"Language development is designed to ensure that all students have access to, and are exposed to, a second language
that will assist and further their understanding of the wider world. Students are encouraged to extend or begin a second
language that suits their needs, background and context. Language development aims to provide students with the
necessary skills and intercultural understanding to enable them
to communicate in an environment where the language studied
is spoken. This process encourages learners to expand their
awareness of the world and fosters respect for cultural
diversity," (www.ibo.org). Language
Reflective Development
Through the Language Development component of the IBCP Project
core, all students will complete a language development
portfolio over the course of their junior and senior
years. Students must spend a minimum of 50 concurrent hours
Approaches to Community
(over the two years) on tasks related to their language Learning and Service
development portfolio. This portfolio will incorporate language
development tasks to enable students to reflect on their
experiences, and to document evidence of their growing skill
base. Because each student will have his or her own knowledge
and understanding of the language and culture to be studied,
IBCP will utilize the IB MYP framework of language phases in
order to assess progress toward language goals.
Progress towards completion of the Language Development component of the IBCC core will be monitored by the
mentors, as well as by the IBCC Coordinators and ATL teacher. Please see below for more details on assessment.
