Uni students to be taught basic English | NEWS.com.au: "MONASH University will teach its first-year students grammar and punctuation after discovering that most arrive without basic English skills.
Baden Eunson, lecturer at the university's School of English, Communications and Performance Studies, and convenor of the new course, said about 90 per cent of his first-year students could not identify a noun.
'If you ask them to identify adjectives and other parts of a sentence, only about 1 per cent can manage,' he said, according to The Australian."

English is not an easy language, its grammar is hard to be perfect in it (it is true that, unfortunately for me, I'm not a native speaker...).
At least their self esteem is intact.
And it won't affect their chances of graduating. The blessings never stop.
