Language arts refers to the class of art forms, including novels, poetry, songs and others, that focus on the creation of art works which are primarily language based. The language arts are distinguished from other classes such as performing arts, visual arts, and culinary arts. The definition is not strict, and many art forms have aspects of the language arts as well other types of art. In colleges and universities this field is often referred to as "English studies."
In the United States
In the United States, language arts teachers are charged with the instruction of reading and writing, including instruction on vocabulary and grammar. Much emphasis in recent years has been put on preparing students for standardized testing. Thus the focus has shifted from literature exposure and appreciation toward test taking skills and critical reading for proficiency. More on [ Language arts ]
