The ability to communicate in more than one language is essential to the IB’s concept of an international education.
Language development encourages students to improve their proficiency in a language other than their best language.
Language development ensures that all students have access and are exposed to an additional language, which is a central tenet of an IB education and will increase their understanding of the wider world. Students are encouraged to begin or extend the study of a language other than their best language that suits their needs, background and context. It develops students in the areas of oral, visual and written linguistic and communicative abilities.
A minimum of 50 hours is expected to be devoted to language development. To support you with this you will be allocated a linguist mentor who will meet with you every 2 weeks (during the Personal & Professional Skills lesson) to monitor your progress and guide your development.

All IB Career-related Programme (CP) students are required to maintain and complete a language portfolio. The language portfolio demonstrates your ability, engagement and evidence of language development, a component of the CP core. It is used to chart your progress in developing language skills and intercultural experiences while providing an opportunity for you to develop reflective practice.
