Aiming to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect? If so, you may want to consider how to become an "Intercultural Speaker". Language B courses offer an exciting programme that allow you to benefit from both the academic and professional advantages of being bilingual. These courses will quickly develop your language skills as well as your knowledge and understanding of French, German and Hispanic culture and society. The syllabus for all language B’s is organised into five prescribed themes: identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organisation and sharing the planet. Knowledge of vocabulary and grammar (the what of language) is reinforced and extended by understanding audience, context, purpose, meaning and variation (the why and how of language). Students will be exposed to a variety of authentic text types in relation to the prescribed themes and related course content. Topics will develop from the context of the individual in society, to the consideration of more complex global, political, cultural, social, moral and ethical issues by the end of the second year, when you will be able to engage in discussion and debate. These topics or issues are then studied through a range of authentic media sources - television, press, radio, internet, film and through some literary texts and extracts and 2 pieces of literature are studied at HL. The IB curriculum offers a lot of flexibility with the literature and films choices and substantial parts of the content will vary depending on each year students' interests and motivations.
A mixture of at least 7 GCSEs at Grades 9 - 6 including English, Maths and Science.
Students are assessed both externally and internally: • External assessment consists of Paper 1: productive skills—writing (25%) and Paper 2: receptive skills (50%)—with separate sections for listening and reading. • Internal assessment at SL and HL consists of an individual oral assessment—productive and interactive skills (25%).
