ADVANTAGES AND DISAGVANTAGES TO BE A NATIVE ENGLISH TEACHER OR NON-NATIVE TEACHER

Hi everybody:

My opinion about this topic is

There are some advantages and disagvantages to be a English teacher.
Some advantages are that a native teacher can teach the accent and pronunciation better than us, Moreover a native teacher can emphasis the speaking, practise the oral interaction between their pupils or between teacher and pupils. I think the goal of a native teacher is develop the speaking ability.
Other important point is that a native teacher can teach tht lifestyle, their english customs.

In the other hand, there are many disadvantages. A native teacher doesn`t know the typical mistakes of the spanish children and this native teacher doesn`t know the interferences between mother tongue to target language. Moreover they don`t know the cultural differences between Spain or England.

On my view, Of course I prefer the non-native teacher because we know our spanish children and we can motivate them better than native teacher.

See you soon Diana

    hi diana!

    i quite understand your position, but wouldn't you feel better if you had had a native teacher since you were a child? I think we'll now have more fluency and accuracy. But we have to think in Spanish job, of course, lol, for that, i prefer exchanges between teachers...
