Why you need to stop using the term non-native speaker 

Great video! The term 'non-native speaker' does carry a negative connotation and your suggestions are really good, focusing on positive things, i.e. that we are qualified, experienced and bi/multilingual. I'm going to start using these terms.

This is a really thought-provoking video! Thanks!

This was very useful for me with regard to building up my confidence. Thank you

This is a lovely first step into breaking the cycle. Most places unfortunately look mostly at color, passport, and accent when it comes to employment.

Thanks a lot! It's a very motivating video 👍

Loved that!

Thank you, Marek. I love your videos and I share many of your ideas.

Wonderful video

This seems like solid advice for qualified teachers of English who are not native speakers I don’t really see how a preference for native speakers is a prejudice or unjustified, however, simply because language learning is for the most part not a deliberate memorization of rules and vocabulary but rather an intuition acquired through many hours of listening and reading and therefore highly dependent on quality of input. There is no shortage of non-native speakers capable of teaching English grammar better than most native speakers, but this is only a small albeit helpful component when used in moderation. Even a native’s mistakes reveal something about the authentic way the language is used in their country, and it’s hard enough to learn good pronunciation even when exclusively listening to native input. It really is an unfair advantage especially if your native language is not in high demand, but it’s not really anyone’s fault. It’s not something you can dismiss as “prejudice.”

thanks bro

Good video. Just to let you know, people speak Portuguese in Brazil.

I teach English at schools, and therefore struggle to call myself "English teacher" as it might be confusing: my degree allows me to each EFL/ESOL but not. English as Language Arts. So I call myself EFL/ESL teacher. Would you say that might be a disadvantage in some contexts?

Sir. I made a presentation video for an online English teaching website. Where I mentioned that "that there was a time when I myself was not good at english. My english was broken but I was passionate about it, I dedicated myself, invested my time and energy and here I'm now talking like a native english speaker". And then there is this other part of my video. Where I say "English is a language it's not a science and I know the biggest that we commit as non native english speakers while learning english, but with the right guidance and practice you will achive your desired results" does it sound convincing? Or shall I edit some parts??

I use bilingual speaker instead. I’ve learned Filipino and English both in school and at home.

No I don't.

It depends where one is searching for a job. If you’re planning to find work in Thailand for example, they’re very specific on their requirements for NESs. If you’re white (yes it makes a difference ), a non-NES and apply for a NES-only job in Thailand, you won’t get the job. You delay the inevitable because they’ll soon find out you’re a non-native from your passport and accent.
