The Native Speaker English Teacher Myth | English Canada #17
In this episode, I explore whether native speakers are inherently better teachers than non-native speakers. I discuss the concept of "native speakerism" and share my experiences as an ESL instructor, emphasizing that effective teaching relies on qualifications and experience, not just native language. I highlight the unique advantages non-native speakers have in teaching and advocate for equitable recognition of their skills. I encourage listeners to evaluate teachers based on their abilities and qualifications rather than native speaker status.
