I don't think that students speaking to each other should be required to speak English if they are not disturbing the class or interupting the lecture. I would think that would be a matter of common courtesy. However, in college or university, the professor may have his or her own rules in the class. For example, I teach a night class from 6-9 pm. It does not bother me if my students bring food and eat quietly during class because I know they work during the day, have driven to class, and otherwise might not get a chance to eat. If a student brought crunchy chips, or noisy wrappers, I might ask that they not eat during class so as not to disturb other students. I think that would be my right in the class I am teaching. If not speaking English has become an issue, ask the person teaching why it is an issue, and what can be done to resolve it.
