English/Language Arts II is the standard sophomore English at 33%, following the same near-universal pattern: almost every student takes a full year of English.
Sophomore year is where the genre survey widens. World and British literature join American, and many families begin a multi-year literature sequence here. That structure is the point: a deliberate progression, for example American in 11th and British in 12th, reads as a designed curriculum.
The way to stand out in a universal subject is coherence. Four scattered years all labeled "English" say little; a named genre progression paired with steady composition says a great deal. Record each course by the literature it actually covered.
A second year, usually labeled English or Language Arts II, often with a literature focus such as American, British, or World literature.
Four years is the standard expectation at nearly every college, so sophomore English is one step in a planned four-year sequence.
