The study aimed to investigate how administrators of foreign language schools prioritize their criteria for recruiting English language instructors and specifically what importance they place on an instructor’s being a native English speaker. To that end, the participants were invited to consider not only Turkish teachers of English as the non-native group but also the foreign teachers coming from different nationalities whose native languages were not English. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire completed by the administrators of foreign language schools at three state and four foundation (non-profit) universities located in İstanbul, Turkey. Results of the study indicated that although there was a consensus on teaching demonstration, teaching experience and educational background as the most important criteria, different practices regarding recruitment of non-native English-speaking teachers were reported.
