You'll also find, throughout these forums that many of us do treat non native speakers equally and sympathise with the fact that it's not as easy for them to find a job as it is for native speakers. You'll find that it's the employer that discriminates against non native speakers, not your fellow teachers.
I respect your persistence and achievements and it's a good example for all non native speakers, well done!  |
Thanks for the support exported_kiwi.
I do agree with everything you said, especially when you mention that non-native speakers don't have the inbuilt ability to know certain things and the fact the non-native will always be at a disadvantage to a native speaker. I can tell by my own experiences.
I keep struggling hard and trying to change this but I still think it is a reality that won't be changed at least for now!
But thank God we all agree and get along well!!
