Dear teachers,

I'd like to ask a question relating to the title of your job.

What's the difference between "lecturer of English" and "instructor of English"? I've checked the dictionary, it says instructor is lower in rank than the assistant lecturer. So the difference here is lecturer is more advanced, right?

Now that means a person who teaches English (4 E skills, no specialzation) in a university, in an ESL program, should be called "lecturer of English"? is it correct?

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks a lot in advance.
