Content and Language Mastery

Students will be exposed to comprehension, summary and critical thinking passages that cover a wide range of general knowledge topics and current affairs to help them develop a global perspective and build their content knowledge for use in their essays.

These topics include:

• Politics and economics
• Sport and entertainment
• Global issues and social trends

Students will learn how to employ different literary techniques to elevate their writing and better convey their intent.

IP students will also be introduced to a new component – the Application Question – and trained in the examination requirements for this component.

Skills and Techniques

Through our weekly lessons, students will hone reading and writing skills that are essential for academic excellence.

These include:

• Improving comprehension skills by applying close reading strategies to make more accurate inferences on authorial intent
• Building on foundational summary skills through the introduction of new paraphrasing techniques and grammar transformations
• Bolstering writing skills to include descriptive language and construct cogent responses that meet question requirements
• Enhancing skills in literary analysis and critical reading by examining literary techniques and stylistic devices used in unseen poetry and prose

Students are also trained in their time management skills through practice tests in simulated exam conditions.
