Alternatively isn't wrong about English aims (7)
I believe the answer is:
orients
'aims' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'alternatively isn't wrong about english' is the wordplay.
'alternatively' becomes 'or'.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'isnt' is an anagram of 'ints'.
'ints' going around 'e' is 'ients'.
'or'+'ients'='ORIENTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orients that I've seen before include "Lines up" , "Sets to face east" , "finds new position?" , "Determines position of" , "Positions" .)
