<p>Bone, if what you say is true then how do you explain what the OP is saying about not being able to understand the instructor? Of course I’m not saying don’t hire anyone whose native language isn’t English, but regardless of the workload and compensation of an instructor, if a majority of his/her students can’t understand them, that is unacceptable. You’re saying they assess oral communication skills during the hiring process, and yet the OP posts that he finds it hard understand the material due to the heavy accent of the instructor? Something doesn’t jibe here. Are you saying there aren’t enough primary English language PhDs out there willing to work as adjuncts, and the best we can hope for is that those PhDs that are willing to accept the paltry pay take enough classes to be able to bolster their ability to actually teach in a secondary language? If that’s the case, then the high cost of tuition to attend today’s universities is even more costly than I thought.</p>
