IB Language Acquisition Tutoring
At U4Success we offer English, German, Spanish, French and other language tutoring for students of all ages
In the International Baccalaureate (IB) Language Acquisition is taught as part of the primary years program (PYP), middle years program (MYP) and diploma program (DP). It is an essential part of the IB that enables international education and understanding of different cultures.
About the MYP Language Acquisition
In the Middle Years Programme (MYP), language acquisition plays a vital role in helping students understand the intricacies of language, culture, and diverse ways of life. As a mandatory component of the MYP, language acquisition requires schools to offer sustained language learning in at least two languages each year. It is through language acquisition that students affirm their identity by developing communication skills in various modes.
Language acquisition holds great significance in providing an international education, as it enables students to communicate effectively in multiple languages. This course presents students with linguistic and academic challenges, ensuring an enriching educational experience. Students have the opportunity to progress through different phases of language acquisition, enabling them to reach their full language-learning potential.
MYP language acquisition structure:
- The language acquisition curriculum is structured into six phases, not necessarily tied to specific age groups or MYP year levels.
- Students can enter at any phase based on their prior experiences and exit at any point along the continuum.
- The MYP eAssessment system evaluates language acquisition courses, offering IB-validated grades through international moderation of student work documented in ePortfolios. These portfolios showcase reading, writing, viewing, and speaking skills, and students receive fluency-based results: emergent, capable, or proficient.
About the DP Language Acquisition
In the language acquisition programme, students are required to choose at least one subject from group 2.
The focus of the modern language courses lies in acquiring and using language in various contexts and for different purposes. Simultaneously, these courses aim to foster an appreciation and understanding of another culture by delving into the study of its language.
IB DP language acquisition structure:
To cater to students’ interests and prior language learning experiences, three subjects are available. The first two subjects offer multiple language options to choose from.
Modern Languages:
- Language ab initio courses are standard level courses designed for beginners who possess little to no prior experience in the language they have chosen.
- Language B courses, on the other hand, target students with some previous experience in the language. These courses can be studied at either the higher or standard level.
Classical Languages:
- Latin or Classical Greek coursework provides students with the opportunity to explore the language, literature, and culture of ancient Rome or Greece.
- By selecting from this diverse range of language courses, students can embark on their language learning journey, catering to their individual levels of proficiency and interests. These courses not only facilitate language acquisition but also encourage a deeper appreciation and understanding of different cultures through the study of their languages.
