The IB English A: Language and Literature course at Washington International School in Taichung develops students' ability to critically analyze, evaluate, and communicate ideas across a wide range of literary and non-literary texts. Exploring themes such as dystopia, power, identity, and historical representation, students engage with novels, graphic novels, plays, films, and media to deepen their understanding of how language shapes meaning. Through textual analysis, comparative essays, and oral presentations, they refine research, writing, and critical thinking skills. Emphasizing global perspectives, ethical considerations, and intertextual connections, the course fosters IB learner profile attributes such as inquiry, open-mindedness, and reflection while preparing students for university-level discourse.
