Is IB English A: Language and Literature a good fit for high school students in Grades 9-12?
IB English A: Language and Literature is a good fit for students in grades 9-12 who are interested in the language of advertising and how context changes meaning. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make analyses of unfamiliar texts and comparative essays revised for evidence.
Non-literary texts such as advertisements, speeches, and articles are read alongside literary works such as novels and poems. Following the course's areas of exploration, students study how writers' choices shape a reader's interpretation, how time and culture change meaning, and how texts connect to one another. They write analyses of unfamiliar texts and comparative essays, and rework any interpretation whose evidence is thin. Alongside the score, the student builds the academic evidence an application can use: how they applied a core idea, why an answer failed, and how they revised it.
