It is a fact that English language centres, in the main, prefer to recruit native speakers (not western passport holders necessarily). It is also true that students have at times been disappointed when faced with accents they perceive as 'foreign' and/or difficult to understand, be they English English, Scottish English, broad Australian English, standard American English, Canadian English or some other type of English.
That said, centres will need to get the job done and it is early days yet. When push eventually comes to shove, there will be enough for all those who are ready, able and willing to teach.
