The course of English is divided into two categories –
- Higher level.
- Standard level.
One needs to take a deep interpretation of the subject and the syllabus. The paper-wise breakdown of the syllabus factors in the most. One can take a free trial class. The IB tutors have a perfect way of exploring the different papers and different concepts in the syllabus.
Structure
In the IB Curriculum all the languages are offered in three ways : one is literature, the second one is language and literature and the last one is literature and performance and all these 3 components have SL and HL components to it. So in total there are four combinations of the subject that the student can take.
In these following sections we will explore the paper wise breakdown of the subject with two different levels of HL and SL. The IB English Tutors in Chennai by the IB Ace Academy will teach you paper wise strategies for the same.
In spite of these exams there are various other external assessments in the IB English subject. For literature and performance, the Paper 2 is not tested and it is substituted with another external task which we talk about in the IA section.

The IB tutors encourage the students to take up the following tasks-
- Reading as many books as you can
English is all about reading and understanding the context of the topic. Unlike physics, chemistry does not have a lot of concepts, except for some of the concepts of grammar. Grammar forms the building blocks of the English language. Grammar plays a very important role in the English language as the construction of the sentence only is based on grammar. Without grammar, we cannot even construct a single sentence!
The IB tutors at Chennai take separate classes for grammar to ensure that a proper foundation is being laid before going any further.
Many students face challenges here as IB English is on a different level altogether owing to its international standard.
The expert faculty at IB conducts a separate session for resolving all the doubts of the students. They do not go further unless and until the doubts of every student are resolved.
English is offered as a subject in language and the literature section.
Thus, it is important to read as many books as you can to get accustomed to the vocabulary.
- Looking at specific concepts through the past papers
The IB examination board follows a particular pattern while setting any paper. The biggest blunder a student can make is studying the chapters individually. In this entire process, the students get so caught up in studying the chapters one by one that they forget about focusing on the value of the past papers. The IB examiners follow a tailor-made approach while setting the questions every year. They make sure that no questions are repeated.
The IB tutors first gauge the degree of toughness of each paper or each question and then ask the students to study according to the strategy made by them. They can pave the path for your success, all you have to do is work extremely hard and follow the path.
One of the toughest tasks to do in the IB Diploma program is formulating techniques for better time management. The IB English tutors at the Ace Academy help the students tackle this problem.
- Practicing through various textbooks and availing all the data at your fingertips
It is an overrated notion that textbooks have become old-fashioned in a way. However, one should give equal emphasis to textbooks as well as the other study material as textbooks are the blueprint for any subject. There are more than 7 publications that offer a high-quality IB syllabus. The e-books and publications are offered to the students to get a good grasp of the subject so that they practice well.
The IB Ace Academy at Chennai also has an entire database dedicated to only the study material related to English. They have various updated booklets. The students have the access to all the study material in their database.
With their valuable guidance, one can succeed.
You can also avail a free class!
