Why do teaching jobs in Thailand prefer native English speakers over non-native speakers like Indians?

Sé Rel precisely and one of the main factors that no one acknowledges directly.

There Maybe disparity in pay between folks from NES countries & say folks from PHILI, VIET, INDIA, THAI, but it may seldom be relating directly to the English language competencies.

Accents, Nurturing in NES, etc etc may merely be excuses for the unfairness that largely prevails. Folks would diss this as well depending on which side of the bias they may be.

Cheers 🍸 🍻

Indian english isnt English.... there i said it 😊

@Jack *******

but I bet Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Aussie, southern Mooricano etc is "ENGLISH"

barring the accent, idioms & nitty gritties of growing up in NES lands, if every other competency is similar irrespective of the land one hails from, their English can be ENGLISH -- there the Fact said itself ?!

Jack ********

of course but correct vocabulary is essential and most un native speakers lack it🤷‍♂️

@Jack *******

obviously correct vocabulary is acquired skill & "Anyone" can have it irrespective of whether NATIVE or NOT

@DavidSon twas some Rude & D*mb logic ✋🏿

& THIS IS also FOR ALL YOU NES SOBs who need a reality check with their presumed "Birthright Over the English language"

Oh my so UN-David of a Son, as the real David was the original underdog-turned-king who slung stones at giants. Meanwhile, some modern ‘giants’ still sling insults about accents, forgetting their own ancestors were likely grunting much worse than Pigs in proto-Germanic while others were building civilizations & humanity.

How the socalled mighty have fallen… into pettiness, ofcourse & you're the living embodiment of it all.

& yes bless your colonial hangover—how quaint & Wussy that you still think English is some exclusive birthright and not a language stolen, butchered, and scattered across the globe by your empire’s relentless pillaging. The irony of you gatekeeping a tongue your ancestors forced down throats with violence and superiority complexes is delicious.

Newsflash: English Language is global now, reshaped and reclaimed by the very people your forebearers exploited. Your infantile condescension is just the pathetic whimper of a faded imperial ego, terrified that the world no longer bows to your "proper" accent. Maybe you should stick to mourning the empire’s collapse, and shove that bloated head up your rotting relic of a rearside; while the rest of us speak "your" language better than you ever will.

Cheers, "Even God cannot save this Clown" 🇬🇧🔥

P.S -- Some top of the mind soon to be added or already imbibed into the "English Lexicon";

"COLONIAL COPE-MUPPET"

"Baldwin's, Ohso Bitter Leftovers"

"RAJ RETARD"

"The Great Bucanneer of BS"

"WIGSTON CHURCHILL"

"TORY ADDLED EMPIRE FART"

If you're still game for it, there's always more of the Irish-Poitin-Piss for likes of y'all

It’s not prejudice but as with all Thailand, Asia, America…. It’s Marketing! Youth & white skin which promotes “truth & equality”. People need get a an education in socialism (it’s part of 3rd grade education).

1- it is command of the English language

2- Teaching jobs do not have preferences, people doing the hiring can, and may prefer a native speaker as rhe chances of better command of English is more probable.

3- It could be assumed you have a thick to moderate Indian accent when you speak.

replying in order of judgements;

1 - There's character limit for the Colored Back Banner of the post & i wanted it remain colored instead of the "forceful WHITE" if one happens to cross a certain character limit. Folks in here would pick on the sentence formation instead of addressing the genuine spirit behind it. Its a simple gaslighting technique that they'd automatically deny as well.

Apparently IF one crosses the limit one can have a WHITE background (pun intended, ofcourse - hope the comma here massaged your ego a tad bit, mate.) 😆🤣

you'd be aware of what I'm referring to. Do not feign ignorance.

2 - I presume you're white skinned Caucasian and have no clue cos your head is yet to come out of the entitled fantasy you may still be having. The jobs have preferences, ofcourse theyre unsaid, & discriminatory, to the extent that an Irish friend (only high school educated, carries the typical accent, s*cks big time at grammar and Normal English speak, but a great bloke) & I applied for the same job without the host knowing-- & you guessed it right - He got it easily & I wasnt even encouraged to go in for the interview inspite of updated resume & creds shared. There's unfounded unsaid discrimination no matter how much folks may turn a blind eye to it.

3- referring to past point, they need to engage to find out if the English skills are reasonably good.

Cheers 🍸 🍻 mate

P.S -- Typos can happen to all, folks may use shorthand as well, write in mannerism whos spirit maybe communicable but definitely FB posts are not to be judged for the COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Bob *******

I was replying in good faith, and had no idea of character limits as I rarely have used a colored background. You could have saved yourself two characters by using "command of" as opposed to "command over".

Of course hiring managers will have unsaid preferences, and being a white person does not make one immune to those. If there was an opening for a russian teaching position, there will be people getting calls back named Yuri, Svetlana, and Oleg, my white sounding name and white skin is not going to help me. Just as people looking for a Hindi teacher will not likely call back someone with my name. It is quite typical in a job search, to have "who you know" to matter as much or more than "what you know"

Good luck in your search, one suggestion would be to use your initials or a nickname that is more Euro sounding to get past the first filtering of resumés.... you might not like how things are, but hopefully it helps you get to your goal.
