Joint Major - BA (Hons)English Language and TESOL.

They're both (in theory) equally weighted, not major/minor. In reality my classes were about 10% English, 30% TESOL 50% Linguistics and 10% Misc (Japanese, Dreamweaver, MySQL).

The humanities and social sciences category covers much more than the other categories, so it is going to get the most votes.
