This article looks at how job advertisements for recruiting English teachers in the Saudi Preparatory Year Programs promote bias and inequity. Based on analysis of 25 job advertisements targeting overseas applicants, the article reports three kinds of selection criteria: professional, demographic, and personal qualities. Although these criteria include a wide range of requirements, speakerhood status was identified as the primary qualification in most of the advertisements. Therefore, this article argues that discrimination based on speakerhood status and country of origin is practised in the recruitment of teachers of English as a foreign language, and the TESOL community needs to problematize the discourses of native speakerism that create unequal status among English language teachers. This article concludes by presenting a number of recommendations to avoid professional inequity and to enhance advocacy and empowerment in TESOL.

沙特阿拉伯背景下的英语教师招聘广告:歧视和不平等的话语

本文着眼于在沙特预科课程中招聘英语教师的招聘广告如何助长偏见和不平等。基于对25个针对海外求职者的招聘广告的分析,文章报告了三种选择标准:专业、人口学和个人素质。虽然这些标准包括广泛的要求,但演讲者身份在大多数广告中被确定为主要资格。因此,本文认为,在英语作为外语教师的招聘中存在基于母语地位和原籍国的歧视,TESOL 社区需要对造成英语教师地位不平等的母语话语进行问题化。本文最后提出了一些建议,以避免职业不平等并加强 TESOL 中的宣传和赋权。
