What kind of proof is this and what qualifies this as proof? Get real! EF and Ih may have their racist and passportist agendas. Or they might like to fancy 'white' teachers are an advertisment for them to attract students. In which case, obviously, their interest is only in making money, and at any cost, at that. That does not prove that nonnative teachers are not good teachers.

Berlitz and Pimsluer are not the world's conscience keepers. And why should they publish any statement to the effect suggested by you?

3. CCTV9 and China Daily do a survey of students in middle schools, high schools, colleges, and universities throughout China, and they can prove with a 2/3 majority that learning spoken English from native speakers is useless and ineffective.

Are you out of your mind or what? Why should CCTV9 and China Daily conduct a survey along the lines you want? Are you the president of China or the head honcho at one of these organizations? BTW, how does proving the ineffectiveness or otherwise of native teachers prove that of the nonnative speakers? Native teachers have their role, and nonnative speakers can contribute equally in the education of willing students.

If you are bothered by sound reasoning, please get some help. If you want only your side of the argument said you must be truly sick.

It's you that's bothering people and not vice versa. And, you're doing so with your utterly thoughtless pronouncements.
