Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because English is now one the most used language in fields like Education, Society, Politics and other and this article about the English studies is interesting and reading about the study of this language was easy as most courses I am taking are based on this topic.

Evaluate the article

 * This article talks about English studies and contains different parts which are all relevant to the article. However, the only thing that distracted me was the part which talked about the English departments. I think it should not be included in this section as the first paragraph is talking about the English studies not English departments. It would be better to include another paragraph for this topic.
 * The article talked about the English studies at high schools of different countries but did not talk about these studies at university level. I would recommend adding this section. Moreover, there was a section about the English major in the article. In my opinion, this section is the most important part of the article as it is covering the topic English studies and therefore more information should be added in this section. For instance, the author could discuss more about the education path to complete this degree or overview of main topics that are studied during this education.
 * Another thing that I think needs improvement is in the example of courses section. I think that the course need more explanation.
 * The article looks neutral. There is not any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position.
 * I did not see any serious viewpoints in the article.
 * Most of the given links work and seem reliable but few of them did not work. For instance, the link for the English Without borders project by Texas A&M University did not work. The sources do support claims in the article. One example of effective source that supports the section about the English in American high schools is "120 Years of American Education: A Statistical Portrait" by National Center of Education Statistics. It is great resource but I would suggest adding the pages of the used resources in the article.
 * Most of the resources are trustable because they are peer-reviewed writings from Universities. They sound neutral as there are very few viewpoints of authors in the writings.
