Language Arts is the name given to the study and improvement of the arts of language. Traditionally, the primary divisions in language arts are literature and language, where language in this case refers to both linguistics, and specific languages. — Wikipedia
Literature is any collection of written work, but it is also used more narrowly for writings specifically considered to be an art form, especially prose fiction, drama, and poetry. Literature, as an art form, can also include works in non-fiction genres, such as biography, diaries, memoir, letters, and essays. — Wikipedia
