Course Description:
IB English A is a Group 1 course of the IB Diploma Program. This course aims “to develop in students skills of textual analysis and the understanding that texts, both literary and non-literary, can be seen as autonomous yet simultaneously related to culturally determined reading practices. An understanding of the ways in which formal elements are used to create meaning in a text, is combined with an exploration of how that meaning is affected by reading practices that are culturally defined and by the circumstances of production and reception.” (Language & Literature IBO guide). Please see the IB Subject Brief for more detailed information regarding the course.
