  • Language And Culture  By : Brenda Townsend Hall
    The native/non-native-speaking-teacher issues open a whole can of worms of how standards are regulated. I still think the key point about teacher selection is to find the best person for the job. If the non-native speaker fits the bill, then surely that's all that matters. As for regulation, well I agree that students should be protected from sham schools that take their money but don't offer a professional service. Each country, it seems, has its own regulatory system, some ...
  • Native Speakers?  By : Brenda Townsend Hall
    In a recent poll, I asked readers if they thought English language teachers should be native speakers. The result was interesting, as the vote from those with an opinion was close with 48% believing they should be native speakers and 41% saying no.

  • To Teach Business English?  By : Brenda Townsend Hall
    Mid-career crisis? Have you got what it takes to teach English for business?

  • Egyptian Language  By : Mar
    Written records of the ancient Egyptian language have been dated from about 3200 BC.

  • Entre Nous  By : Brenda Townsend Hall
    Non-native speaker to non-native speaker

    In thinking about the ways English is evolving, we have to recognize that it is frequently a lingua franca between non-native speakers. This has strange implications for teaching. I have been told that it is not worth learning any standard form of pronunciation because “the people I talk to wouldn’t understand” and I’ve been asked to simplify verbs to eliminate tenses! Of course, as English has developed from a highly synthetic lang...

We had a vague idea of how the Mexican currency worked, but we were clueless when it came to how much to pay people at restaurants and the shops. Let’s just say it was an interesting experience (and I’m sure we were overcharged a number of times).

    Oftentimes, it’s when you have to go without it th...
