Non-Native English Speakers Should Teach English

By Mahkam Mostaghim

English is the language of the world and English teachers are in great demand. Parents want English teachers for their sons and daughters. Businesses want to break down language barriers between departments in different countries and between them and their clients.

In fact from 400 year go the importance of English langage appeared but not widespread,after the huge number of migrantsto USA and increasing number of colonies in South East Asia ,which we call them common wealth countries nowadys , Newsealand and Australia by mostly Britons,slightly English anugae become oe of the best and the top ones.But turning to international language and priority of useing it apprehend from mid 20 century.

English is now no longer spoken only by native speakers in countries like the USA and Great Britain. It is widespread among non-native speakers from a wide range of countries. Every country brings its own culture to a language, which means that the world is faced with the emergence of many different kinds of international English. This has caused a number of linguists to question the exclusive use of native-speaker pronunciation models in teaching English. They consider all different kinds of pronunciation models to be equally valid. As teachers, we need to identify which features of the English language are crucial for mutual understanding when one non-native speaker of English talks to another. One example would be pronunciation.

The place of natives and non-natives in teaching English has probably been an issue since English first started being taught internationally.
In the end, however, there are many qualified and educated English teachers in the world, both native and non-native. They have all contributed to our understanding of teaching the language by having their own unique perspective. For instance, the problems facing English learners can be more tangible for non-native teachers, because they used to make the same mistakes when they were learning the English language. Native English teachers bring other advantages to the table.

To sum up, I believe that natives and non-natives have an equal chance to become successful English teachers even though their backgrounds may not the same.
