Ways Language and Literature is different than the Literature course: Students respond to and produce a variety of texts in order to

develop awareness of how an author’s choices impact meaning. Each student collects a variety of creative tasks in a portfolio, and submits the strongest Written Task for external evaluation.

Students also complete more than one Further Oral Activity, some individually and some in pairs or groups, and the highest achievement is submitted to IB.

Students are exposed to dozens of texts; most are non-literary (eg. political cartoons, articles, videos, scripts, advertisements, etc.). Four literary texts are studied.

Ways Language and Literature is the same as the Literature course: Students closely study two literary works and are assessed through

an Individual Oral Commentary of 10-15 minutes. The exam is comprised of two sessions, one in which students

complete a textual analysis, and one in which students express their understanding of two literary works studied in class.

Students are committed to reading and exploring, discussing and debating, challenging and persuading, creating and engaging with each other and numerous texts.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS (ELL)All schools in Langley follow the service model which divides into four stages of language proficiency:

Beginner Low Intermediate High Intermediate Advanced

Little experience with English but have had formal schooling and have an age appropriate level of literacy in a language other than English.

Have developed some competency in English and need to focus specifically on language development for academic learning.

Able to succeed in most regular high school courses, but need support in English language development for academic learning.

Can study high school subjects in the regular classroom, with support in specific subjects such as English or Graduation Transition.

64

ELL students will be placed in one of the four levels after initial assessment of English ability. Students may advance to the next level once coursework for the present level is complete. Students do not necessarily take all ISP/ELL coursework offered at a given level, recommendation is given dependent on the scores achieved during the initial assessment. The length of time needed to advance to the next level depends on factors such as academic ability and work habits of the student, but typically a low intermediate student who completed grade 10 in their home country can graduate and go on to a Canadian post-secondary college or university in 2.5 - 3 years (summer school being .5 of a school year).

65

All Langley high schools offer the BAA courses within the four stage service model to ensure ISP students receive credit for ELL instruction at the grade 10,11, and 12 levels. As well, schools can offer ELL “primer” courses until more BAA courses are developed.
