The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma English course is designed to develop competent communicators who possess a solid conceptual understanding of the language. The course is flexible and ensures thorough coverage of the updated English B Guide, catering to the needs of all IB students at Standard and Higher Level.

The primary objective is to empower students to communicate confidently by exploring the five prescribed themes through authentic texts and skills practice at the appropriate level. Clear learning pathways are provided to facilitate the learning process. The course aims to develop students' ability to produce coherent written texts and deliver proficient presentations with grammar and vocabulary introduced in context and relevant to various spoken and written registers.

Receptive skills are enhanced through authentic written texts, audio recordings spoken at a natural pace, and carefully crafted reading and listening tasks. Global citizenship, intercultural understanding, and an appreciation of English cultures are promoted through a wide range of text types and cultural material from around the world. Effective practice is delivered through structured tasks within each unit, fostering reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills.

Meaningful links to the TOK (Thinking, Knowledge, and Skills) and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) frameworks are established, and learner profile attributes are identified in action. Answers to the exercises and teaching notes are available in the digital Boost Core subscription, along with one recorded audio track that can be downloaded for free from www.hoddereducation.com/ibextras.
