If more computer scientists studied language then we'd see better-written CS papers. It would benefit the authors too: research is more valuable when you can communicate it clearly, so people are more likely to cite a well-written paper. I think Dijkstra's fame is as much a consequence of his excellent writing as his research.

Essay and report-writing is already part of the curriculum for these preparing to get into a CS school. I do not think demanding from students to explain what the poet was thinking or to learn spanish will help them with writing CS papers, if anything I would argue that the reverse is true. In addition I would argue that most CS papers are well written.

But if you had students that had specialised at 14 done GCSE's and A levels in the subject they do at uni you could have three year degrees instead of four.
