English didactics covers the field of teaching English as a foreign language. Learning a language consists of acquiring language systems (vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar) and developing language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing). Additional skills might be considered as translation and acquisition of cultural awareness connected with the language that is being taught.
