Description
The article explores the vital role of EFL teachers and assesses the contributions of various supporting workers in language education. Examined categories include lexicographers, linguists, teacher trainers, EFL magazine editors, webmasters, and photocopier manufacturers. Lexicographers are commended for their corpus-based dictionaries, while linguists, particularly in the corpus revolution, assist teachers. Teacher trainers face challenges impacting trainees' prior training. EFL magazine editors and webmasters are recognized for resources, though questioned about balanced portrayals. Photocopier manufacturers are credited for enhancing teaching efficiency. The article invites readers to contribute perspectives on other ancillary workers in the field.
