Language B is a language acquisition course designed for students with some previous experience of the target language. Students further develop their ability to communicate through the study of language, themes, and texts. There are five prescribed themes: identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organization, and sharing the planet.
Both language B SL and HL students learn to communicate in the target language in familiar and unfamiliar contexts. The distinction between language B SL and HL can be seen in the level of competency the student is expected to develop in receptive, productive, and interactive skills.
