Anonymous participant dang and no notes?

I can't remember with mine, if I just found the note about why on one of the pages or I had to ask.... But I do know that it wasn't written in an obvious spot, why mine was cancelled. That really sucks. Seems almost like it was cancelled just for timing out because it took so dang long

Anonymous participant and then after the interview they canceled it?

@Erkan ******

usually, they advertise it as such

Anonymous participant no notation about why?

This did that once for a tourist visa application years back, and it was a "-" missing between my 2 last names. They love to get you on little technicalities

@Tan ***********

@Erkan ******

it has to be an approved course, not just any course.

dude relax. He picked apart the sentence to prove a point. I'm a native English teacher, and I had plenty of "brown" co-teachers at my old school here in Thailand over the years. Sure, every now and then someone would raise an eyebrow and make an inappropriate comment and that they don't LOOK like an American, but they smile and say their parents are of Indian descent and that was it. The reason why no one questioned it from there, was their accent and usage. They were clearly an American native speaker, and that's what the school and parents really cared about in the end- they wanted their kids to talk like a native speaker, not with an accent and in a way that sounded native.

I worked with a lot of Filipina teachers at another school that had an awesome command of English grammatically, and they were amazing teachers. But there was an accent to how they spoke (one that I actually love, personally 🥰) and now and then vocabulary/pronunciation would be used that just didn't really fit right. My supervisor literally told me my focus should be on "smoothing out" any accent issues or "abnormal" usage that their former students might have picked up (cringe). 😑

I'm just letting you know, from my own experiences, what the fuss was about when it came to native vs non native teachers. You can be brown and get hired as a native speaker, no prob- the thing they might take more issue with is about accent/usage, more so than the color of your skin (though I know some of my friends had to get past a little more judgement first, for not "looking" native, at first).
