In the field of English Literature, studies focus on the literature of Britain, America, Ireland, and other English-speaking countries. The genres covered range from poetry, fiction, and drama to literary criticism, translation and theory. Study involves close readings of individual works and writers, and research in the social and intellectual trends of each period. In particular, the importance of Christian culture as an inspiration and source of literary activity is stressed.    In the field of English Linguistics and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), descriptive and theoretical studies are made of syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonology, discourse analysis, and second language learning. In-depth analyses are made of data on English and English language learning, and their theoretical implications are studied. The ultimate goal of this research is to discover the general properties of human language and language learning.
