The following appeared in the editorial section of student newspaper.
“In a recent survey, most students who were studying beginning Russian gave higher course-evaluation ratings to classes taught by non-native Russian speakers than to classes taught by native Russian speakers. The reason that the non-native speakers were better teachers is easy to see: the non-native speakers learned later in life themselves, and so they have a better understanding of how the language can be taught effectively. Therefore, in order to improve instruction for all languages and also save money, our university should hire non-native speakers as language instructors instead of trying to find and recruit native speakers.”
In this argument, the arguer conclude that their university should hire non-native speakers as language instructors rather than trying to recruit native speakers so that they can improve instruction for all languages and at the same time save money. Although he provides evidence that seems plausible, after careful consideration this argument bears several flaws.
To begin with, the arguer based on an unwarranted assumption that non-native Russian speakers are better teachers than native Russian speakers, because the former ones received higher course- evaluation ratings than the latter ones. As we know, people gaining higher course-evaluation ratings are not necessarily the ones who can give better instruction. It is highly possible that such people are more amicable than native teachers or native teachers are very strict with their students while non-native teachers not, both of which easily make students prefer non-native Russian teachers.
Secondly, the arguer fails to consider the bad effect of hiring non-native speakers. While it is true that the non-native speakers have a better understanding of how the language can be taught, they may not acquire the language as fluently as native speakers. For example, we cannot rule out the possibility that they do not pronounce as accurately as native speakers. It is also possible that native Russian speakers know about more origins about the language and can make their students learn them more easily.
Last but not least, the arguer conducts a fallacy of hasty generation. Even if non-native Russian speakers indeed gave better instruction, it does not mean that all languages are taught by non-native speakers. Since it is possible that non-native Russian speakers happens to the most famous teachers in their country and they have plenty of teaching experiences, while those native Russians are just graduated from universities and do not know much how to teach effectively, if other language may not be in such circumstance, or in other words, teachers instructing other languages have more excellent native speakers than non-native ones, only hiring non-native speakers as teachers are not wise.
In conclusion, this argument is specious. Unless the arguer provides more information about their teaching quality, as well as conditions of faculties in other languages are the same as Russian, he cannot convince us that his proposal is feasible.

Although he provides evidence that seems plausible, after careful consideration[我觉得应该是after careful examination(针对我们批驳者来说)或是before careful consideration(针对arguer)这样搭配吧] this argument bears several flaws.

[还有两个重要的逻辑错误:non-native speakers learned Russia later in life themselves,并不等于他们一定会教得好,作者偷换了概念。用non-native不一定就会save money.
错误不是太多,是限时写的吗?如果是,那就很不错了。]

Although he provides evidence that seems plausible, after careful consideration 我觉得应该是after careful examination(针对我们批驳者来说)或是before careful consideration(针对arguer)这样搭配吧 你提的这点我还真没考虑,examination 确实比consideration 更贴切,谢谢啦this argument bears several flaws.

For example 上句的语言流利与这句的发音准确应该是并列的吧,怎么这中间要用for example呢? 其实我婿我想表达的是non-native speakers 掌握Russian可能不如native speakers 熟练,写成fluent了 we cannot rule out the possibility that they do not pronounce as accurately as native speakers. It is also possible that native Russian speakers know about more origins about the language and can make their students learn them it more easily.
Last but not least, the arguer conducts a fallacy of hasty generation. Even if non-native Russian speakers indeed gave give,前后一致 better instruction, it does not mean that all languages are should betaught by non-native speakers 这句意思没表达清楚 .

错误不是太多,是限时写的吗?如果是,那就很不错了。 真没想到会有这么多错误,谢谢你的认真修改,我几天没写,都没感觉了
