ATC CONTROLLER HIRING PUSH CREATES CLASS STRUGGLE

If one has never had an English class, their English spelling and grammar
are not likely to be too great no matter how intelligent they are.

Actually, intelligent people will become fluent and will make very few
mistakes even without any formal instruction.

I see you've had little experience with foreign born technical
people.

If they are young enough, their English spelling and grammar may
become "fluent", but not likely withoug formal instruction and
very unlikely if their native language is very different from
English as in Chinese or Farsi.

Their conversational English will be OK, but their written English
will be full of strange grammatical constructions and word use.

He's had little experience, period. Except with his playstation, of
course.

I teach them English, so I have years of experience with them.

English as in Chinese or Farsi.

They need not be young, and I know people who have become completely bilingual
in adulthood. It's mostly a matter of motivation, and practice.

Their conversational English will be OK, but their written English
will be full of strange grammatical constructions and word use.

Not if they are smart and motivated.

Why do they need to be smart, motivated, taught and invest in a good bit of
practice?

Only yesterday you were insisting good English and spelling was a simple
matter of intelligence.

Motivation is the most important, and they need to be of at least average
intelligence. Smart people make more progress with less effort and therefore
require less motivation. Just about everyone needs some amount of practice.
Being taught accelerates learning but is not essential.

Language fluency and intelligence are closely correlated.
