What is the difference between language A and language B?

Language A is your mother tongue (or a language you’re fluent in). You read and study literature written in that language or translated to that language. Language B is a language you’ve studied before but you’re not necessarily fluent or it’s not your first language. I’m not familiar with Language B because my school doesn’t offer any classes, but I think if you were bilingual, you could take Language A and Language B. Language B is a group 2 (language acquisition) class, so it would probably be your second language that you’d take at that level. It’s also a big step up from Language ab initio which is just learning the language. According to the IBO website, you would learn a lot about the culture and read literature in that language.

Here’s the IBO pages on Language A (literature, language and literature) and Language B. Hope this helped! Sorry I don’t know more :(

Starting to get very nervous for my English Oral on Tuesday. For anyone who has done their Language A oral, do you have any advice?

NEW RULE: LATENESS

Students not submitting a piece of work on time will attract a one grade per day penalty on assessment tasks.

I am aware, however, that students have many commitments and things that sometimes get in the way. This is why I will be giving students three ‘Extension’ passes. If you need to hand in something late, you can use a pass to hand it in the next day, with no hit to your grades. You can use one pass per day. If I take longer than a month to get a completed assessment task back to you, then everyone gets 1 (one) extra pass.

Underneath, draw your favorite scene from the story - make sure you're doing your best work, we'll be sharing them with the class.
