I would like all visitors to this website,which we hold in
high esteem,to start a discussion on whether non-native speakers
are in any way inferior to their native brethren.I'm from
India and I, like millions of other Indians,am as fluent
in English as our native friends.So, when I see ads
mention
"job open to native speakers only",I find it rather amusing.
Native speakers from certain countries can't boast of a neutral
accent.Can this be considered a bias?Why are millions
of
English speakers around the globe(non-native,mind you)
thought
unfit for English teaching jobs?Will somebody please answer?
