Sorry, I cannot parse "English language and usage", at least, a similar phrase in Russian would be ungrammatical.

In the phrase "English Language and Usage", "English" is most definitely an adjective. The reason you're confused is because the phrase relies on implication.
Rephrase as "[the] English language and usage [of the English language]" and It should be clearer this way. The ending preposition is not used because it is overly verbose and somewhat redundant.
