Abstract
This chapter shares the experiences of two Jamaicans recruited to teach English in Colombia and Japan. The male, armed with only an English-speaking tongue, carved out a new instructor identity as a self-acclaimed Ambassador of English on a mission. The chapter charts this intuitive and emerging understanding of this pedagogical construct and mission through curriculum interrogation, a paradigm shift in classroom teaching, and the abrogation of hegemonic notions of native-speakerism, outer and inner concentric notions of facility with English, and the ownership of English in a counter discourse of the Ambassador of English as an international interlocutor digital native and intuitive practitioner strategically placed to engender a shared international professional-academic for the teaching of English as an international language.
