Language & Literature and Language Acquisition, DP Group 2

"Through Language & Literature, students are able to develop:

  • a personal appreciation of language and literature
  • critical-thinking skills in their interaction with a range of texts from different periods, styles, text-types and literacy forms
  • an understanding of the formal, stylistic and aesthetic qualities of texts
  • strong powers of expression, both written and oral
  • an appreciation of cultural differences in perspective
  • an understanding of how language challenges and sustains ways of thinking.

Through studies in language and literature, the DP aims to develop a student's lifelong interest in language and literature, and a love for the richness of human expression." (via IBO)
