Longer answer:
"Language Arts"

Longer answer: in US corners of this field, common usage leans toward the abbreviation ELA, which is more prevalent at primary, middle school and secondary levels than in universities, where "English," "Literature," "Compositon," "Rhetoric" and similar designations continue to dominate.– Rob_SterCommented Feb 19, 2016 at 19:35

Good info, but capitalisation is not the same as abbreviation.– AntonCommented Feb 19, 2016 at 20:39

Capitalization reflects importance. Here you are referring to a course name and it has its importance with regard to students, so to bring that out "Language Arts" is done.
