Numerous studies have analyzed various aspects of English language teaching to uncover discriminatory employment practices within the field. However, there is a gap in the research regarding the discourses present in school-managed teacher recruitment websites (TRWs), particularly in the field of private online language education (POLE). This study aims to address this gap by investigating how the preferred online English teacher is characterized and what benefits they are promised when visiting these webpages. Using critical discourse analysis, the author analyzed the textual elements of 32 TRWs of online English schools operating in six major markets in Asia. The findings reveal that although a few schools show signs of relatively fair policies and emphasize professional qualifications, most of them appear to exploit native-speakerism through their application requirements and compensation policies that often favor only some groups. The implications emphasize the benefits of creating equitable employment opportunities and professionalizing POLE by leveraging the qualifications and experience of teachers from diverse backgrounds, while ensuring fair compensation. Finally, this study provides practical strategies for present and prospective online teachers on how to take advantage of the opportunities of digital language work while contributing to the attainment of equity in the industry.

私人在线英语教学中的特权和偏见：学校招聘网站上的话语


许多研究分析了英语教学的各个方面，以揭示该领域的歧视性就业做法。然而，关于学校管理的教师招聘网站 （TRW） 中存在的话语的研究存在差距，尤其是在私人在线语言教育 （POLE） 领域。本研究旨在通过调查首选在线英语教师的特征以及他们在访问这些网页时承诺的好处来解决这一差距。使用批判性话语分析，作者分析了在亚洲 6 个主要市场运营的在线英语学校的 32 所 TRW 的文本元素。研究结果显示，尽管少数学校显示出相对公平的政策迹象并强调专业资格，但它们中的大多数似乎通过其申请要求和薪酬政策来利用母语人士，而这些要求和补偿政策往往只有利于某些群体。其影响强调了通过利用来自不同背景的教师的资格和经验来创造公平的就业机会和使 POLE 专业化的好处，同时确保公平的薪酬。最后，本研究为现在和未来的在线教师提供了实用策略，让他们了解如何利用数字语言工作的机会，同时为实现行业公平做出贡献。
