ENGLISH B
The English B Standard Level (SL) and English B Higher Level (HL) courses are language acquisition subjects for students with some previous experience of the English language.
The distinction between English B SL and HL has to do with the number of recommended teaching hours, the level of competency the student is expected to develop in receptive, productive and interactive skills, and that HL students are required to study two literary works originally written in English. A B2 level is recommended to study English B HL.
The English B syllabus is organized into five prescribed themes: Identities, Experiences, Human Ingenuity, Social Organization and Sharing the Planet.
