HOMEWORK NEST AND NNEST TEACHERS

In your personal opinion should only native speakers teach English as a second language?

Well, I think it isn´t necessary,because you can be a good teacher even though you are not native speaker,you just have to learn how to teach and your English must be good.
There is a stereotype that takes for granted that a native speaker is by nature the best person to teach his/her foreign language. This assumption leaves little room for non-native teachers.

What are the advantages that a non-nest has?

Non-NESTs can teach learning strategies more effectively, as a non-NEST is a teacher and a learner at the same time, he or she has developed learning strategies that can be useful to his or her students. On the other hand, NESTs may lack these strategies.
Non-NESTs can provide learners with more information about the English language.
Non-NESTs have learned about how the English language works during their own learning process. This makes them better informants than their native colleagues.
They are more able to anticipate language difficulties because by contrasting two languages, phonological, morphological/lexical, syntactic, and pragmatic errors can be predicted.

What are the advantages of a Nest?

Authentic Learning: A student will be exposed to the authentic English language. Through learning activities such as games, students will learn about the culture and how to speak like a native speaker. This includes the use of slang and accents. Students will be able to engage in real and regular conversations that English speakers use every day.

2. Pronunciation and Language Use: Native speaker teachers provide a natural way of learning English words and grammar. Students will learn how to properly pronounce words and phrases. They will also learn how to speak and write using proper grammar and vocabulary. They can provide instant and accurate feedback to help students overcome bad speech patterns. . For instance, if a student pronounces a word "ate" but means to say "hate," a teacher will provide proper enunciation of the letter "h." Many words look the same but are pronounced differently. Phrases such as "I have read that magazine," and "I like to read" are good examples. These types of words can be confusing for a student learning English. A native speaker teacher will understand the background and meaning of the words.

3. Cultural Questions: Because the English language is often integrated within a culture, native speaker teachers are able to provide answers to questions about customs or cultural practices that may come up during class.

4. Grammar: People whose native tongue is English are quick to catch grammar errors. For instance, a phrase such as "will not to tell" is a grammar mistake a teacher will pick up on every time. They will provide positive feedback to help a student learn to say "will not tell." After a series of positive feedback sessions, students will begin to monitor themselves and catch their own mistakes and correct them.

5. English Conversations: By conversing with native speakers, a student of English will be able to pick up on the meaning of phrases and the teacher will be able to make sure the student is applying the proper meaning of the words and phrases they use. The English teacher can explain why a phrase is spoken in a certain way.
