%T STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS NATIVE-SPEAKERISM  IN ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CONTEXT
%U http://eprints.unpak.ac.id/9760/
%X English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Indonesia is yet orientated towards Nativespeakerism (Silalahi, 2022). Following Wang and Fang (2020), it is characterised  by the belief that first language (L1) users possess superior linguistic repertoire, and  thus are ideal for teaching English language. To rephrase, this stigma perceives  foreign language (LX) teachers as rather insufficient source of English, whereas  the exigency of exposure to authentic English is addressed (Fang, 2018; Sarie, 2018;  Alghazo & Zidan, 2019; Hutabarat, 2023). The present research was directed on the  basis of the question: “What are students’ perceptions towards Native-speakerism  in EFL context?” It utilised a qualitative approach, therefore enacted questionnaire  as well as Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for the data collection technique. This  research involved 11th grade students of SMAS Madania Bogor, considering that  they have attended English classes taught by L1 teacher over the years. The results  indicate that Native-speakerism is still prevalent, whereas their overall preferences  suggest otherwise in view of perceived issues with the experience of learning  English with both teachers regardless of their assigned speakerhood. Accordingly,  it is expected that the present research could optimise the contribution of both  teachers to assisting with students’ linguistic proficiency.
