Comparaive Study of Literature, Language and Media Studies in Britain and The U.S.A.

这个项目试图调查英国和美国这两个当今世界上最具影响力的英语国家的文学、语言和媒体研究在学术和教育领域是如何进行的。我们得出的结论是，在英国文化协会和BBC的帮助下，英国制定了各种媒体战略，利用英语作为“世界语言”的主导地位，通过广播、电视和互联网传递信息。英国的媒体教育最近也融入了用文学文本教授英语的传统，这种方法已经复兴并迅速蓬勃发展。在美国，“文化研究”在许多领域仍然很强大，而最先进的技术已经进入了相关的教学学科，这些学科也积极地对这些社会和学术变化提出了问题。因此，我们确认，由于文学、语言和媒体的研究往往受到当代社会变化的很大影响，特别是受到这两个有影响力的英语国家的影响，我们应该时刻警惕这些国家的未来发展。

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.
