Since all the three articles "Native speaker(NS) non native speaker(NNS) dichotomy", "Native and Non native teachers in the classroom", "Nonnative English speaking professional in TESOL", discuss more or less the same topic I have some general questions:
Mostly, all the schools want the best for their learners. Is it a Native Speaker Teachers that are best in this case?
Could it be possible that in certain situations NNS teachers are preferable?
Are NS teachers the best teachers of a language? Just because they speak a language naturally, does that mean that they can teach it better?
What makes the teachers better equipped to teach the language?
Considering the issue of English as an International Language, many non native speakers communicate in a certain type of English on a regular basis with other non native speakers. So, in this situation who would make the better teacher?
