An important aim of studies in language and literature courses is to relate the reading experience to aspects of the students’ contexts. The internal assessment, for example, with its emphasis on the connection between themes and attitudes in the texts and current global issues, encourages students to meaningfully apply and transfer the understanding gained in the classroom to the reality of their world. This might translate into a willingness to commit themselves to a CAS experience or project which addresses a global issue in a local context.

It is intended to promote advanced research and writing skills, intellectual discovery, critical thinking and creativity.

1. TOK CONNECTION: In relating their studies to TOK, students become aware of the fact that although language and literature offer a powerful means of access to knowledge, they are nonetheless a  construction rather than a perfectly mimetic representation of life and reality.

Additionally, in becoming more aware of the perspectives of others through their studies, students develop a stronger sense of their own individual viewpoints, such as their position in time and place. The reflection this prompts creates strong links with TOK.
In language A courses students are constantly engaged with inquiry, critical thinking and reflection as they explore how meaning is generated in texts

show empathy, compassion and respect for other people (caring)

recognize interdependence among people and between people and the world in which they live (balanced)
