Communication and understanding of others lie at the heart of the IBO mission statement. Studying another language and its culture in depth helps broaden your outlook and prepare you for the ever-changing world you will face when you leave school. Fostering international cooperation will be essential, and a good grasp of a second language is fundamental in achieving this. Whichever language you choose, you will develop your: • Communication and intrapersonal skills • Comprehension and production of a variety of text styles • Ability to make articulate presentations • Refinement of research and analytical skills • In-depth knowledge of a variety of other cultures and societies and of international affairs
If you wish to study another language at HL, we recommend 7 or above at GCSE. For SL, a 5 at GCSE is generally sufficient, while to take up a language ab initio, no previous knowledge is required.
Standard and Higher Level: External Assessment 75% Paper 1: Written response (25%) Paper 2: listening and reading comprehension (50%) Internal Assessment: 25% One oral examination, internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated by the IB. HL pupils face longer comprehension passages and must produce more lengthy written responses, in addition to studying literature, which is tested via oral examination.
