In this eye-opening episode, Anna and I dive into one of the most controversial and emotional topics in language education — nativism, bias, and inequality in ELT.From job ads demanding “young, attractive native speakers” to teachers underpaid or dismissed because of their passport, this conversation strips away the polite silence surrounding discrimination in our industry.Mike shares shocking personal stories from Russia and Asia, while Anna recounts what her American colleague felt when used as an “advertising token.” Together, they ask: What truly makes a good teacher — nationality or knowledge?Raw, candid, and necessary — this is a call to every educator who’s ever felt unseen or undervalued.Loved this episode?Follow The Languages Pedagogy Podcast for more honest, powerful conversations at the intersection of language, education, and humanity.Share it with a fellow educator, leave a review, or tag us on social media — your voice helps elevate ours.Together, we’re not just teaching — we’re transforming.#LanguageEducation #TeacherVoices #PedagogyPodcast #GlobalClassroom
