Offered at Canyon High School only
Language and Literature Higher Level introduces the critical study and interpretation of written and spoken texts from a wide
range of literary and nonliterary genres. The formal analysis of texts is supplemented by awareness that meaning is not fixed
but can change in respect to contexts of production and consumption. IB Language and Literature is organized into four parts,
each focused on the study of either literary or non-literary texts. Together, the four parts of the course allow the student to
explore the English language through its cultural development and use, its media forms and functions, and its literature. Students
develop skills of literary and textual analysis, and the ability to present their ideas effectively. A key aim is the development
of critical literacy.
