This paper presents the results of a series of oral interviews with practicum supervisors in MA TESOL programs, regarding their views on the characteristics and the challenges experienced by non-native teachers in training while they were doing their practice teaching. Practicum supervisors constitute a group of professionals with a unique and privileged perspective onto the classroom performance of both native and non-native student teachers, and through these interviews they can express their concerns and appreciations of non-native student teachers in North-American TESOL programs.
