Hi, just wanted to make a simple note about Foriegn teachers not being native. I have been leaving in China here for 10 years.

When China understands from other countries that you have to look for qualification and not passport (as in all the rest of the world, like Hong Kong, Japan) then they will eventualy start to improve their English.

Many studies show that qualified non native speakers can teach language better than qualified native teachers.

Regarding the accent that many people want to learn. Studies show that unless someone lives in an environment that surrounds him with the language he cannot get the accent. And this is impossible after the age of five.
