of the students within the classroom setting. Finally, it will focus on the particular points pertaining to the advantages and disadvantages of being a Non-Native English Speaking student in a multicultural setting. The objective of this paper is to show that there are more advantages to learning English in a multicultural setting than in a setting where all the learners are from the same culture and share the same language.
