or teach first as local subject

In terms of course offerings, as you know this can change slightly every two years and is listed in the Assessment Procedures document (https://resources.ibo.org/dp/ap/dp-2018/works/DP_AP_2018?root=1.7.4.16.21).  For Language A Literature, for example Kazakh is not listed, however might be able to be a “special request.” 

Unfortunately there is no such special request service available for Language A: Language and Literature, nor any for language acquisition courses (B / ab initio).
