Unfortunately, English Wikipedia may not be a great place for non-native speakers to learn. From what I have observed as a reader, not many students, apart from those who are native speakers, can understand fully what those articles (even featured or good articles) are about. Some might feel dizzy when taking a first glance.
You, probably as a native speaker, may suggest them to visit the Simple English Wikipedia or their native language's Wikipedia. From my point of view, you must know that there are not many articles in their respective native Wikipedia pages. There are 6,818,981 articles in this Wikipedia. Compared wuth 134,749 in Simple and 1,011,044 in Chinese (for example)[1], many readers will refer to the English Version as the information will be more comprehensive.
Currently, I disagree that other Wikipedias (excluding the English one) is very useful, expect articles which talk about something closely related to the speakers of the languages. It takes time to gradually develop the system. Before that, it is likely that those students need to adapt to learning more difficult vocabulary.[2]
Just like when you're looking at Murray MacLehose, Baron MacLehose of Beoch (30,654 bytes), you will probably refer to the Chinese article, which has 250,064 bytes[3].
