Esp. since most of them sit in their office writing a book while the student instructor who may or may not speak English actually teaches.

Hope you don't mind Vinnie; just expounding based on personal experience.

Forgot to mention that the professor then REQUIRES their own book as part of the reading material for the class. So there is a captive market/audience.

No problemo (that’s Spanish, I think)

Well, but you can’t blame the professors totally for that. Professors cannot achieve tenure and status at their university on the basis of teaching alone - they have to publish. That book may gain him or her tenure. Teaching won’t.
