Why Major in 英语?
"I chose BC’s 英语 程序 because of the robust course offerings and the relevancy of the professors. The diversity in specialties, along with the contemporary work being produced, was invaluable to me as a creative."
英语 Language Learning (ELL)
The 程序 for 英语 Language Learning (ELL) supports undergraduate students from linguistically diverse backgrounds in their mastery of 英语. During their first year, students can take a linked sequence of two 英语 courses that fulfill core requirements. Students place into the sequence after completing the 英语 language assessment during the summer before their first year.
The fall ENGL 1009 First Year Writing Seminar for ELL (ENGL 1009) provides students with important linguistic support to meet the rhetorical and grammatical challenges they face in writing.
The spring 文学的核心 for ELL (ENGL 1079) builds on the skills learned in ENGL 1009 and provides students the opportunity to explore literature in a small group setting (limited to 15) as they continue to refine their 英语 writing skills.
For those students in ENGL 1009 and 1079 sections in need of individualized language support, the ELL Writing Specialist 程序 pairs students with a trained specialist during the semester. Each student meets weekly with her specialist to discuss ongoing writing assignments. (Students are referred to the program by their instructors.)

“What I love most about the 英语 program is the kindness I have received from everyone here. At first, I doubted whether I would perform well, since I was unconfident about my 英语. But whenever I met obstacles, there was always someone there to support me. I fall more and more in love with 英语 Literature as I learn more.”

“Growing up in a bilingual household made learning 英语 or Spanish completely a difficult task. I enrolled in the 英语 minor because I saw it as a great opportunity to improve my comprehension, but I stayed once I realized there were courses and resources that allowed me to explore how having a background in more than one language can be beneficial.”
