| Jan 7, 2017 at 15:19 | comment | added | Andrew | @user178049 thanks for the edit. I agree that sometimes you may be able to distinguish one meaning from another by emphasis, for example if I put the emphasis on English or the emphasis on teacher. However here it doesn't help much because "English" applies equally to both the nationality and the language. | |

| Jan 7, 2017 at 7:20 | comment | added | Andrew | @user178049 SovereignSun's answer is exactly how a native speaker might make the distinction: "He is a teacher of English, while he is a teacher from England". If this is not sufficient, please edit your question to clarify what kind of answer you need. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 7:20 | comment | added | SovereignSun | It's as long as the original and is perfectly correct. | |

| Jan 7, 2017 at 7:03 | comment | added | Mohd Zulkanien Sarbini | @SovereignSun Too long to be spoken. And it sounds awkward to my ears. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 7:02 | comment | added | SovereignSun | Just rephrase the first to He's a teacher of English. | |
