Grade 11
IB English A: Language & Literature SL (Year 1)
The first year of the IB Diploma Programme Language and Literature course. We study literary works alongside non-literary texts (speeches, advertisements, articles, and more), examining how meaning is shaped by language, context, and audience. Year 1 builds the analytical foundations and skills we'll carry into the Individual Oral and Papers 1 and 2.
