5 Introduction the purpose of this handbook is to offer parents, guardians and students an overview of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme courses offered at Busan International Foreign school for grades 11 and 12. each year, the school reviews and examines the available IB courses and determines the most viable and appropriate curriculum options. For the exam cohort, the school has done everything possible to take into consideration the potential and future plans of IB Diploma students, IB course students and students in our own curriculum (that utilizes the content and pedagogical methodology of the Diploma Programme) in order to provide a rich, holistic and international educational experience. For further information, please refer to the International Baccalaureate organization website at contact the BIFs IBDP coordinator or contact the individual subject teachers. International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at BIFS the IB Diploma Programme provides the basis for our pedagogical approach and subject content in grades 11 and 12. as an IB World school, our students have the opportunity to partake in the IB Diploma Programme or the IB Diploma courses program. each program provides a challenging, rewarding and college-preparatory course of study where, upon successful completion and external moderation, students may be able to apply for college or university credit at their tertiary institution. the subjects are designated into six groups : language a : native or Fluent language language B : second language Individuals and societies experimental sciences Mathematics the arts Most subjects are offered at standard level (sl) and higher level (hl) except where noted. the main difference between the two courses is amount and level of content, assessment criteria and time allotted for study of the subject. In all cases, higher level classes require more time, commitment and engagement from the student. higher level classes are more likely to be accepted by colleges and universities as undergraduate advanced credit. If a student pursues the IB Diploma Programme, the student must abide by certain rules and regulations in order to receive the full diploma. Please contact the BIFs IBDP coordinator or consult the IBo website for further details. IB Diploma & course Descriptions 3

Korean language and literature is for students who wish to continue developing their academic language in Korean and become academically bilingual. the language a courses comprise of four parts - two relate to the study of language and two to the study of literature. a key aim of the language a - language and literature course is to encourage students to question the meaning generated by language and texts. helping students to focus closely on the language of the texts they study and to become aware of the role of each text s wider context in shaping its meaning is central to the course. Wider aims of the courses are the development of an understanding of critical literacy. In view of the international nature of the IB and its commitment to intercultural understanding, the courses do not limit the study of texts to the products of one culture or of the cultures covered by any one language. Language A School Supported Self Taught Literature SL the language a courses comprises of four parts - two relate to the study of language and two to the study of literature. students need to be proactive and highly motivated to make a success of this independent course of study. It is required that students find a tutor outside of school. It is possible that the school may be able to help find a tutor, but it is not the responsibility of the school to do so. the tutor will be paid by the parent. the school will help the tutor by providing the appropriate IBo materials, such as syllabus and literature-in-translation lists. the ideal tutor will be familiar with the IB program and preferably in country. however, students have had success working with online tutors from another country who are experienced IBo teachers. self-taught course aims to encourage student s appreciation of literature, to develop their capacity to read responsively and to give you the tools necessary to discuss and analyze literary texts. In this course students will explore techniques for reading responsively, key aspects of literary texts, terms and concepts useful for literary analysis, and the fundamental formats of literary commentary and analysis (close reading, commentary, essay).

13 Theory of Knowledge theory of Knowledge is a critical, interdisciplinary course based upon a central epistemological question: how do we know what we know? through reflection, constructive dialogue, and critical study of multiple ways in which we acquire knowledge (the Ways of Knowing: language, sense perception, emotion, reason, imagination, faith, intuition, and memory), students develop an ongoing examination on the reliability, variability, and historicity of knowledge in areas of Knowledge: mathematics, the natural sciences, the human sciences, the arts, history, ethics, religious knowledge systems, and indigenous knowledge systems. the theory of Knowledge course encourages students to expand their ideological positions, develop solid argumentation skills and acknowledge multiple viewpoints, as well as the strengths and limitations, in the human search for knowledge. Extended Essay the extended essay is an approximately 4,000 word, self-directed essay on a focused topic from one of the Diploma Programme s subjects. as an in-depth research-based study, the essay promotes collegepreparatory research and writing skills, intellectual discovery and creativity. With the guidance of a supervisor, students select their own topic as well as their approach to conducting the appropriate research for the topic. the final product is a major piece of formally presented and assessed structured writing that confirms a student s scholarly abilities. Creativity, Action and Service In order to encourage students to partake in diverse activities outside of the classroom, the IB Diploma Programme requires all students to participate in creativity, action and service. guided by eight learning outcomes that foster reflection and personal growth, students should participate in a variety of creative activities (art, music, drama or other areas where artistic conceptualization is at the forefront), action activities (team sports, individual sports, personal activity goals, or other areas where the student is doing or performing ), and service activities (actions that provide a sense of giving without self-interest or personal gain). student-directed, cas activities are limited only by the imagination, skill and personal desire of the individual participant. the cas supervisor supports students in their endeavours and facilitates the management of the IB requirements and guidelines. students are encouraged to meet with the cas supervisor regularly to seek out cas opportunities, to collaborate with other IB students and to ensure the eight learning outcomes are met.

Due to this, the IBDP is a highly demanding program and requires a strong academic background, dedication, and a formidable set of study skills. the following application assesses a student s academic background and qualities in order to provide the student and parent/guardian with a realistic understanding of the prerequisites of the IBDP as well as to recommend them the most suitable course of study here at BIFs. We look forward to receiving your application. Kind regards, Daun c. Yorke BIFs IBDP coordinator & school curriculum Director dyorke@bifskorea.org 12 Busan International Foreign school

16 Considerations and Expectations as a highly demanding course of study, the full IB Diploma Program requires a number of considerations for both parents/guardians and students. students and parents/guardians who wish to pursue the DP Program should take into account the following: 1. commitment : students should be committed to completing the full two-year course at BIFs. since every school has the autonomy to choose its own subjects and how they are taught, moving from one IB school to another midway through a course is complicated and, at times, unmanageable. 2. Independent, self-directed learner : the DP requires certain tasks (extended essay, cas) to be completed with minimal support or direction from teachers or supervisors. students should reflect upon their abilities to accomplish projects and tasks autonomously. 3. organization and effective time Management : one of the more challenging aspects of the DP is time management and organization. IBDP students take 6 college preparatory course as well as theory of Knowledge, write an extended essay of 4,000 words and participate in creativity, action and service. students need to be able to manage their subjects, the work load, the assessment items and their extracurricular activities effectively. 4. homework expectations : the DP course requires a significant amount of content and learning tasks to be covered as homework. students should expect between two to two and a half hours of homework per night. although the IB team at BIFs will do whatever it can to minimize overloading students with work, at certain busier points during the year, this homework load may increase significantly. 5. english Proficiency : although students pursue the development of two languages in the IBDP, english is the language of instruction at BIFs. thus, students must have a level of academic english that provides them the opportunity to engage in scholarly work in all subjects. 14 Busan International Foreign school
