Speak no English? GOOD!
Unclear on American Campus: What the Foreign Teacher Said First of all...this article's title is misleading. It's trying to do a pun. But in actuality falls flat. It's really what students are saying about GSI from nonenglish speaking countries.
This article have students complaining about the fact that they can't communicate and that the majority of math and science are foreign. Well no DUH! The US doesn't really encourage students to go into sciences and math...and math and science abroad at the lower levels is much better, encouraging high levels...We get what we sow.
I just hate it when people complain about the language barrier. I'm like hell...why do you expect someone to learn english for you if you don't even try and learn another language. What are people thinking? yeah it can be hard to communicate, but english isn't the universal language as many people would hope ;0 imagine that!
And for those people who say everyone should be required to learn english before coming here...give me a break. Those people are only saying that cause they never will leave the US...which is a sad fate just within itself. I was so surprised in Jr. High that some people didn't have a passport...I thought everyone would have one.
Google Search engine tricks ;) Waaaaaaaay cool. Look at these and all the things that you can do!
Look...more money wasted by the government...still
That's basically it for me, pretty managable post to read neh? It's a friday and I'm off in TWO HOURS! whoo hoo! Life couldn't be more sweet...specially since I got a new CD Drive! To the weekend, Saving face, and Shari's Birthday!
