In response to Re: BUCKLAND INSTITUTE (LadyinBlack)


Clearly, there are many illiterates, here, who are not qualified to teach English. There wasn't a single grammatical error in Sara's post. If anything, this shows that the people complaining about Buckland's might actually be the bad seeds. Perhaps these people weren't really qualified to teach English in the first place, and maybe that's why they had many problems with Buckland? If they can't read or write, then maybe they goofed elsewhere.

I'm not saying Buckland is perfect. I'm just saying that it speaks poorly when the people complaining make false claims.

To be fair, writing on this site is a leisure time activity for most of us- at any given time we may have had a bellyful of of beer and no thought at all goes into structure or spelling. I never know what I am going to say from one word to the next.

As for qualified teachers- as far as I know, we only have two (maybe three now because Cunning Linguist used to be a schoolmaster in Blighty?) teachers who are qualified to teach in Western schools- the rest of us wouldn't even get a job stirring the porridge in Western school canteens. No, we are oral English teachers and not qualified teachers- at best we have spent a couple of weeks in bricks&mortar colleges obtaining TEFL and CELTA. My Chinese school printed me out a fake TEFL, and that is good enough for an oral English teacher.
