IBDP ENGLISH LANGUAGE B PREP. PROGAMME

Our English Language Acquisition Programme is designed to help students learn how to critically study and interpret written and spoken texts from a wide range of literary and non literary genres.

 

The programme gives students a thorough understanding of what is required for Papers 1 & 2 of the exam.  

 

Strong focus is put on question types that my appear in paper 1.  

Examples of these types are:

​

• Choosing which of a number of sentences are true according to the text
• Gap-filling exercises based on comprehension of the text
• Identifying clear inference from concepts (for example, “The text says that 60% of people think. What does this mean with regards to the remaining 40%?”)

• Identifying precise references of key phrases or structures (for example, “In line x, to whom does the word ‘they’ refer?”)

• Identifying related ideas that are in different parts of the text

• Identifying specific content items

• Identifying whether an explanation or definition is true or false, and finding the evidence for this in the text

​

For Paper 2, students learn a variety of text types that include, but are not limited to:

​

• Article, column
• Blog
• Brochure, leaflet, flyer, pamphlet, advertisement
• Essay
