As for academic level, I'll say two majors. The first is the theory of curriculum teaching. This major is available in both the College of Education and the College of English. If you want to be an English teacher and don't want to take a major, this major can also be considered. Another major is comparative education. The main research directions of comparative pedagogy are comparative cultural inheritance and education, cross-cultural education, comparative school education, comparative study of ethnic education issues, comparative study of educational systems and policies, and comparative study of educational sociology. Because there are many opportunities to go abroad, if many English majors want to cross the pedagogy exam, this major can also be considered.
People with good English are the people the teacher wants! Moreover, many fields of pedagogy need people with English background, such as comparative higher education, foreign education history and so on. Don't say that if you don't learn English well, there will be no good foundation. Four years' accumulation is better than those who have never studied English. Believe me, because I was not confident before, I came to graduate school later to have a deep understanding.
These two majors are very good. English majors can engage in teaching, foreign trade and translation. However, I think and understand that there is no counterpart work in undergraduate education. Because this subject is unprofessional and theoretical. If you are interested, you can continue to study and do theoretical research, so your education is better than postgraduate entrance examination.
As for the adjustment, there is no need to consider too many adjustments in the school selection stage. After all, there are too many uncertainties in adjustment. What you should consider more is how to get a higher score, because whether you enter the second interview directly or through adjustment, the initial test results must meet certain requirements. Finally, whether you choose English or English language and literature, you should consider carefully and choose a major that is easier to land. If you are not sure, you can do the real questions of English and English language and literature majors first to see which major you are more suitable for.
