Perhaps a freshman course of Engineering 4, Languages of the near east?  Grant
all engineering majors a minor in foreign languages?

Seriously, though, it's tough to learn the difference between molality and
molarity through a thick persian accent.  Fortunately, I had the other
chemistry teacher, who spoke english but couldn't teach.  

This language problem is serious.  At Santa Clara, there is a policy that TA's
are not allowed to teach classes.  If the professor can't make it, another one
comes or the class isn't held.  TA's are used for labs, however.
