Problem

By now, you probably know that you do not have to be bilingual or know your students' native languages to be employed as an ESL teacher in the United States, but you usually have to be certified as a teacher. If you studied a language in school, your teacher may have been a native speaker of that language or he/she may have learned the language in school and/or in a college or university.

If you go to Asia and want to teach English as a foreign language, the fact that you are a native speaker of English may allow you to be hired as an English teacher, even if you have never prepared to be a teacher at all, much less to be an EFL (English as a foreign language) teacher. As a native speaker of English, you may be given preference over a fluent English-speaking teacher from that country who has taken coursework and received certifications as a qualified professional teacher of English.

Use the prompt and questions to guide your original response.

Question 1. Discuss the positives and negatives of language teachers who are native speakers of the language they teach vs. fluent speakers of the language who are not native speakers.

Question 2. With which teachers will students make the most progress? Why?
