Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1, Walden University, language: English, abstract: As the world becomes more globalized, English becomes widely spread too. This explains the reason for the emerging world Englishes which exhibit variations from the native English. Fussell claims that 'no matter where you are in the world, English seems to have its own way of cropping up'. This claim is reaffirmed by Kachru who argues that English has become the language of those who are using it. As such, it is explicit that it takes distinct identity in different regions. However, the functions of English and its usage among native-English speakers and non-English speakers seem to be raising unprecedented controversies. One of these controversies surrounding English is the question of who teaches better. Is it native speakers or non-native speakers? Graddol points out that 'as English proficiency becomes more widespread, so do potential sources of teachers'. Therefore, this argumentative essay seeks to answer this question by arguing that native English speakers are the best English teachers.
