The main purpose of this study is to explore the EFL learners' perspectives toward native and nonnative instructors in general English classes at college in Korea. The data were collected through survey and semistructured interview. The result of the present study indicated that the participants showed strong preferences toward native instructors of English in terms of learning pronunciation. But for pronunciation and culture, a majority of the participants reported that they could benefit from the nonnative instructor of English. One interesting finding was the importance of rapport between the teachers and learners as well as their teaching attitudes. (Hannam University)
