If you want to be a holiday rep in kavos, you do not need to learn Greek lol. I can't imagine I can find a source because its simply common knowledge, who would write up an article on that. Same goes for any other holiday rep in every other country. There are thousands of British TEFL teachers across Asia and South America, and hundreds of British doctors working in warzone countries. A link isnt required, a basic understanding of how the world works is.
These people shouldnt be denied their job because they cant speak a language, they are providing a service. It is for this reason that I believe your argument is hypocritical, you simply expect more of foreigners than you do of British people.
If you believe all these people should be fired tomorrow, then you have a pretty interesting debate, until then, its a one-sided argument.

And the schoolchildren in Beijing or Brazil being taught by British teachers?
The patients in Syria being treated by British doctors?
Can the British journalists living in Iraq can integrate with locals?

Unless you think these people (and the thousands of others I've not mentioned) should all be fired asap, your point is hypocritical.

The teachers in the better schools learnt he Language

The doctors are there to save lives not Live there forever

British Journalists lives are in danger over there so why will they integrate

No they dont. If you want to apply for a TEFL in any country tomorrow, you can. Learning the language is not a requirement.
"Life being in danger" is a weird get-out clause that youve made up on the spot right now to try and piece together your strange argument, which is still hypocritical.
plenty of doctors choose to treat abroad throughout their life. Learning a language is not their priority, perfecting surgical procedures is.
Holiday reps, waiters, and bartenders and those in plenty more lines of work often choose to live in exotic countries throughout their life, and it is not mandatory for them to learn the language.
I dont think it should be mandatory either, they are providing a service, and thhey are presumably good at their job. Its a brave move, and good luck to them.
