Abstract :

This paper presents the findings of native and non-native teachers' classroom ideologies and teaching strategy. This study explores the teachers' ideologies to their actual implementation in classroom. It particularly focuses on the teachers’ teaching styles; it investigates if the two types of teachers pursue different teaching styles as postulated in general. The findings of this study reveals that both native and non-native teachers have different classroom ideologies pertaining to teaching styles in classroom, however in actual implementation these teachers do not practice what they believe. Several factors such as the teachers' training and background influence the way they implement their classroom ideologies through questioning strategy.
