【Revised】Is native appearance equal to language-teaching proficiency?

Is it the best way to learn a language with a native speaker? Does a native speaker present a person who has a good command of language teaching? If you answer those questions positively without any doubt, I am afraid you are falling into some myths.

About half a decade ago, children English private school popped up promptly and so did the number of the children who were sent to the schools. Learning English has turned into a popular trend among all people, especially parents who expect their children to win at the start point of a race. In order to attract more students, private schools are dedicated to constructing all English environments; in recent years, some of them even hire native speakers as English teachers.



However, some of those so-called “native speakers” are not proficient in language teaching at all since a native speaker cannot definitely stand for a person who learns the art of teaching languages. Maybe you will consider that getting along with a native help immerses children in a local-imitating environment where they are equipped with daily spoken ability. It does work in some part but does not strike the right note invariably. The teacher plays an important role in strategically guiding as well as facilitating children step by step instead of just talking with them in the target language. As parents who mind the development of their children, it is one of the significant issues you need to focus on.

The owners of children English private schools should try to enhance their proficiency in choosing as well as fostering teachers so as not to impair what they have expected originally.
