18 A talk about Having a native English teacher is not always a good What are the
learning English
idea.. Advantages: they speak the language well, good advantages and
model - accent, ss can copy when they speak, when disadvantages of
SS watch movies or go to a foreign country they can being taught
understand better. Native speakers - wide range of English by a native
language: colloquial language and slang, SS are English speaker
motivated to speak English, it´s more natural to speak E
in class. Disadv: some people teach only because they
speak English, not because they like teaching, so if they
are not motivated, they won’t teach well. Learning their
language as a mother tongue is very different from
studying how to teach it.A teacher who doesn´t
understand what it is like to learn the language may not
understand what is hard for their students. If they don’t
speak the students´ language they can’t use translation
to give an answer quickly, they won’t know what is hard
and what is difficult. If a grammar structure is hard, but
maybe it is the due in the students´ language, then its
easy to teach.There is a risk that SS won’t be able to
ask the questions they want to ask, because they
cannot express themselves well in English The quality f
teaching is more important than the teacher being a
native English speaker
