In Thailand, where students encounter both Native EnglishSpeaking Teachers (NESTs) and Non-Native English Speaking Teachers (NNESTs)--with a significant portion of NNESTs being Thai and Filipino--a gap exists in understanding how Thai students interpret the terms Native English Speakers (NESs) and NESTs. This study aimed to explore this…

Literacy and mathematics have been shown to be related to each other across languages, ages, and levels of proficiency (e.g., [5, 11, 6, 19, 29, 35, 39, 43, 46, 49, 53, 57]). More specifically, math instruction is further complicated and becomes more difficult when occurring in a non-native language of instruction (e.g., [2, 8, 16, 18, 20, 31, 41,…
