I heard that English Language is MORE competitive. But I could be wrong.
I do both subjects, and personally I prefer English Language, but I'm really into grammar and all that so that might just be me. I'd say that English Language is less subjective than English, as it is more 'sciencey'.
But don't choose a subject based on 'easiness', because remember if a subject is 'easy', chances are it'll be 'easy' for the rest of the state too.
Eng Lang gets scaled up by around about 1, I believe.
If you're a more sciencey person, English Language may be the way to go. If you are good at analysing texts and stuff like that, maybe choose English. But remember that one of them has to be in your top 4. Oh, and there's also Literature.
