Native Teacher's Value in Learner's Perception &; Motivation to Learn

This work is a case study about native speaker teacher's value in relation to students' perception and motivation to learn. Based on the research that the author had done, it can be concluded that a native speaker teacher has less value than local teachers because the students still preferred to be taught by their local teacher than by native teacher. Because the students feel that the local teacher can create more fun and friendly atmosphere in the classroom, which can increase the students' motivation. Therefore, the local teacher still acts as the most important part for the students' motivation in learning English.
