Choosing native
English speaker to teach English is confusing because they have their own
strength and weakness. To appoint one of them, we have to determine the purpose
and subject of our course first.
In relation with Indonesia which uses English as the first foreign language, American English accent used widely in many
educational environments. However, two native speakers
from England and US have more familiar accent
used by the Indonesian than the other accents.
Considering the fact above, the two possibilities of
native speaker will be chosen are
from England and US.

Furthermore, if the subject is beginner learner and the purpose of the course is to make student can communicate with the wider community of language user around the world, so native speaker from American is better to be chosen.
It is chosen because the learner is more familiar with American English
rather than British English since the international media
has been dominated by US.

Moreover, the accent of
American English is easier to be learnt, they learn from many movies
produced by US. In addition, many internet materials are used American English for
instance: videos, recording,
etc. While, if the subject is advanced learner and
the purpose is to study abroad to European country, so native speaker from
England is better to be chosen.
