Kampung Inggris Bandung E-PLC –  Akronim adalah kumpulan kata yang dibentuk dari mengambil Huruf pertamanya saja dari masing-masing kata. Akronim memudahkan kita untuk menyingkat suatu kata yang cukup panjang. Akronim biasanya digunakan dalam bahasa sehari-hari dan bahkan lebih cepat dipahami dari pada kepanjangan akronim itu sendiri.
