English is currently more or less the global language for most things international.
The solution is to push even more English education if international scientists want to keep up.
I would have the exact same opinion if Chinese was doing the same.
- zubiaur 3y ago100%. I'm very grateful for my family providing me with a foreign language education, particularly English. It's not obvious to me that Chinese is going to become the next global language, although if it were, I would provide my children with the means to learn it. I must say though, that at least when it comes to medical journal articles, some native chinese sources I've found were better written. Less verbose, flowery, jargony. Much more concise. Curious to know if this applies to other fields too.
- jostiniane 3y agoit's the cycle of civilizations and English got a turn, I agree that's the way. But the issue for most places is the fear to loose their language and identity slowly.. Pushing their own language in schools and universities is a way to keep it alive but does sacrifice people and leave them behind.. I come from a place where English is the third language and I can see the pain of brilliant people left behind because of that.
