English term or phrase: What’s in a name?
Trata-se de um título de um texto, segue abaixo o primeiro parágrafo.

There are numerous terms to describe the process of learning English. In many English-speaking countries it is often referred to as ‘English as an additional language’ or ‘English language learning’. The distinctive position in these contexts is for learners to acquire English alongside other subjects.
This approach has proved very popular in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK, where over 25 years of research has informed a political agenda that promotes inclusion. In other areas, such as the Middle East, the term ‘English as another language’ has been coined to reflect the notion of children from minority ethnic backgrounds, who already have experience of using their own home languages and are learning the official language of the country, as well as learning English.

Que importa o nome?


Explanation:
A expressão é uma referência a uma passagem de Romeu e Julieta, em que se questiona a importância da mera nomenclatura das coisas:

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title.
