Academic Characteristic
The study of the English language is a discipline that deals with an overall knowledge of English and involves a curriculum that addresses the four major functions of the language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It should also provide the necessary knowledge to prepare individuals in both human relations and the industrial arena to use the world's official language as a member of the international community. Literature and linguistic texts in English as well as applied studies in English education and practical English skills are complex fields, and an extensive organization with various academic fields such as English linguistics, pedagogy, psychology, and cultural anthropology must be taken into consideration
