Those teachers should have their licenses revoked and made to go through beginner's English again. Dear god I have only taken Japanese for four years in college and my level of speaking is far better than that. There is no excuse, none.

I agree with you. There were lots of teachers that we'd classify as 'advanced' but they're no fun to laugh at. :) But yes, some of these just made me cringe - how can they possibly justify themselves as English teachers? It's like me trying to teach Chinese!

So what happens to them if they don't get a good evaluation? Do they have to take more classes? If so, who is qualified to teach them?

I will not laugh, I will not laugh...

Yes, I too have taken four years of Japanese and my conversational skills are (I'd like to think) much higher than the examples you give. Oi...
On an unrelated note, thank you so much for the Sonic Underground goodness that you provide! *hugs* Looking forward to more!

I totally agree with you. See, some new teachers I can forgive - freash out of school, getting used to the language, fine. But teachers who claim to be teaching a language for over 10 years and still can't understand nor answer simple questions....that is just WRONG.
