"English as a Second Language"

This is well-traveled territory, but I do appreciate author Karen Gocsik's clear breakdown of some of the common issues we face when working with international students.

I also liked the points she made about other ways of looking at writing and research. Many of us share the American cultural bias to get straight to the point, make it short and sweet. It makes me wonder what we're missing by axing digressions. How much subtlety are we sacrificing?
