Re academic discourse

Yes, I will tell you different. But not because I am a 'test teacher' because I understand what IELTs and the CEFR is and how it's graded. You think a 5 minute oral test twice a year is better than internationally recognized exams. The difference between us is that I am a real and qualified language teacher and you are are not. You use teaching as a means to get a visa so you can persue Asian women, I teach because I love teaching. So of course I understand the difference and you don't.

And don't try making 'test teacher' an insult, as it's not. Being qualified and experienced in preparing students for complex exams such as the CAE and getting them to that level of all round fluency is never an insult! Especially when these exams open doors around the world in both education and employment opportunities. I can award my students with an internationally recognized certification in English fluency. You can't.
