随着英语作为一种国际语言的认可度越来越高，TESOL学科的基本前提（例如，语言的所有权、以母语为学习和教学的目标和能力模式、要教授的语言标准和语言多样性、单语/单文化教学方法）在过去几十年里经历了严重的挑战和重新概念化。这一趋势导致了TESOL领域对非英语母语者问题的前所未有的认识，但也意味着TESOL（NNEST）运动中出现了一系列关于非英语母语者的毫无根据的想法或错误信念。通过讨论和问题化这些普遍持有的神话和误解的NNEST运动，目前的文章旨在澄清一些重要的问题，并阐明了过去，现在和未来的运动。在全球动态的背景下，不断变化的时代，以及学科的重新配置的基本前提下，对所有参与TESOL的利益相关者来说都非常重要，他们渴望一个以民主，公正，公平，参与和专业为特征的专业环境。
Parallel to the growing recognition of English as an international language, the fundamental premises of the TESOL discipline (e.g., the ownership of the language, native speakers as a goal and model of competence for learning and teaching, linguistic standards and language variety/ies to be taught, monolingual/monocultural approach to teaching) has undergone a serious challenge and reconceptualization over the past several decades. While this trend resulted in an unprecedented recognition of the issues surrounding nonnative speakers in the field of TESOL, it also meant the emergence of a series of unfounded ideas or false beliefs about nonnative English speakers in the TESOL (NNEST) movement. By discussing and problematizing these commonly held myths and misconceptions about the NNEST movement, the current article aims to clarify a number of important issues and shed a light onto the past, present, and future of the movement. Having a solid grasp of the movement in the context of global dynamics, changing times, and reconfigured fundamental premises of the discipline has a paramount importance for all stakeholders involved in TESOL who long for a professional milieu characterized by democracy, justice, equity, participation, and professionalism.
