Don't Insist on English!

Check out this new TED talk by Patricia Ryan who has spent the last 40 years teaching English in the Arabian Gulf.  More on Patricia Ryan.

"At TEDxDubai, longtime English teacher Patricia Ryan asks a provocative question: Is the world's focus on English preventing the spread of great ideas in other languages? (For instance: what if Einstein had to pass the TOEFL?) It's a passionate defense of translating and sharing ideas."
