Hi Englishuser,
I think we can't call someone with that much of English "STUDENT", or if we can, I think we can't name a lot of teachers of English as "TEACHER".
Love from Turkey,

That, Conchita, is a very good question indeed. Let's see what our native speaker forum members think.
Aydin:
Yes, do you need to study the language if you are that proficient in the language? I suppose most English teachers would get Band Scores of 9 on the IELTS.

BTW, today I did a grammar test in my own language and I made 94% out of 130. (And one foreigner made 101%). :oops: :oops: :oops: I became very embarrased...
(I didnt pay due heed to the test and made it very fast without much thinking - very impetuous of me) |
