# Native speakers of English are people who acquire the language in infancy and develop the language through adolescence and adulthood within a community where English is spoken as the first language. Native-speaker English competence refers to the ability to use English fluently and spontaneously, to give grammatically accurate responses in communication and to write or speak creatively. Non-native speakers of English, i.e. people who have not acquired the language since early childhood, are also suitable for employment if their English competence is not different from that of native speakers in terms of fluency, accuracy and creativity in language use.
