| Research Abstract |
This project tried to investigate how the studies of literature, language and media are performed in academic and educational field in Britain and the U.S., the most influential English-speaking countries in the present world.
Britain has developed, we came to conclude, various media strategies with the aid of the British Council and BBC, sending out messages through radio, TV and the Internet, taking advantage of the dominant position of English as the 'world language'. British media education has also recently incorporated the tradition of teaching English with literary texts, the methodology that have revived and is flourishing rapidly. In the U.S., "cultural studies" is still strong in many fields while the state-of-the-art technologies have found their way into the relevant pedagogical disciplines that also actively problematize those social and academic changes.
We confirmed, as a result, that since the studies of literature, language and media tend to be greatly affected by contemporary social changes, and specifically by those in these two influential English-speaking countries, we should always be alert to the future development in these countries.
