There are many IB institutes all over the country. These institutes have a prescribed curriculum that needs to follow if you want to clear the examination with flying colours. Everyone knows that English is the most commonly used business language. This language plays a key role in uplifting the growth of an individual’s career and society. English is not the first language of many people and therefore many people find it difficult to adapt to this language. On top of that, IB English literature tends to be more difficult than the ICSE or the CBSE board. The curriculum is difficult because it needs to maintain international standards. The whole objective of the international board is to offer international-level education to the people who want to go abroad.

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 Mumbai 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 in Mumbai suggest the students put up with the following guidelines-
- Start reading the newspaper
Newspaper reading makes you acquainted with the current news happening in the country, provides coverage of the global news, weather forecasts and it also improves the reading skills of a person. There are some unprecedented scenarios wherein you don’t know which word or phrase to express your emotions. Reading a newspaper will improve your vocabulary and you will not struggle that much. Reading a newspaper also provides you with a great sense of educational value. It also keeps you abreast of all the latest trends, changes, developments in every arena. The IB tutors in Mumbai keep a separate hour for newspaper reading.
- Practicing through various textbooks
English has many sections such as passages, rapid reading, comprehension, composition, literature, etc. However, the foundation of the language can be only built upon Grammar. It is very important to know which tense to use when and which phrase would suit the conversation. The sentence construction is also based on grammar. The textbooks have the entire syllabus of the subject. The IB tutors make sure that the students are familiar with every nook and corner of the textbook. There are many other materials such as E-books for understanding various topics in a better manner. There are more than 7 publications that offer a high-quality IB syllabus. The IB tutors have all the past papers, textbooks, and the latest editions in the database. The IB tutors conduct several interactions and simulations to make the language more interesting.
- Encouraging group debates
We can only learn English by speaking it over and over again. The IB tutors at Mumbai conduct daily assessments to gauge the performance of the student. They also arrange several group debates for the students that will compel them to think. The more the debate, the fluent they become in the English language. The students also find the sessions interesting as it enhances the way of learning and a little pressure of the examination is also released.
It takes not more than 2 tuition sessions for the IB students to cover the topics. The tutors also provide handwritten notes to the students.
There are various concepts that the students need to remember to crack the examination. The expert faculty gives the students simplified notes to make them understand the concepts better.
- Focusing on the past papers
The IB examiners have reinforced certain principles when it comes to setting the paper. The biggest blunder a student makes is studying the chapters individually instead of focusing on the value of the past papers that are involved in it. The IB examiners follow a tailor-made approach when it comes to paper settings. They don’t repeat a single question in the examination. The tutors have an idea about the structure and degree of toughness of the paper.
They also help the students to study specific techniques and formulate measures for managing time.
