Speaker 1 Summary
Beckstein concludes that students shouldn’t be allowed to satisfy the foreign language requirement by learning ASL. This is because he believes ASL isn’t a foreign language, based on the fact that it’s the native language of many people in North America.
Speaker 2 Summary
Sedley undermines Beckstein’s argument by pointing out that Beckstein’s logic would commit him to arguing that French and Spanish shouldn’t satisfy the foreign language requirement, because many North Americans speak these languages natively. The point is Beckstein’s assumption for what’s required to be considered a foreign language is absurd.
Objective
They disagree on whether a language is foreign simply because it’s native to many North Americans.
