Dear teachers,
"In fact, he thinks there are certain benefits to having a nonnative speaker as a language teacher."
I'm not sure what this sentence means, especially, why we're using 'to having' instead of 'to have' or 'of having'? Would you please explain it for me?
Here the use of 'benefits to having a ...' is similar to the 'to' in the following sentence?
"My trip to the south was of much benefit to my health."
