As a counterpoint to that observation, I can think of several close friends who speak and write English far more elegantly and accurately than I do, none of whom learned English as a first language.

If there is a requirement to be able to read and write English accurately, then let it be specified as such and not by potentially false assumptions as to what childhood background anyone might imagine would influence linguistic performance.
