What are the arguments for and against English medium education for speakers of other languages?
Fluency in a second language -- any language -- improves your cognitive functions. It makes you smarter. Fluency in English, specifically, makes you more marketable, more capable of functioning in the world around you. The argument against an English-only education is that until you gain fluency, you may miss out on some learning. That's quickly overcome though, as you are immersed in the new language.

What languages make up Creole?
Creole isn't a language; it is a term that refers to a language that was formed when two languages meet. Often, speakers will create a pidgin in order to conduct business, but pidgins are not complete languages, and when then need arises for the pidgin to fulfill the role of a language then it develops into a creole. Creoles are considered interesting by linguists because they develop in a relatively short amount of time, allowing linguists to observe the entire process. An example is the creole language of Hawaii, which is ironically called pidgin by its speakers. It originally developed when Japanese, Hawaiian, and English speaking islanders developed a pidgin in order to conduct business. The pidgin was sufficient for conducting business but when these people's children began to play together they needed a more complete language. So the children basically created a new creole language based on the pidgin of their parents and incorporating additional elements from the contributing languages. This creole still survives today. Creoles have occurred all over the world and are the natural result of different people without a common language having to suddenly become neighbors. They are often (but not always) misidentified as pidgin languages, but pidgin languages are not complete languages and are never a person's native tongue. By definition, if a language has native speakers than it cannot be a pidgin; it must be a creole. (This is because the incomplete nature of a pidgin makes it unsuitable as a first language. There are too many personal communications between parents and children that typically cannot be accommodated by the limited vocabularies and rudimentary grammars of pidgin tongues.)

Is it important to know your home language before learning a second language?
The better you know your own language, the easier it will be to make sense of another. There will be times you will disagree with me but you need to understand one first. I have seen students who mix the two languages in a sentence and that makes it harder in the long run.

Is there any point in taking French in highschools?
Certainly. There are a great number of long-term advantages to learn a foreign language. One of them is that French and English languages share common roots and influences, and that makes French easier to master (most noticeably the vocabulary) for English speakers.
Does learning more languages make you more intelligent overall?
EVERYTHING you learn makes you more able to use your brain. You are not likely to be able to change the total amount of material your brain can handle, but you can certainly learn how to use what you have better. I feel that this is being more intelligent.Learning how to speak another language helps you to understand how all languages work; learning a language also helps you to learn how to express your thoughts and feelings better.

Why in English considered a universal language?
English is considered a universal language due to several factors: its widespread use as a first and second language globally, its use as a common language in international business, politics, and academia, and the influence of English-speaking countries in media and culture. This makes English a practical choice for communication between speakers of different native languages.
