Language B
The primary aim of Language B (English, French and Chinese) in the MYP is to encourage students to gain competence in a modern language other than their mother tongue, with the long-term goal of balanced bilingualism. Students will develop their use of language(s) as a means of practical communication, providing a sound base of communication skills necessary for future study, work and leisure. Language B involves the integration of linguistic, cultural and social components to enable the student to develop an appreciation of a variety of literary and non-literary texts and offer insight into the cultural characteristics of the communities where the language is spoken.
In MYP Language B the students are assessed in five areas:
- Criterion A: Oral Communication – Message And Interaction
- Criterion B: Oral Communication – Language
- Criterion C: Writing- Message And Organization
- Criterion D: Writing – Language
- Criterion E: Reading Comprehension
