The IBDP Chinese A: Language and Literature course at WIST develops students' critical thinking and analytical skills through the study of diverse literary and non-literary texts. Students explore themes such as media and power (1984 by George Orwell, Taiwanese political propaganda), identity in the digital age (HUSH’s Entertainment, Instagram posts), global issues (The Man with the Compound Eyes by Wu Ming-yi, ESG advertisements), adaptation (Thunderstorm by Cao Yu, Curse of the Golden Flower by Zhang Yimou), and historical memory (Human Acts by Han Kang, Gwangju Uprising documentaries). The course integrates Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Approaches to Learning (ATL), and global perspectives, encouraging students to examine language, culture, and communication in various contexts.
