This document discusses research on non-native English speaking (NNES) teachers in K-12 education. It notes that most previous research has focused on tertiary education, but NNES teachers make up a large portion of the K-12 teaching force. It then highlights specific issues for NNES English teachers in Hong Kong, including benchmark tests and perceptions of declining English standards. The document calls for more localized research on the experiences and practices of NNES K-12 teachers.
