New graduates in many disciplines find themselves in the same universal predicament : people will not employ them because they are inexperienced, and to get experience, they first have to find a job. English - language teaching seems to be one of the few areas where experience is not an emphasised prerequisite, as there is a high demand on the profession. In some cases even adequate certification is not a requirement if the job seeker is a native speaker. Indeed, there is no consensus today as to who is qualified to teach English to speakers of other languages. Native speakers with no background - academic or experiential - are usually preferred over nonnatives with proper training and years of experience in the profession. Being a native speaker is generally taken to be synonymous with being able to teach English. Among non native speakers there is a similar case : anybody who has been exposed to the English language long enough to attain a relatively good command of the language is usually deemed “qualified” to teach it. Especially if that person has studied English language and literature at the undergraduate level, she is considered “highly qualified” in ELT, regardless of whether she has had training in teaching or not. “Those who know can teach” seems to be the current motto in English - language teacher employment, and will remain so until the ELT market worldwide is saturated with teachers.
