Omission of being

Here in my country, some English teacher says that the sentence 'Being walking along the street, I saw a man with five dogs." is grammatically correct in the whole her life. And she says that Even native English speakers do not know English grammar well or better than she knows.

How can I deal with this issue and do you agree that the sentence is absolutely grammatically correct?

Do you have any ideas about this situation? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

The sentence isn't correct. If you leave out being , it's fine. Being is usually used to indicate a reason in clause equivalents or reduced clauses: Being tired, I went to bed.

I have no idea about that structure. It's unfamiliar to me. But overall, having two following words with "ing" doesn't sound better. You could make it clearer and better by saying:

"While I was walking along the street, I saw a man with five dogs.", or shorter like:

"While walking along the street, I saw a man with five dogs."

The original is wrong. It should be as shown. There is no participial construction in English like "being walking".
