Alot of English Degrees are definitely more Literature Based, although, they do have Language Elements within their Courses.

In regards to English and French, usually it is 50:50, or sometimes what they do is that the subject that comes first in the Course Name, here that would be English, will be more predominant.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more Questions!
