I dunno. As a former tech writer, I had to work with engineers and programmers from other countries whose English skills were minimal, but I did get along. On the other hand, the approach wasn't teacher/student, but rather consultative. They'd explain something, then I'd confirm it. They'd say "No," and then we'd try again. And of course we'd use diagrams and visuals. Maybe that approach doesn't work so well in the lab/academic environment?
