IB Internal and external assessment requirements to be completed during the course Briefly explain how and when you will work on them. Include the date when you will first introduce the internal and external assessment requirements, when they will be due and how students will be prepared to complete them. Students will be assessed using the IBO rubrics, with which the students will be familiar with, as they will be used throughout the course. The rubrics will be used to assess students both internally and externally. Two oral activities will be internally assessed by the teacher and externally evaluated by IBO. 1. Individual Oral Assessment Based on stimulus chosen by the candidate 15% 2. Interactive Oral Assessment Based on mark of one interactive oral activity 15%
External Assessment 70% of overall grade Two written papers that will be externally evaluated by IBO. 1. Paper 1 Written Component 40% a. Reading Questions based on a number of written test 30% b. Writing Response Short writing exercise in response to written text 10% 2. Paper 2 Written Production 30% One writing task from a choice of four 30% Internal assessment Two oral activities to be internally assessed Individual Oral approximately 10 minutes Short interview with the teacher. Interactive Oral Activity During their course, students will be expected to take part in different types of oral activities as a way of Practicing new language structures and vocabulary. During the final year of the course, some of these activities should be used to assess the candidates oral skills The internal assessment has 2 components, an individual oral presentation as well as an interactive oral activity. Each of these will be prepared, developed, implemented and evaluated by the classroom IB English B teacher. Students will be introduced to the criteria for each of these early during the first year of the IB programme and throughout the course, the teacher will guide students as they develop the skills which they will need to be successful in these evaluations. Such skills will include: oral skills including presentation skills (speaking on a topic with a minimum of support material) and speaking skills (being able to respond to oral questions related to the themes of the course which ultimately leads to the ability to have an authentic conversation in English), listening skills, questioning, debating, and critical thinking abilities. For the interactive oral activity, the teacher will maintain a record of a number of activities (minimum of 3 are required) completed in class which satisfy the criteria and will submit the mark most favourable to the student. It could be expected that the student s best work would be done during the second year of the programme but this is not necessarily the case. The individual oral presentation will take place during the second year of the programme.
4. Links to TOK You are expected to explore links between the topics of your subject and TOK. As an example of how you would do this, choose one topic from your course outline that would allow your students to make links with TOK. Describe how you would plan the lesson. Topic School life Link with TOK (including description of lesson plan) To what extent does school life influence on the choice of the future profession? Students are suggested to read a letter about school life (between pen friends from different countries). During the reading they should find the author s reasons in the choice of the future profession. Students divide into two groups to discuss about the choice of the future profession from different positions. In fact, they should write a composition What kind of activity am I going to deal with? At the end they should answer the question if their point of the choice has changed? 5. International mindedness Every IB course should contribute to the development of international mindedness in students. As an example of how you would do this, choose one topic from your outline that would allow your students to analyse it from different cultural perspectives. Briefly explain the reason for your choice and what resources you will use to achieve this goal. Topic International migration Contribution to the development of international mindedness (including resources you will use) Students read the article about international migration.why do many people change their permanent place?

Where is it more comfortable to live n the view of psychology?
6. Development of the IB learner profile Through the course it is also expected that students will develop the attributes of the IB learner profile. As an example of how you would do this, choose one topic from your course outline and explain how the contents and related skills would pursue the development of any attribute(s) of the IB learner profile that you will identify. Topic International migration Contribution to the development of the attribute(s) of the IB learner profile Having read the article about international migration, students discuss this theme.
