Which Level for ESL Students?

In fact, I know many people who are studying ESL but have English reading comprehension skills better than people learned English 1A, 1B, and even graduated from a university. I could see this through business classes that I learned. In the classes, there are a lot of EFL people, English as First Language, but they could not read English comprehension well. Clearly, people don't only require vocabularies and grammars but also the knowledge and experience to read comprehension.

In addition, people who learned ESL couldn't have ability or opportunity to use their English writing skills over their lifetimes, except only a minority of the people, very few, who really pursued their business in English writings. Also, the minority only succeeds in the future, not the present. In fact, a lot of people who have EFL could not have ability to use English writing skills over their lives. Think how many people are there around you using their papers in their business?

If ESL students have abilities to learn very well in their majors through the English reading comprehension skills, I don't know they should be given opportunities to study more in English classes if they have not passed writing classes before?
