WHY STUDY A SECOND LANGUAGE ALONGSIDE ENGLISH? It is a requirement of the programme that students study at least one subject from Group 2. The main emphasis of the modern language courses is on the acquisition and use of language in a range of contexts and for different purposes while, at the same time, promoting an understanding of another culture through the study of its language. LANGUAGE B (HL AND SL) CONTENT OF COURSE: These are language acquisition courses for students with some previous experience of learning the language. While studying the language, students also explore the culture connected with it. The recommended teaching hours, the syllabus coverage, the required study of literature at HL, and the level of difficulty within the assessment tasks and criteria differentiate the Higher and Standard levels. The range of purposes and situations for using language in the language B courses extends well beyond those for Language ab initio. The course is also organised into five themes: identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organisation, sharing the planet.
For entry to the Sixth Form (and UC4), an interview is an absolute requirement and will inform the decision to offer a place or not. While general the interview will seek to explore a candidate's academic and co-curricular interests, attitude to school, personal qualities, and ability to contribute to the College community.
