Question
Explain the disadvantages of native speakers as language teachers.
Answer
Many school systems prefer to hire native speakers (NSs) as language teachers because of their authentic relationship to the target language and culture, but native speakers don’t necessarily know the home culture of their students nor the intellectual tradition of their school system. NSs represent an attractive exotic other but, as research has shown, they cannot act as models for learners who by definition will not become native speakers. Non-native language teachers have the advantage of having learned the language the way their students do
