Is there a difference between English and literature classes?

Other than in high school, English and Literature classes are considered to be different types of classes. English classes teach you how to write and teach you the etymology and history of the English language. Literature classes teach you to read and understand works of literature. Strictly speaking they are two different types of classes.
To give you an example, you could take a Spanish literature class and never learn anything about English.

For English, you study composition. Essentially, you’re learning how to build sentences and how/when to use each piece to form the perfect one. In English, you tend to write many essays that are suppose to help you in improve sentence formation. The more you read and the more you write, logic dictates you should be a better writer.
Dove tailing from that literature deals with analyzing writing. In literature, you are trying to find out what the writer is trying to convey to the reader. Such things as style, tone and character development are analyzed to determine the plot.
Ultimately, when you break it down, English teaches you to write better, literature teaches you to analyze what you read.
