The aim is to acquaint students with a broadly defined concept of English literary culture, including its history, major trends, critical schools and, of course, its most representative works and authors. 

The works of authors from different periods and from different parts of the English-speaking world will be analysed (England, the US, Scotland, Ireland, Canada). Social and cultural phenomena in 21st-century films will also be explored.

The aim is to train students in various fields of applied linguistics such as individual differences in language learning, sociolinguistics, contrastive linguistics and language technology, bilingualism, multilingualism and language acquisition, English as a global language, lexicography and terminology, and corpus linguistics. 

The development of research skills in these fields is supported by courses in qualitative and quantitative research methods and statistics.

The main focus of this specialization module is on modern political ideologies and international relations in the context of the society and culture of English-speaking countries. 

Political ideologies such as nationalism, feminism, democracy and totalitarianism in an Anglo-Saxon context will be explored in depth, along with the international relations between Hungary and the English-speaking world and the global engagement of English-speaking countries. 

Courses are also offered on historiography, historical memory, cancel culture, modern spirituality and culture, utopia and dystopia. Social and cultural phenomena in 21st-century films will also be explored.
