English Teachers - Native vs. Non-Native

[@tian5412]

I am Chinese, living in Canada. I have subscribed to several English education channels to watch every day. However, your channel is always my first choice. I even subscribed to your podcast to practice my listening skills at 1.5X speed during chores. Your content and pronunciation are so clear and easy to understand that they encourage me to keep learning.

[@listeningtimepodcast]

I'm glad my content has been helpful for you! Thank you for listening!

[@fuforecords2331]

The point is clear. This is not just about speaking, it's also about teaching. My best teachers actually were non-native English speakers. Being a Native English speaker neither makes you a good English teacher nor means that your students will learn or they will speak better English. Students have to learn and speak standard English, and also being able to communicate fluently. That's the important thing. Native English speakers with different accents are good for improving your listening skills but they make no considerable impact on the way you speak or your accent. In my opinion there is no point in imitating accents unless you live in an English speaking country and you have to deal with English speakers every day. Then you won't imitate the accent, the accent will come out by itself without you noticing. Thanks for your videos.

[@АлексЧес]

Thank you so much for the lesson When I started learning English, I had teacher who knew two languages It’s really more comfortable when your teacher Can explain you, grammar rule or grammar structure on your language.

[@listeningtimepodcast]

Definitely!

Thank you, teacher. That's true. When I was young, my English teacher was Egyptian, so I learned the Egyptian dialect from him.

I'm a non-native English teacher. I have been teaching online since 2015. I lived in an English speaking country as a child and went to a British Convent school for 12 years. I spoke English as my first language for my entire childhood. Even now my English vocabulary is richer than my mothers tongue. The only reason I'm not paid as native speakers is my citizenship.

[@listeningtimepodcast]

I would definitely consider you a native speaker! Citizenship is meaningless when it comes to who is a native speaker.

[@somonshakirov]

If I'm mistaken, I listened your podcasts on Spotify couple of years ago as a student learning English and you have 100-200 thousands subscribers. Now, I'm listening to your podcasts as a teacher(tutor) and you hit over a million subscribers. Wish you the best and more followers. P.S Is there any online courses that I attend to talk with native speakers and exchange ideas?

[@Mrabbit2009]

I am a non-native English teacher, and I have been studying American English pronunciation for some time now. To enunciate words and sounds correctly, I had to learn how to physically produce them-understanding the anatomy of sounds, such as how to drop the jaw, position the tongue, flare the lips, and so on. This includes not just isolated sounds but also how they change in connected speech, including variations, reductions, linking sounds, stress, and intonation. I believe I can effectively teach this to my students because, ultimately, the goal is not to sound like a native speaker but to develop trained ears capable of understanding native speech in conversations, movies, and TV shows. Clarity is also of utmost importance. Another advantage I bring is that I understand my students’ struggles firsthand because I’ve experienced them myself.

[@listeningtimepodcast]

That's awesome! Very few people have ever put in the effort to study and master these concepts. I'm sure your students will benefit from that.

I have a question that after a year and a half year of learning English I should speak after see a short story and introduce it my teacher? I have a problem with it.

[@fabianvieira9497]

Of course, it is much better to have a native English teacher to learn the correct sounds and pronunciation. I had a non-native teacher who taught me English with a terrible accent and now I realize it wasn't good pronunciation. Thank you Teacher for speaking VOCALIZING the words well !!

Na minha região alguns professores de inglês não conseguem reproduzir alguns sons da língua inglesa.

Concordo já passei por isso. Já perdi muito dinheiro com professores brasileiros.

That's understandable. This is one of the disadvantages of non-native teachers.

If the teacher has had a good education, you can learn a lot from him. In the beginning, it is even easier to understand a non-native speaker than a native speaker (my experience after learning three foreign languages)..

I agreed you Conner because like school teachers normally they can explain to English lesson but they can't speak English and also if you ask their how am ı go to there , they won't talk 😂

[@УланТабылдиев-ф5д]

You're right . English teacher must be a native speaker.

[@YoucefMokhtari-rs8xs]

I was studying with non-native professors. I suffered for two years without any results, and when I joined the American Institute, I improved in six months, with an American professor who was twenty-five years old.

[@listeningtimepodcast]

I'm glad you were able to improve!

Thank you for this video! It has been useful and interesting as always. I have never had a native English teacher when I was at school, and I can relate to all of the things you just said. Another big problem is the way English is taught in school, the structure of teaching, at least in my country. I want to thank you again for all of your content, you are helping me a lot since I am studying on my own, I think I want to try your US Conversations Podcast, I don’t know if I am at that level yet… probably not 😂, but I’m going to challenge my self.

[@rudsondeygner5721]

If we take into consideration that the number of non-native English speakers is much larger than native ones, the probability of using the language with a non-native is greater than with a native speaker. So, it's just a matter of aesthetics. And usually native speakers are not as good as non-native ones at explaining technical points, especially grammar ones. Why? Simply put... natives don't quite care about their rules as much as non-natives do. So, I'd rather learn English from a non-native other than a native speaker in these terms.

[@listeningtimepodcast]

Thanks for sharing your perspective!

I disagree with you when it comes to pronunciation , what you said might be true in the past , but not now.

[@listeningtimepodcast]

I completely understand that some people might disagree with me about that. I'm just speaking from my personal experience, seeing as I've almost never come across a non-native speaker who produced sounds and stressed words and phrases exactly like a native speaker.

[@paviniidiomas4499]

Yeap. You're a little biased

[@listeningtimepodcast]

If you watch the video, you'll see that I talk about the advantages and disadvantages of non-native teachers. There are advantages and disadvantages to most things in life. I even said that non-native speakers who really want to be English teachers should do it. I think I'm being pretty balanced here.
