Nativespeakerism is a very important topic in the ELT industry.

-

In her debut episode Meri from @the_non_native_speaker talks to us about the stigma of nativespeakerism.

-

We discuss how it's important to not follow certain accounts that promote 'don't say...' posts.

-

Furthermore, as teachers and learners, we should be aware that non-natives have mastered another language, compared to a monolingual teacher.

-

Message to teachers: Let's stop with the provocative and nonsensical 'don't say' posts

-

Message to students: be aware of the clickbait that certain teachers produce.
