							| "Why I wish I was a Non-Native English Speaker" 
 |  
							| An address from a NEST to NNESTS* everywhere.   A thought-provoking post from James Taylor for the TEFL Equity Advocates:         Alex       * For the record, I support the position of the TEFL Equity Advocates, that native English-speaking teachers are unfairly advantaged in the TEFL/TESL/TESOL industry. I think we could do better, though, than the reduction of English-language teachers to simple binary terms such as NEST and NNEST – but it makes for useful shorthand here, I suppose.   |  27 Feb 2016
