Fatma,
Unfortunately Robert is correct. Teaching is a business and they are in it to make money. Students vote with their pocketbooks. Owners are not about to say to an empty classroom, "Boy, I showed them."
However, working with Non-Native speakers is always a pleasure. They know the language and when students say "I'll never learn English." I always reply... something about the Non-Native teacher learned English and is an good example of what can be achieved. Learn from them. They know their stuff.
I would suggest a yahoo group called
creativeenglishteachers
It's a great group and they are very supportive. They have lots of mailings with good material and a lot of the members are Turkish. You will find a lot more positive support and feedback there.
Good Luck
