It depends on the subject I guess. My school doesn't have TAs, only professors. As a French and International studies double major, I wish there were more foreign professors at my school. I think they would add a unique perspective. In high school, I had a music teacher who was a Japanese immigrant. At the beginning, it was hard to understand her but I got used to the accent and I began to understand her. This summer I worked with people from all over the Middle East and again, it was hard at first but after a while I got used to hearing the accent.

Obviously, if the teacher's english is SO bad that it is incomprehensible, they shouldn't be teaching but sometimes it just takes some time to get used to hearing a different accent.
