“…Researchers have documented that issues of NNEST accents can limit job opportunities and career growth (Selvi, 2021;Breevaart et al, 2020;Von Esch et al, 2020). Other authors noted that profiling language teachers can lead to feelings of inferiority, lack of confidence, resulting in career shock (Petrovi c, 2022;Rahman and Yuzar, 2020;Chen et al, 2021). This can cause them to be overly self-critical, anxious, or hesitant in their communication or teaching practices (Adara, 2020;Mackenzie, 2021;Barrett et al, 2022).…”

This research paper explores how non-native English-speaking teachers can consider using their multilingualism and transnationalism as assets in creating competitive portfolios fit for the 21st century linguistic marketplace. This enhancement in the portfolio to attract credit as ‘investors of the self’ is an aspect of human capital that can be utilized by non-native English-speaking teachers to enhance their self-esteem. This, in turn, can encourage potential investors to view non-native English-speaking teachers as relevant players in a global landscape that appreciates linguistic diversity and pluralism, as well as transnational experience. This research was conducted by performing interviews with non-native English-speaking teachers and an analysis of website 2.0 sources, aiming to gain insights into the opinions of non-native English-speaking teachers regarding their human capital and how new approaches can aid their equity within the field of English language teaching. The results demonstrated a desire in teachers to utilize their inherent skillsets comprising multilingual and transnational capabilities.
