Course overview The IB Learner Profile

Bienvenidos al curso de Espaol B del Programa del Diploma de
IB! In this two-year course we will be working on developing our
Spanish proficiencies through learning about Spanish-speaking
cultures around the world. Our course will explore the IB core topics:
communication & media, global issues, and social relationships; as
well as the optional topics of leisure, customs and traditions, and
cultural diversity. All students will also read two literary pieces: La
casa de Bernarda Alba by Federico Garca Lorca and Crnica de
una muerte anunciada by Gabriel Garca Mrquez.
Spanish B explorations:
As IB Diploma Program students we will not only be
working to develop Spanish proficiency, we will also
work to become more critical consumers and
producers of information as well as global citizens.
We accomplish this by taking a holistic learning
approach that embraces the 10 traits of the IB learner
profile, fosters international mindedness, makes
connections across subject areas as well as beyond
the classroom, and refines metacognition skills.
