Second Languages

The paper states that, if more people in the United States spoke a second language, it would help resolve the complications that arise from living in a multicultural society.

From the Paper:

"Furthermore, ESL students tend to find it difficult to understand the curriculum that they are enrolled in as these are in English language. They, therefore, often fail to achieve high GPAs or even able to compete with others in the same class. Instead, the students are encouraged to take English courses to be able to comprehend college level curriculum in their chosen field."
