Up to 70 per cent of all jobs advertised on are for native English speaking teachers. © Flazingo Photos, licensed under CC BY-SA and adapted from the original. There are perceptions that native speakers of English make better English language teachers. Marek Kiczkowiak, winner of the TeachingEnglish blog award, argues that those perceptions need to change. Have you looked for an English teaching job recently? If you're a Native English Speaker Teacher NEST then you'll have seen an abundance of teaching opportunities out there. But for a non-native English Speaker Teacher NNEST, it's a different story. Up to 70 per cent of all jobs advertised on – the biggest job search engine for English teachers – are for NESTs yes, I have counted. And in some countries such as Korea it’s even worse – almost all recruiters will reject any application that doesn’t say English native speaker on it. If you start questioning these practices, you are likely to hear one or all of the following excuses 1. Students prefer NESTs2. Students need NESTs to learn good’ English3. Students need NESTs to understand the culture’4. NESTs are better for public relations While it is beyond the scope of this short article to fully debunk all the above, I would like to briefly outline here why these arguments are flawed. 1 The first argument gets repeated like a mantra and has become so deeply ingrained that few attempt to question its validity. Yet, I have never seen a single study that would give it even the slightest backing. On the other hand, I have seen many which confirm that students value traits which have nothing to do with 'nativeness', such as being respectful, a good communicator, helpful, well prepared, organised, clear-voiced, and hard working. Other studies show that students do not have a clear preference for either group. It seems then that it is the recruiters, not the students, who want native speakers. 2 On the second point, I believe it's a myth that only NESTs can provide a good language model. What I find troubling is that many in the profession assume language proficiency to be tantamount to being a good teacher, trivialising many other important factors such as experience, qualifications and personality. While proficiency might be a necessity – and schools should ensure that both the prospective native and non–native teachers can provide a clear and intelligible language model – proficiency by itself should not be treated as the deciding factor that makes or breaks a teacher. Successful teaching is so much more! As David Crystal put it in an interview for TEFL Equity Advocates 'All sorts of people are fluent, but only a tiny proportion of them are sufficiently aware of the structure of the language that they know how to teach it.' So if recruiters care about students’ progress, I suggest taking an objective and balanced view when hiring teachers, and rejecting the notion that nativeness is equal to teaching ability. 3 As for the third argument, most people will agree that language and culture are inextricably connected. But does a native English speaker culture’ exist? I dare say it doesn’t. After all, English is an official language in more than 60 sovereign states. English is not owned by the English or the Americans, even if it's convenient to think so. But as Hugh Dellar notes, even if we look at one country in particular, 'there is very clearly no such thing as "British culture" in any monolithic sense'. As native speakers, we should have the humility to acknowledge that 'no native speakers have experience, or understand all aspects of the culture to which they belong' David Crystal. 4 Finally, the almighty and untouchable’ market demand. Show me the evidence, I say. Until then, I maintain that a much better marketing strategy is to hire the best teachers, chosen carefully based on qualifications, experience and demonstrable language proficiency, rather than on their mother tongue. We are not slaves of the market. We can influence and shape it. As Henry Ford once said 'If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have told me faster horses'. Perhaps most significant of all, being a NNEST might actually give you certain advantages as a teacher. For example, you can better anticipate students’ problems, serve as a successful learning model or understand how the learners feel. Actually, in a recent post James Taylor went as far as wishing he were a non–native speaker. However, I feel that the question Peter Medgyes asks in his article 'Native or non–native who’s worth more?' misses the point slightly. As Michael Griffin has shown, the answer is neither. Both groups can make equally good or bad teachers. It’s all down to the factors I’ve been talking about here personal traits, qualifications, experience and demonstrable language proficiency. Your mother tongue, place of birth, sexual orientation, height, gender or skin colour are all equally irrelevant. So why does this obsession with 'nativeness' refuse to go away? Because for years the English language teaching ELT industry told students that only NESTs could teach them good’ English, that NESTs were the panacea for all their language ills. But let’s be blunt and have the courage to acknowledge that the industry encouraged a falsehood which many of us chose to turn a blind eye to while others assumed they could do nothing. I feel this needs to change. The good news is that positive changes are already taking place. TESOL France has issued a public letter condemning the discrimination of NNESTs. Some of the most renowned ELT professionals such as Jeremy Harmer and Scott Thornbury, as well as organisations such as the British Council Teaching English team have already expressed their strong support for the TEFL Equity Advocates campaign I started, which fights for equal professional opportunities for native and non–native teachers. And you can help bring about the change too in numerous ways that were outlined here. So stand up, speak out and join the movement.

English teachers, are you talking too much in class? Some students and schools believe that the only good teacher is a Native English Speaking Teacher sometimes referred to as a NEST or Mother Tongue speaker. However, the term doesn’t necessarily define teachers or their abilities very well. For example, I’m considered a NEST although I was born in Germany while Welsh-born professor David Crystal OBE, foremost expert on the English Language and language teaching, is wrong with that?We work in an industry that is preparing millions of people to speak English and hundreds of thousands of teachers to help them do it. If native speaker status is essential, then some 80% of the world’s English teachers would be considered to be lacking or lesser in some way Suresh Canagarajah, 2005. Still, many job ads for teachers demand NESTs. Is it really the case that a teacher’s passport is the most important qualification they will ever get? After years training and observing teachers, I can’t believe that – and many others agree with me. We are seeing a growing number of places that refuse to accept these ads, and in some countries including the UK it’s illegal to discriminate on nationality when is a “native speaker” anyway?In some parts of the world, teachers from India, Malta, or South Africa who grew up speaking English are not considered “native speakers” by the visa regime, and simply can’t get visas or work permits as English language teachers. Apparently, the most internationally-employable English teachers are from the BANA countries Britain, Australia, and North America, including Ireland. But consider With all the varieties of English out there – considering local dialects, and the fact that some British English accents are notoriously hard to understand – simply being a NEST does not mean your English is “standard”. Compare that to a Non-NEST who may well be better educated and a better communicator, with a wider vocabulary and crystal clear Oxford English Dictionary do they say NEST is better?The main argument is that a native speaker will be a model of the language their English will be more idiomatic, the teacher will have a richer vocabulary, and they will use a standard model of pronunciation. Students aiming to study or work in the country their teacher is from may see a native speaker as a role model and mentor. In other schools, Native English Speaking Teachers are employed to develop high-level communication or writing practice which students only have access to after learning non-communicative English from their local teachers.What do Non-NESTS have to offer?A non-native English speaking teacher will typically have learned English themselves; an experience which gives them greater empathy, useful first-hand tips, plus an insider’s perspective on the difficulties of learning. This awareness of usual language-learning issues becomes particularly relevant when teaching students of their own mother tongue. Given the difficulty Non-NESTS can have finding employment, they are often the most committed and well-trained teachers you come across. If you have struggled through and made it I have nothing but admiration for you!Is this really such a big deal?This false division between teachers is not something to ignore. Taking the position that a native speaker is automatically better allows for a linguistic imperialism where somehow one variety of English, type of teacher, way of teaching, or even culture, is superior. This can even lead to cases where some schools discriminate and employ NNEST teachers for specific lower paid jobs. There are soon to be over two billion speakers of English in the world and only 18% of us are native English speakers.

That’s a big problem, especially for worse, scientists increasingly say using software to accurately spot AI might simply be latest evidence Turnitin, a big educational software company, said that the AI-cheating detector it has been running on more than 38 million student essays since April has more of a reliability problem than it initially suggested. Turnitin — which assigns a “generated by AI” percent score to each student paper — is making some adjustments, including adding new warnings on the types of borderline results most prone to first wrote about Turnitin’s AI detector this spring when concerns about students using AI to cheat left many educators clamoring for ways to deter it. At that time, the company said its tech had a less than 1 percent rate of the most problematic kind of error false positives, where real student writing gets incorrectly flagged as cheating. Now, Turnitin says on a sentence-by-sentence level — a more narrow measure — its software incorrectly flags 4 percent of investigation also found false detections were a significant risk. Before it launched, I tested Turnitin’s software with real student writing and with essays that student volunteers helped generate with ChatGPT. Turnitin identified over half of our 16 samples at least partly incorrectly, including saying one student’s completely human-written essay was written partly with stakes in detecting AI may be especially high for teachers, but they’re not the only ones looking for ways to do it. So are cybersecurity companies, election officials and even journalists who need to identify what’s human and what’s not. You, too, might want to know if that conspicuous email from a boss or politician was written by have been a flood of AI-detection programs onto the web in recent months, including ZeroGPT and Writer. Even OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT makes one. But there’s a growing body of examples of these detectors getting it wrong — including one that claimed the prologue to the Constitution was written by AI. Not very likely, unless time travel is also now possible?The takeaway for you Be wary of treating any AI detector like fact. In some cases right now, it’s little better than a random a good AI detector exist?A 4, or even 1 percent error rate might sound small — but every false accusation of cheating can have disastrous consequences for a student. Since I published my April column, I’ve gotten notes from students and parents distraught about what they said were false accusations. My email is still open.In a lengthy blog post last week, Turnitin Chief Product Officer Annie Chechitelli said the company wants to be transparent about its technology, but she didn’t back off from deploying it. She said that for documents that its detection software thinks contain over 20 percent AI writing, the false positive rate for the whole document is less than 1 percent. But she didn’t specify what the error rate is the rest of the time — for documents its software thinks contain less than 20 percent AI writing. In such cases, Turnitin has begun putting an asterisk next to results “to call attention to the fact that the score is less reliable.”“We cannot mitigate the risk of false positives completely given the nature of AI writing and analysis, so, it is important that educators use the AI score to start a meaningful and impactful dialogue with their students in such instances,” Chechitelli key question is How much error is acceptable in an AI detector?New preprint research from computer science professor Soheil Feizi and colleagues at the University of Maryland finds that no publicly available AI detectors are sufficiently reliable in practical scenarios.“They have a very high false-positive rate, and can be pretty easily evaded,” Feizi told me. For example, he said, when AI writing is run through paraphrasing software, which works like a kind of automated thesaurus, the AI detection systems are little better than a random guess. I found the same problem in my tests of Turnitin.He’s also concerned that AI detectors are more likely to flag the work of students for whom English is a second didn’t test Turnitin’s software, which is available only to paying educational institutions. A Turnitin spokeswoman said Turnitin’s detection capabilities “are minimally similar to the ones that were tested in that study.”Feizi said if Turnitin wants to be transparent, it should publish its full accuracy results and allow independent researchers to conduct their own research on its software. A fair analysis, he said, should use real student-written essays on different topics and writing styles, and address failure on each subgroup as well as wouldn’t accept a self-driving car that crashes 4 percent — or even 1 percent — of the time, Feizi said. So, he proposes a new baseline for what should be considered acceptable error in an AI detector used on students a percent false-positive will that happen? “At this point, it’s impossible,” he said. “And as we have improvements in large-language models, it will get even more difficult to get even close to that threshold.” The problem, he said, is that the distribution of what AI-generated text and human-generated text looks like are converging on each other.“I think we should just get used to the fact that we won’t be able to reliably tell if a document is either written by AI — or partially written by AI, or edited by AI — or by humans,” Feizi said. “We should adapt our education system to not police the use of the AI models, but basically embrace it to help students to use it and learn from it.”A question before you goIt’s one of the scourges of online life Have you ever been misled by what you suspect is a fake online review?

The topic of the conference was K-12 mathematics education, but like most such conferences, it took place at a university. When I spoke near the end of the conference, my topic was a simple question "Where are the teachers?" Over three days, not one of the speakers was an actual K-12 teacher. Teachers were experts too, I said, and we should be listening to them too. Awkward silence followed. Finally, one of the distinguished education professors spoke up. "You know," he said with some irritation, "I wouldn't ask my students to teach their own classes; why should we invite K-12 teachers to talk about education?" I was reminded of this when I read a recent opinion piece in the Washington Post by Mike Rose, an education scholar from UCLA. Rose pointed out that over the years he'd read some 60 articles on medicine in the New Yorker magazine; nearly two-thirds were authored by medical practitioners medical doctors. Yet over the same period, he'd read 17 articles on education, and not one had been authored by an education practitioner, either a teacher or an education researcher. I myself would be less expansive in defining "practitioner." Rose went on to explain why this ill-served the New Yorker's readership. David Remnick, the New Yorker's editor provided a brief response in which he compared education to politics or sports. Remnick pointed out that they published many articles on these other subjects, but few by politicians or sports figures. He added that the New Yorker did publish articles authored by university professors, who were, after all, educators too. Now we have COVID-19. Here in New York City, as in other places across the country, the city faced an agonizing decision, whether to close the schools. The decision was complex Schools provide a variety of vital services to students and their families, and one had to balance disrupting those services against slowing the contagion, potentially saving lives. The decision also involved education itself, however, and while politicians, pundits, social workers, advocates for the poor, even union reps all weighed in, teachers were not part of the deliberations. Teachers found out the day before. It's commonplace to say, "We don't respect teachers," but we seldom consider what that means. Respect isn't merely the way you treat people—respect is the way you value their expertise. That eminent university professor infantilized K-12 teachers, no matter how seasoned or accomplished they were, perhaps because the teachers he knows are in training. Mr. Remnick suggested that university professors provide sufficient expertise most likely because he doesn't know what education expertise means or perhaps he confuses expertise with prestige. When deciding whether to close schools, the mayor and chancellor saw teachers as employees who receive decisions rather than experts who help shape at MfA, engaged in a science Lisnet for Math for America When we don't value expertise, we stop expecting it. Some policy makers assert that teachers don't need to know content beyond the level of their students. They suggest that teachers who learn as they teach can understand their students' struggles! Teachers seldom have a role in formulating pedagogical reforms, which are often created by university educators or politicians. And teachers are almost never consulted about policies that profoundly affect their students, like standardized testing or algebra for all in 8th grade or closing schools. Should teachers be experts in the content they teach? Of course, they must. To teach young people, you have to know the material—deeply, differently, so you can unpack the ideas in many ways, for the struggling as well as the precocious. Should teachers be part of reform? Of course. Teachers are the ones who drive reform forward, not policy makers. Should teachers weigh in on issues that affect their students? It seems absurd to even ask such a question. Good teachers know their students best. When we ignore this, we make colossal mistakes, like creating bizarre testing regimes or proposing misaligned curricula. Education suffers when we don't value teacher expertise, but the worst consequence is something more lasting The teaching profession becomes less attractive. The best eventually leave, fewer of the best enter, and over time teacher expertise declines, creating a downward spiral. Yes, I know, not every teacher is an accomplished expert, just as not every doctor is. But many are, and they are the ones we need most. Instead, they leave. Worse, they tell brilliant young people who think about teaching as a career "You can do better." A 2019 PDK survey asked teachers whether they would advise their own children to follow in their footsteps; less than half 45 percent said they would. The week of May 4 is Teacher Appreciation Week in the United States. This year, instead of giving teachers a plant or a letter or a video all suggestions from the internet, why not give them something they can use? Give them respect—the kind that recognizes their expertise. Otherwise, we might all soon be asking … "Where are the teachers?" YOMEDIA Câu hỏi All our English teachers are ……………. speaker.
