Welcome to the International Baccalaureate Diploma at NLCS Jeju Welcome to the NLCS Jeju Options Guide for the IB Diploma Programme. In this booklet, you will find all the information you need to make your choice of subjects for the Diploma Programme that you will follow in the Sixth Form at NLCS Jeju.

The guide also provides information about the Diploma Programme as a whole, its philosophy and the elements that make up the core of the Diploma Programme.

This is a very exciting time in your school life. Over the next few months, you can begin to think seriously about what where your academic interests lie and what pathway you might eventually choose for Higher Education.

NLCS Jeju IBDP Options Process The options process at NLCS Jeju is designed to help you make the right choices. It is important that you create a Diploma Programme that is right for you both as an individual and in terms of your future university and career aspirations. You should make sure that you seek advice from different people: teachers, tutors, parents, the University Guidance Counsellors. Listen to all the advice but make sure you come to your own decision. You will study these subjects for two years and the grades you eventually get will determine where you can go to university, so do not choose a subject just because your friend is doing it or because your parents think it is a good idea. Make your own decisions.

Although these decisions are important, try not to let the process become too stressful! For some subjects such as Engineering and Medicine, universities may have specific requirements but, for most courses, a range of different subjects is acceptable. If you focus your Diploma Programme on the areas you are most interested in, then it is likely that you will be studying what you need for the courses to which you will eventually apply.

As we explain later in this guide, universities and colleges around the world welcome applicants from the IB Diploma Programme. They understand the challenge and rigour involved and it gives them a good sense of the quality of the candidate. Admissions tutors know that successful IB Diploma candidates are likely to thrive in Higher Education.

As a school, we know that the IB Diploma Programme gives you the best possible preparation for Higher Education and the best possible chance of gaining admission to your university and course of choice.

We hope you will find this guide inspiring; the subject pages are written by teachers and they give a strong sense of the subject passion that lies at the heart of an NLCS education. The Diploma Programme is demanding, but it is an extraordinarily rich experience that will shape you for life. As a DP student, you join a global community of learners, ‘internationally minded people who, recognising their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.’

What is an IB Education? August 2013, IBO

What is the IB Diploma Programme?

The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a two-year pre-university course. It is best summarised by the programme model:

All students in the Diploma Programme must study six subjects chosen from the following areas: Group 1

Studies in Language and Literature

Group 2

Language Acquisition

Group 3

Individuals and Societies

Group 4

Sciences

Group 5

Mathematics

Group 6

The Arts

Students at NLCS Jeju may choose to take an additional subject from Groups 1 – 4 instead of a Group 6 Arts subject. In addition to studying six subjects, all students will study the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course, complete an Extended Essay (EE) and fulfill the objectives for Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS).

How is the Diploma score calculated?

The Diploma Programme is scored out of 45 points. This is the maximum points score that any student can achieve, and is calculated as follows: Each of the six subjects is worth a maximum of 7 points, making a combined total of 42.

The remaining 3 points are awarded from the Core and are based on the student’s performance in Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay.

Although there are no points for CAS, the IB Diploma will only be awarded once all of the CAS requirements have been met.

Grading in the Diploma is ‘criterion-referenced’. This means that each student’s performance is measured against well-defined levels of achievement, which are consistent from one examination session to the next. Grades are not awarded on a ‘curve’ to a certain percentage of candidates. In theory, if every student demonstrated a Level 7 achievement on an examination, then they should all be awarded the top Level.

Each of the six subjects is given a numerical grade as follows: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Excellent Very good Good Satisfactory Mediocre Poor Very poor

NB. Although they have the same scale, these grades are not directly equivalent to NLCS Jeju reporting grades (R Grades). IB Diploma grades are awarded according to the specific criteria laid out for each subject, relating only to the examinations and coursework completed by the candidate.

NLCS Jeju R Grades take into account a broader range of criteria, including performance in the classroom.

Passing Criteria for the IB Diploma All students must:   

achieve at least 24 points, with a minimum of 12 at Higher Level and 9 at Standard Level submit an Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge work which are of at least a D grade standard, and meet the CAS requirements to be awarded a Diploma.

IB Diploma candidates take their final examinations in May of Year 13 and will receive their results shortly after they leave Year 13, in early July.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between Standard and Higher Level?

You must choose six subjects from the list above. Three of these you must choose to study at Standard Level and three of them you must study at Higher Level. This arrangement means that you can pursue areas of personal interest and intellectual strength within the context of a broad and balanced curriculum.

Please note that the number of points available for a HL and a SL course is exactly the same: 7 points for each subject. However, many universities will place an emphasis on HL grades when considering applications, so it is important to bear this in mind if you already know the path you wish to take in Higher Education. Further information on this is given later in this booklet.

How do I decide what to take in Groups 1 and 2?

The school expects you to take English in either Group 1 or Group 2 in order to support the continued development of your academic English. Your chosen English course should be appropriate to your proficiency in English whilst providing suitable academic challenge.

As a general guide, any student taking English as a First Language at IGCSE, who is on target for a C grade or better, should choose English in Group 1. Those on target for a D or E grade in English as a First Language or a C or beter in English as a Second Language, should likely choose English B HL in Group 2. Only students likely to either fail English as a First Language or get a D or worse in English as a Second Language should choose English B SL; this course is unlikely to provide sufficient academic challenge for anyone else.

Once you have decided on your English option, you may then choose another language in either Group 1 or Group 2, as appropriate. Note: it is possible to take a second Group 1 language (e.g. both English Literature and Korean Literature) instead of a Group 2 Language.

Universities will regard your level of English as proficient because you are studying an IB Diploma in English and most of you will have been educated in an English-speaking environment for four years by the time you graduate.

As second language English speakers, some universities may require you to take TOEFL or IELTS to demonstrate your language proficiency but this will be on a case-by-case basis.

What is a Bilingual Diploma?

A Bilingual Diploma is awarded to students who successfully complete a Group 1 course in any language other than English.

What is Theory of Knowledge (TOK)?

The Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course is unique to the IB Diploma Programme. The course encourages students to think about the nature of knowledge, to reflect on the process of learning in all the subjects they study as part of their Diploma Programme course, and to make connections across them. The TOK course is assessed by a presentation (from 2020, an exhibition). The TOK essay will be written in the first term of Year 13. The TOK essay titles are set by the IBO. Recent TOK Essay titles include: “In the natural sciences progress can be made, but in the arts, this is not possible.” To what extent do you agree?

“Only seeing general patterns can give us knowledge. Only seeing particular examples can give us understanding.” To what extent do you agree with these assertions?

“Can we know when to trust our emotions in the pursuit of knowledge?”

“In what ways may disagreement aid the pursuit of knowledge in the natural and human sciences?”

What is the Extended Essay?

All IB Diploma students must complete an Extended Essay. The Extended Essay is the prime example of a piece of work where the student has the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and enthusiasm about a topic of his or her choice. The Extended Essay promotes high-level research, writing skills, intellectual discovery and creativity. You will have the opportunity to engage in personal research in a topic and subject of your choice under the guidance of a supervisor (a teacher in the school).

The Extended Essay is presented as a formal piece of scholarship containing no more than 4000 words. At NLCS Jeju, you will begin the Extended Essay in Term 2 of Year 12, working with a subject specialist supervisor who will guide you through the process. You will submit a fully referenced draft of your essay by the end of June in Term 3 of Year 12 and, after a final meeting with your supervisor, you will submit the final draft in October of Term 1, Year 13.

The Extended Essay topic must come from the list of approved subjects. At NLCS Jeju, that list includes all the subjects that are offered in the IB Diploma Programme. Additionally, students may request to submit an Extended Essay in World Studies, which is a combination of two subjects on an issue of global importance.

All students will be asked to express their first and second preference of subject. Not every student will necessarily be able to pursue their first preference; this is dependent on there being sufficient supervisors available in each subject. Supervisors will be allocated by the EE Coordinator in consultation Heads of Department.

What is the Creativity, Activity & Service (CAS) programme?

All IB Diploma students must fulfill the CAS requirements. Although there are no points for CAS, it is an essential part of the Diploma Programme and helps to ensure that students continue to develop beyond the classroom.

Over the two years students must demonstrate that, through CAS activities, they have:        

Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth.

Undertaken new challenges Planned and initiated activities Worked collaboratively with others.

Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities.

Engaged with issues of global importance.

Considered the ethical implications of their actions.

Developed new skills.

In addition to planning and undertaking your CAS activities, you must regularly reflect on them and build up a portfolio of evidence. To help you with this, NLCS Jeju manages the CAS programme through ManageBac.

University Recognition “IB is well known to us as excellent preparation. Success in an IB programme correlates well with success at Harvard. We are pleased to see the credential of the IB Diploma Programme on the transcript.”

- Marlyn McGrath Lewis, Assistant dean of admissions, Harvard University, USA

“Diploma Programme students are well-rounded, multifaceted, multi-skilled and have studied in depth. They have good time-management skills. They score higher than students in other national systems, and the IB score is worldwide the same measure.”

- Hrilina Lock, Undergraduate admissions manager, London School of Economics, UK

The IB Diploma is internationally respected as a world-class pre-university qualification that provides access to the most competitive universities and degree courses in the UK, USA and other countries such as Australia and Canada.

Why do Universities value IB Students?       

IB students are prepared for academic success.

IB students are more likely than others to enroll in and graduate from selective higher education institutions.

Based on their experiences, IB students possess a broader range of skills that enhance their ability to adapt and contribute to university life.

IB students demonstrate a level of emotional and intellectual maturity for managing the demands of challenging coursework and make meaningful contributions.

They have extensive experience doing independent research and presenting what they have learned through presentations, papers and other projects.

They think critically and draw on diverse perspectives that reflect an international outlook.

Participation in the IB Diploma Programme shows that students have excelled in multiple and diverse academic challenges and is a strong predictor for success in university.

Subject Choice Guidance in relation to University Applications The IB Diploma ensures that you maintain a breadth of subjects. It is important, however, to give some thought to your possible Higher Education ambitions before making your final choices. The following guidance is particularly appropriate for those students who may want to apply for very specific degree courses (particularly in the UK and Hong Kong) at very high-ranking universities.

If you are in doubt about your choices and think you may be ruling yourself out of course in which you might be interested, please consult the UGC office.

Medicine/Dentistry In order to have the widest possible choice of medical/dental schools the following choices are generally advisable:  Chemistry IB Higher Level is essential.  Biology Higher Level at IB is required by medical schools.  Most Oxbridge colleges are happy to see two sciences and Maths at Higher Level.

Veterinary Science This is a highly competitive course, so it is essential to have two sciences (one of which must be Chemistry) and Mathematics at IB Higher Level.

*

http://www.ibo.org/recognition/documents/IBRecognitionbrochure_FinalV2.pdf

Natural Sciences For this very competitive course it is important to have two sciences and Mathematics at IB Higher Level.

Economics, Physics, Engineering and Mathematics For high-ranking universities, we recommend candidates to take Mathematics at IB Higher Level.

Philosophy, Politics and Economics For this combination, it is not a requirement to be taking these subjects at IB but it is useful to have studied at least one or two of them, because it proves interest and helps at interview.

Mathematics and History are also highly desirable background subjects and may considerably improve chances of acceptance on university courses.

Law There are no specific subject requirements. One can study arts or sciences or a combination. As grade requirements are very high it is important to study subjects that you will do well in.

It can be helpful to demonstrate both analytical (logic) and essay writing skills across your subjects. This makes a contrasting subject useful. Languages are also useful and can enable you to study a European/English law combination.

English Some universities like to see a modern or a classical language in the combination, with English at IB Higher Level a requirement. Some courses require IB English Literature. Universities are usually pleased to see other “supportive� essay-writing subjects, such as History.

Architecture Visual Arts is highly recommended, preferably at Higher Level, as most universities will require you to submit a portfolio of work.

General Advice for subject-specific majors Finally, it goes without saying that for most other subjects it is recommended/highly desirable to have the relevant discipline to Higher Level IB if it is available, e.g. History to a high standard in order to study History at university.

You should also think carefully in Year 12 about your choice of Extended Essay topic and how you might use that to demonstrate your interests to universities and colleges.

Timeline of the options process The options process starts officially in January of Year 11, although we know that students are thinking about their options long before this time. During the spring half term, students receive a series of assemblies and presentations, information from subject teachers, and engage in discussions with University Guidance Counsellors.

Parents have the opportunity to participate in a bespoke Options Day, in which the options process is explained in detail. During this day there are presentations by departments and opportunities to talk to staff. This is followed by an Open House, during which both parents and students can discuss choices with teachers. The half term break provides the opportunity for parents and students to discuss and finalise the choices.

Once the students make their choices immediately after the spring half term vacation, the school timetable is constructed for the following year. Classes are constructed within timetable blocks according to student choice. It may not be possible for every student to have their initial combination, but the school endeavours to make this happen wherever possible.

There is only one opportunity for students to request a change once their selected first choice has been processed.

Students do not have the opportunity to change their option subject combination until the beginning of Year 12.

At this time, requests for change are treated on an individual basis, yet may not be possible due to timetable constraints. We know that some students may wish to change after the summer, or after the commencement of the course, but students and parents need to be aware that it may not be possible to change at this point.

It is very important therefore, that students and parents make the right decision based on enjoyment of subject, passion, university destination requirements, and advice from staff.

Korean A: Literature “Literature is the safe and traditional vehicle through which we learn about the world and pass on values from on generation to the next.”

Je Se Hee, Korean novelist

Course Overview The Korean A: Literature program is primarily a pre-university course in literature.

It is aimed at students who intend to pursue literature, or related studies, at university, as well as at students whose formal study of literature will not continue beyond this level. The former would normally follow the Higher Level programme and the latter the Standard Level.

Literature is concerned with our conceptions, interpretations and experiences of the world. The study of literature, therefore, can be seen as a study of all the complex pursuits, anxieties, joys and fears that human beings are exposed to in the daily business of living. It enables an exploration of one of the more enduring fields of human creativity and artistic ingenuity, and provides immense opportunities for encouraging independent, original, critical and clear thinking. It is also develops a healthy respect for the imagination and a perceptive approach to literary works. The discussion of literature is itself an art that requires the clear expression of ideas both orally and in writing.

Through the study of a wide range of literature, the Korean A: literature course encourages students to appreciate the artistry of literature and to develop an ability to reflect critically on their reading. Works are studied in their literary and cultural contexts, through close study of individual texts and passages, and by considering a range of critical approaches. In view of the international nature of the IB and its commitment to intercultural understanding, the Korean A: literature course does not limit the study of works to the products of one culture or the cultures covered by any one language. The study of works in translation is especially important in introducing students, through literature, to other cultural perspectives. The response to the study of literature is through oral and written communication, thus enabling students to develop and refine their command of language.

There are no formal requirements for students undertaking this course. Students who take these courses will often have varied language profiles and may be multilingual. Each course offers the opportunity for continued language development and the acquisition of a range of skills including, for example, textual analysis and the expression of literary appreciation. Students completing this course will have developed skills of analysis and the ability to support an argument in clearly expressed writing, sometimes at significant length. This course will enable them to succeed in a wide range of university courses, particularly in literature, but also in subjects such as philosophy, law and language.

English A: Literature Great literature lies at the very core of human culture and existence and serves an important practical role in articulating the ideals of a people or civilisation; ideals like love, faith, duty, friendship, freedom, reverence which are the parts of human life most worthy of preservation.

The study of English Literature at IB includes three central components or activities, all of which seek to nurture creative, critical and investigative qualities. Students will engage with literary texts of great artistic value in order to discuss the values, morals and issues embedded within them. Of increasing importance, and arguably the element of the course that underpins achievement and progress in other areas, is the creative aspect of studying Literature. Developing an appreciation of intellectual and aesthetic creativity and originality is central to the subject, as is the need to develop creative and insightful ways of responding to this facet of writing and literary production.

All of the above will be achieved through the detailed study of a wide range of world literature, ranging from the seventeenth century French play Tartuffe (Moliere) to the post-war Japanese world of Wonderful Fool (Endo) to canonical classics of English Literature by the likes of Blake, Wordsworth and Shakespeare.

Anyone interested in questioning and confronting their deepest held beliefs, whilst also empathising with situations and states of mind they are yet to encounter should consider pursuing the study of English Literature at IB. The breadth and scope of the subject is so wide, touching upon philosophical, historical and psychological concepts that its study is always richly rewarding and satisfying.

The course comprises of four units that cover a variety of literature texts. When studying these texts, students will consider the context in which the text was produced and received, key themes, plot and character and critical reception and interpretation.

Chinese A: Literature “When literature exists, perhaps we do not notice how important it is, but when it does not exist, our lives become coarsened and brutal.” ~ Mo Yan (the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012) Group 1 Language A: Literature may be studied in mother tongue English and mother tongue Chinese. It is a course that promotes respect for literary heritage of the students’ home language and provides an opportunity for students to continue to develop oral and written skills in their mother tongue.

The goal is that by the end of the course the students will have an appreciation for the writer’s craft and the cross cultural/historical nature of literature, and the ability to discuss it in oral and written forms. Their personal responses will reflect their acquisition of the vocabulary and literary language needed for the accurate articulation of their views. Students will also have begun to recognise the ways in which literary works enable us to explore aspects of human experience.

Aims and Objectives 1. Introduce students to a range of texts from different periods, styles and genres 2. Develop in students the ability to engage in close, detailed analysis of individual texts and make relevant connections 3. Develop the students’ powers of expression, both in oral and written communication 4. Encourage students to recognise the importance of the contexts in which texts are written and received 5. Encourage, through the study of texts, an appreciation of the different perspectives of people from other cultures, and how these perspectives construct meaning 6. Encourage students to appreciate the formal, stylistic and aesthetic qualities of texts 7. Promote in students an enjoyment of, and lifelong interest in, language and literature 8. Develop in students an understanding of the techniques involved in literary criticism 9. Develop the students’ ability to form independent judgments and to support those ideas.

Language A: Language & Literature (HL/SL) At NLCS Jeju, Language & Literature courses are offered in English and Korean. Specific details, including topics studied, for each are given in the following pages. As with Language A: Literature courses, both are structured and examined according to the following common criteria.

Course Content Readers, Writers and Texts Non-literary texts are chosen from a variety of sources and media to represent as wide a range of text types as possible, and works are chosen from a variety of literary forms. The study of the non-literary texts and works focuses on the nature of language and communication and the nature of literature and its study. This study includes the investigation of how texts themselves operate as well as the contexts and complexities of production and reception. Focus is on the development of personal and critical responses to the particulars of communication.

Conceptual Questions:   

Why and how do we study language and literature?

In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed and interpreted?

How does the structure and style of a text affect meaning?

Time and Space Non-literary texts and literary works are chosen from a variety of sources, literary forms and media that reflect a range of historical and/or cultural perspectives. Their study focuses on the contexts of language use and the variety of ways literary and non-literary texts might both reflect and shapre society at large. The focus is on the consideration of personal and cultural perspectives, the development of broader perspectives, and an awareness of the ways in which context is tied to meaning.

Conceptual Questions:   

How important is cultural or historical context to the production and reception of a text?

To what extent do texts offer insight into another culture?

How do texts reflect, represent or form a part of cultural practices?

Intertextuality No-literary texts and literary works are chosen from a variety of sources, literary forms and media in a way that allows students an opportunity to extend their study and make fruitful comparisons. Their study focuses on intertextual relationships with possibilities to explore various topics, thematic concerns, generic conventions, modes or literary traditions that have been introduced throughout the course. The focus is on the development of critical response grounded in an understanding of the complex relationships among texts.

Conceptual Questions:   

How do texts adhere to and deviate from conventions associated with literary forms or text types?

Korean A: Language and Literature “There are many people, simple commoners, despite wanting to have their say, who are unable to fulfill their desire. Finding this pitiful, I am creating a new twenty-eight characters, no more than to make it convenient for all people to easily learn and use them every day.”

-King Sejong the great

Course Overview Language A: language and literature comprises four parts—two relate to the study of language and two to the study of literature.

A key aim of the language A:language and literature course is to encourage students to question the meaning generated by language and texts, which, it can be argued, is rarely straightforward and unambiguous. Helping students to focus closely on the language of the texts they study and to become aware of the role of each text’s wider context in shaping its meaning is central to the course.

한국어와 한국문학

The main difference of literatuture course and Lannguare&Literature course lies in the different areas of focus each takes. In the language A: literature course, focus is directed towards developing an understanding of the techniques involved in literary criticism and promoting the ability to form independent literary judgments. The focus of the language A: language and literature course is directed towards developing and understanding the constructed nature of meanings generated by language and the function of context in this process. Students will study a range of selected non-fiction texts, such as articles, blogs and speeches by examining language choice, structure, and the influences of culture and context.

It is recommended that students have had experience of writing critical essays about texts, not having done so should not exclude them from studying language A. The choice of the course will depend on the students’ interests and future educational plans particularly in subjects such as communication, media, journal, pshychology, marketing and culture studies, etc. Additionally, student will have advantage to have the Bilingual Diploma, which is seen in a very positive strength by western universities.

English A: Language and Literature The study of Literature and Language is interdependent and mutually inclusive. Without an ear for language and an ability to shape it, which actor, activist, politician, advertising/marketing giant would have stood the test of time?

Which leader would have successfully convinced a nation that bloodshed was in the name of something higher, something nobler than mere violence?

And yet it is through the medium of language that all of these things occur.

The Language A: Language and Literature course aims to develop in students skills of textual analysis and the understanding that texts, both literary and non-literary, can be seen as autonomous yet simultaneously related to culturally determined reading practices.1

Course Content At both Higher and Standard Level, students will study a range of selected non-fiction texts, such as articles, blogs and speeches by examining language choice, structure, and the influences of culture and context. Higher Level students will also study a minimum of 6 literary texts (a mix of genres, time periods and cultural influences) and Standard Level will read a minimum of 4 literature texts.

Some examples of the diversity of texts that can be studied as part of the course can be found in the following word cloud:

Literature and Performance (SL only) “That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” ~F. Scott Fitzgerald

Course Overview Unique, creative and at the heart of the IB philosophy, this course is an intriguing synthesis of Language A and Theatre. The course focuses on the study of the interaction between literary text and performance. All of which culminates in a piece of poetry or prose that has been transformed from page to stage. The process is exciting, creative and will challenge you to view texts from angles that will make you stand out from the crowd. This is a group 1 subject that goes far beyond the scope of literature or theatre studies as individual subjects. Literature and Performance is ideal for students who have studied Drama at iGCSE level, have a passion for theatre and wish to explore English as a practical as well as theoretical language.

Literature and performance aims The aims of the literature and performance course are to: 1.

Subject Information Group 2: Language Acquisition

Selecting Language Options in Group 2 In the Languages department, our aims are simple: to foster and encourage enthusiasm, enquiry, independence and critical thinking whilst generating a love for Spanish and its cultures. We strive to deliver stimulating and stretching courses through studying authentic resources.

Group 2 consists of two types of language course: Language B is an additional language-learning course designed for students with some previous learning of that language, usually to IGCSE level (or equivalent). It may be studied at either SL or HL. Language ab initio is designed for students with little or no prior experience of the language they wish to study.

This does not, however, mean that ab initio courses are easy. In fact, if anything the lack of prior experience of the language makes the learning curve steeper and as such more challenging for many students thank continuing with a language they already have experience of.

As with the Group 1 languages, Language B and Language ab initio courses vary in terms of the language of delivery but have common course structures and assessment criteria. These common elements are described below, followed by subject-specific pages.

At NLCS Jeju we offer HL, SL and ab initio courses in French, Mandarin and Spanish.

There is no ab initio course for English B or Korean B, which are offered at either HL or SL. There are a number of factors that contribute to an individual’s choice of language course in Group 2; language profiles are rarely identical as people can have very different aptitudes for listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Following a discussion with individuals, the Diploma Programme Coordinator and their language teachers will ensure that, as far as possible, students are following the course that is most suited to their needs and that will provide them with an appropriate academic challenge.

Language acquisition aims The following aims are common to both language B and language ab initio.

1. Develop international-mindedness through the study of languages, cultures, and ideas and issues of global significance.

2. Enable students to communicate in the language they have studied in a range of contexts and for a variety of purposes.

3. Encourage, through the study of texts and through social interaction, an awareness and appreciation of a variety of perspectives of people from diverse cultures.

4. Develop students’ understanding of the relationship between the languages and cultures with which they are familiar.

5. Develop students’ awareness of the importance of language in relation to other areas of knowledge.

6. Provide students, through language learning and the process of inquiry, with opportunities for intellectual engagement and the development of critical- and creative-thinking skills.

7. Provide students with a basis for further study, work and leisure through the use of an additional language.

8. Foster curiosity, creativity and a lifelong enjoyment of language learning.

Classical Languages An alternative to a modern language course in Group 2 is Latin as a Classical Language. This is taught and assessed differently to the others and is explained at the end of this section.

Language B (HL/SL) Language B courses are designed for students with previous experience of studying the language, usually up to the equivalent of IGCSE level. Those without this experience should consider a Language ab initio course.

Course Content In any language B course, students develop the ability to communicate in the target language through the study of language, themes and texts. In doing so, they also develop conceptual understandings of how language works.

Communication is evidenced through receptive, productive and interactive skills across a range of contexts and purposes that are appropriate to the level of the course. All language B courses are delivered thematically, following the guiding principles below.

Language ab initio (SL only) Designed for students with little or no experience of studying the language, ab initio courses develop the ability to communicate in the target language through the study of language, themes and texts. In doing so, they also develop conceptual understandings of how language works. Communication is evidenced through receptive, productive and interactive skills across a range of contexts and purposes that are appropriate to the level of the course.

Key aims for the language ab initio course.

Students will be assessed on their understanding of five key concepts: 1. Audience: Students understand that language should be appropriate for the person(s) with whom one is communicating 2. Context: Students understand that language should be appropriate to the situation in which one is communicating 3. Purpose: Students understand that language should be appropriate to achieve a desired intention, goal or result when communicating 4. Meaning: Students understand that language is used in a range of ways to communicate a message 5. Variation: Students understand that differences exist within a given language, and that speakers of a given language are generally able to understand each other

Course content Language ab initio coursesare divided into five broad themes, all of which are well suited to fostering an international perspective. These ab initio courses seek to develop intercultural understanding and foster a concern for global issues, as well as to raise students’ awareness of their own responsibility at a local level.

Topics that may be covered under each theme are as follows: Identities

Experiences

Human Ingenuity

Social organization

Sharing the Planet

Why choose English?

Available as Language B HL/SL. Although the role, needs and function of the English language are constantly shifting and developing, it is evident that English has been established ‘as the standard language: an intrinsic part of the global communications revolution.’ (The Economist) Additionally, English is the main language of books, newspapers, international business, academic conferences, science technology, diplomacy, sport, international competitions, airports and air-traffic control, pop music and advertising.

Because of this, over one billion people are currently learners of the English language.

One of the aims of the English B course is to set its students apart from the other billion English learners, opening up a wealth of academic and employment opportunities, through focusing far beyond the realms of basic and functional English. Through the English Language B course, students are exposed to a multitude of language styles and registers, encouraging competency when writing a business report, a professional letter, an academic paper or a scientific investigation to name but a few.

In terms of more immediate gain, the Language B course complements and provides support with the five other IB disciplines. The demands upon an IB learner are extensive, particularly in terms of the expectations upon language competency and creativity. In any given day, an IB learner may be expected to deliver a formal presentation, summarise a highly academic article, engage others in a discussion forum, produce an essay outlining a reasoned argument, convince others of their opinion or read one of the literary classics, and all in the English language.

Following the language course provides students with the tools to successfully adapt their spoken and written language to fulfill all of these differing expectations on their English Language skills. Studying Language B also provides students with greater intercultural understanding, adequately preparing them to understand, interact and build personal and professional relationships within an ever-growing international community of English Language speakers. Gaining an insightful understanding and appreciation of the influences, motivations and experiences of our global neighbours is a central part of the language B course and, also sits at the heart of the IB philosophy.

Note: students on target for a C grade or better in English as a First Language IGCSE should choose English as a Group 1 subject. Those wishing to deviate from this guidance should have a conversation with the IBDP Coordinator about the issues this may bring about.

Why choose French?

Available as Language B HL/SL and ab initio.

The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language Survey indicates that more students are interested in studying French than any other foreign language in the United States. The Modern Languages Association’s survey shows that French enrollments in the United States are on the rise and are now at the highest level in over 20 years. While any language will be useful for some jobs or for some regions, French is amongst the few foreign languages that are widely spoken throughout the world and is the second most frequently taught language in the world after English.

The International Organization of Francophonie has 56 member states and governments. Of these, 28 countries have French as an official language. French is the only language other than English spoken on five continents. When deciding on a foreign language for work or school, consider that French is a language that will give you the most choices later on in your studies or your career.

Why choose Spanish?

Available as Language B HL/SL and ab initio.

Spanish is the primary language of 20 countries worldwide.

Spanish is the second most studied language and second language in international communication.

Every year the number of people studying Spanish grows significantly.

Increasingly, the second language U.S. citizens are choosing to learn is Spanish.

Acquiring language requires special skills that, once learned, can be used to become fluent in other languages. Understanding a language also means understanding the culturally enriching aspects of different societies. To stay competitive in today's world, it is imperative to learn more about other cultures and how they think. When deciding on a foreign language for work or school, consider that Spanish is a language that will give you the most choices later on in your studies or your career.

Economics (HL/SL) ‘It has been more profitable for us to bind together in the wrong direction than to be alone in the right one’ Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan

Why might I be interested in studying Economics?

What is happening to the Korean Won and what are the implications of this for the Korean economy? How will global events impact on the ability of Korea to provide jobs for all its citizens? How can Korea contribute to the economic development of other countries? Why do cinemas charge different prices to different people to see the same movie? Should one firm provide all the electricity in a country? Does competition bring us the best use of our scarce resources? How might we deal effectively with the problem of air pollution in Beijing? How does the market system allocate scarce resources?

If you are interested in any of these questions and want to develop an independent and critical way of thinking then Economics is a subject you will find valuable. This social science looks at how we try to make most use of the scarce resources we have as a society to provide for our own needs and for the needs of future generations. Economics is relevant to an understanding of the world in which you will live and work in the future, it provides a way of analyzing events and will help you consider alternative national economic strategies to inform your decisions as a citizen.

Course Overview In Economics you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your learning in a variety of ways, through class discussions based on simulations, written work which could be continuous prose or responding to data, presentations to class, problem solving and working with data.

Economics is a well-respected foundation for further courses at university and a wide range of occupations including working in the private and government sectors as an economist analyzing policy and proposing solutions to problems; describing economic problems to others through careers in journalism or teaching; working for financial institutions, such as banks, analyzing data and taking risky decisions based on your analysis; as a route to qualify as an accountant; working within a variety of businesses.

Course Content The specification for teaching from August 2020 is changing. The following is a brief summary of the course content from the currently available documents.

Students will be introduced to nine key concepts – scarcity, choice, efficiency, equity, economic well-being, sustainability, change, interdependence and intervention – which they will use throughout the course. Students will use an economic lens to investigate integrated subtopics of economics of the environment and the economics of poverty and inequality. All students will be expected to be able to handle prose and numeric data. Most of the teaching will be via case studies, news articles and application of economic theories to real world situations.

Economic theory includes: Microeconomics - the model of supply and demand, elasticities, the role of government, market failure and externalities and public goods. Higher Level students will also address the market failures in the environmental context, asymmetric information and market power.

Macroeconomics - Measuring economic activity, aggregate demand and supply analysis, the macroeconomic objectives governments follow such as full employment, the control of the price level and growth, economics of inequality and poverty, monetary, fiscal and supply-side policy available to government to control the economy.

The Global Economy - International trade, protectionism and economic integration, exchange rates and the balance of payments, sustainable development, its measurement, barriers to development and economic development strategies.

Assessment There are essay and data response based papers for both Higher and Standard Level students. These test the content of the specification. In addition, Higher Level students take a policy paper.

All students submit a portfolio of three commentaries based on recently published news stories using a different key concept to examine the issues involved.

History (HL/SL) “History Opens Doors!

Many top jobs are within the grasp of historians. With a history degree you can aspire to be prime minister, press baron and media mogul, overlord of the BBC, ‘the most famous lawyer in the land’, archbishop of Canterbury, top diplomat, Oxbridge vice-chancellor, England footballer or chairman of the richest football club in the world, famous comedian or celebrated pop musician, best-selling novelist, trade union boss, business millionaire – and perhaps even, one day, monarch of the realm.”

David Nicolls, Professor of History

In IB History, students study about twentieth-century authoritarian rulers in countries such as Germany and China

Why study IB History?

IB History is a course that is widely respected and recognised by top universities around the world. An IB History student focuses on skills such as reading, writing, critical thinking, and comparative evaluation. Among other career routes, history provides an excellent background for those interested in becoming lawyers, consultants, civil servants and those interested in international relations and politics. Knowledge of history is essential to understanding the context of the modern world. It is impossible to understanding the complex issues that we face today without an understanding of how the past shaped these issues. In this sense, knowledge of the past is inescapable.

History allows us to understand the importance of individuals such as Martin Luther King in bringing about social change

What is the difference between HL and SL History?

Many students ask this question. In truth, both Higher Level and Standard Level History require the same set of skills. The essential difference between the two courses is the amount of content that is covered. Students taking HL History will cover a regional topic dealing with the History of Europe. This means that they will be required to take an additional exam paper. Hence doing the HL course allows students to further develop their writing and analytical skills in History, as well as covering another major area of modern world history.

History allows us to understand the impact of ideologies on twentieth century history, not least in terms of the impact of Communism on Asia

Assessment IB History consists of three different papers. SL students will sit the first two papers, while HL students will also sit Paper 3. All students will also complete an internal assessment.

Philosophy (HL/SL)

‘Socrates did not teach philosophy, he taught to philosophise’ Daniel and Auriac

Course Overview The Philosophy IB course at NLCS Jeju aims to teach students how to philosophise. This means that students are required to think hard about some of the most difficult questions that humans have ever considered. Questions such as: what does it mean to be a human being? What is consciousness? What is truth? Does some form of God exist? What is the morally right way to live?

How free are we to choose our actions? What is justice? Students taking the IB Philosophy course will begin to tackle all of these questions (and many more) by learning how to critically analyse and evaluate the answers that some of the world’s greatest thinkers have proposed for them. They will also learn how to construct sophisticated and precise arguments of their own in order to convince others that their personal views on these issues could be the correct ones.

The guiding principle behind the IB Philosophy course is that it is a skills-based programme. One of the main skills that Philosophy helps us to acquire is that of critical thinking. Students who learn how to do Philosophy develop high-quality critical thinking skills, which are essential for becoming independent thinkers, living ethically as global citizens, and for studying all other academic subjects with a logical and rigorous approach.

Although no previous knowledge is required to begin the course, those who choose philosophy will enjoy thinking deeply about difficult topics that remain unanswered and will be excited about taking part in discussions and debates in which they consider other people’s views and support their own. Being able to contribute to high-quality debate - both orally and in writing – is one of the specific skills that students will develop throughout the course.

Philosophy students therefore need to be prepared to think in ways they have never thought before, to be creative problem-solvers, and to enjoy breaking down complex ideas, concepts, and arguments. Students will actively engage with philosophical texts and with the views of the most influential and pivotal thinkers of the past and present.

Course Content HL/SL Core Theme: ‘Being Human’  Do humans have an essential nature?  What is the relation between our minds and our bodies?

HL/SL Optional Theme: ‘Ethics’  Analysis and evaluation of moral theories. What ethical rules should we follow?  Applied ethics. How can we solve real-life moral dilemmas in issues such as abortion, euthanasia, worldpoverty, and environmental sustainability?

HL/SL study of a philosophical text: Plato’s Republic Analysis and evaluation of the author’s views on questions such as: what is justice? What is the nature of truth?

How should a society be organised?

HL Extension (HL only): ‘The Nature of Philosophical Activity’  Exploring what it means to “do philosophy”.  Creating a personal response on the issue of Philosophy’s value and purpose.

HL Optional Theme 2 (HL only): ‘Philosophy of Religion’  Exploration of diverse conceptions and meanings of ‘God’.  Analysis and evaluation of arguments for and against the existence of God.

Assessment Assessment is primarily through extended response (essay) questions.

Psychology (HL/SL) Psychology is a fascinating area of study. It will help you understand human behaviour and mental processes and allow you to better understand how we think act and feel. If you are interested in a deeper understanding of the human condition, you should consider studying psychology.

"Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin."

Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936)

Course Overview Psychology is the rigorous and systematic study of mental processes and behaviour. It is a complex subject which draws on concepts, methods and understandings from a number of different disciplines. There is no single approach that would describe or explain mental processes and behaviour on its own as human beings are complex animals, with highly developed frontal lobes, cognitive abilities, involved social structures and cultures. The study of behaviour and mental processes requires a multidisciplinary approach and the use of a variety of research techniques whilst recognising that behaviour is not a static phenomenon, it is adaptive, and as the world, societies and challenges facing societies change, so does behaviour.

IB Psychology Aims 1. develop an understanding of the biological, cognitive and sociocultural factors affecting mental processes and behaviour 2. apply an understanding of the biological, cognitive and sociocultural factors affecting mental processes and behaviour to at least one applied area of study 3. understand diverse methods of inquiry 4. understand the importance of ethical practice in psychological research in general and observe ethical practice in their own inquiries 5. ensure that ethical practices are upheld in all psychological inquiry and discussion 6. develop an awareness of how psychological research can be applied to address real-world problems and promote positive change.

Subject Information Group 4: Sciences

Biology (HL/SL) “I became aware of the very complex internal organization in a cell from the basic science classes, and it made me think about how all that could work. It seemed like a great mystery, especially how organelles in the cell can be arranged in three dimensions, and how thousands of proteins could find their way to the right location in the cells.”

John E. Rothman, 2013 Nobel Laureate for Physiology or Medicine

Why study IB Biology?

This is a very exciting time to study and continue to read Biology further at university. Biology is now firmly at the forefront of research, investigating how to answer many questions, such as what is life and how did we come to be?

Moreover, Biology is proving to be an instrumental science in providing solutions to many of the world’s problems such as in medicine, food security, materials science and utilisation of energy resources.

Course Overview The IB Diploma Biology course will provide some of the skills and knowledge with which to start a career in these fields. In particular, Biology at Higher Level is a prerequisite to study medicine at all international and national universities. Here at NLCS Jeju, students will learn the subject from the small scale, including about organic molecules, cells, and cellular processes. They will then extend this to a bigger scale to the biology of plants and animals and finally, how these interact on an even bigger scale in ecological studies. Underlying this will be a study in genetics and the theory of evolution. The acquisition of practical skills and an opportunity to develop an ability to clarify problems and search for solutions are an integral part of the course.

Aims of the Course Throughout this challenging course, students become aware of how scientists work and communicate with each other. Furthermore, students enjoy multiple opportunities for scientific study and creative inquiry within a global context. In addition, the course is designed to:          

Physics (HL/SL) What is Physics?

The International Baccalaureate Physics programme is a two-year rigorous preuniversity course that is internationally well recognised. The focus of this programme is to impart in students the ability to inquire about, analyse and describe the physical world, as well as develop the knowledge and skills required to excel in their university studies. By design this course allows students to experience the challenges which are normally felt at undergraduate level. The course introduces the students to scientific methods and techniques which are needed for scientific investigations. Students are made aware of ethical responsibility in the use of scientific knowledge. Students are encouraged to understand the relationship between the various scientific disciplines and carry out an interdisciplinary project.

Practical investigations are an integral part of the curriculum. Students are required to research a scientific problem, develop a hypothesis, design experiments, conduct investigations and draw conclusions. Special emphasis is given to manipulative skills required to carry out scientific investigations.

What skills will I develop through Physics?

Physics is about the observation, understanding and prediction of natural systems. Studying physics can help you to develop a range of skills that can be applied in many areas, both scientific and non-technical. These skills include:      

Problem-solving - studying physics gives you a pragmatic and analytical approach to problem-solving. You break down tasks down to their basic elements and use imagination and creativity to try new approaches to solve challenging problems.

Reasoning - the course involves using reasoning skills to construct logical arguments, apply analytical skills and grasp complex problems.

Numeracy - a physics degree gives you skills in using mathematics to find solutions to scientific problems, create mathematical modeling and interpret and present information graphically.

Subject Information Group 5: Mathematics

Choosing the right Mathematics option The IBDP Mathematics syllabus has changed substantially this year. Rather than simply choosing the level of study, students are now required to decide upon the pathway they take through the course. There are two options for this: Analysis and Approaches, and Applications and Interpretation. Both courses cover the same broad topics, but look at each in different levels of depth, as summarised by the comparison table of guided teaching hours below. An overview of the two courses is given on the following pages, but in broad terms the Analysis & Approaches course takes a more theoretical, pure mathematics approach whilst Applications & Interpretation is more applied. They are also assessed slightly differently, as the tables on the following pages show.

What do universities say?

Students wishing to pursue Mathematics or heavily mathematical courses such as Physics at university should opt for Analysis & Approaches at Higher Level. However, at the time of going to print, there is very little more specific information available, as the courses have not yet been taken by any students and as such no past papers or results analyses exist.

As soon as more guidance is available, we will share it with students and parents. This process will begin with dedicated presentations to parents at the Options Information Day and to students in their Maths lessons.

Mathematics Analysis & approaches (HL/SL) Course overview This course is intended for students who wish to pursue studies in mathematics at university or subjects that have a large mathematical content; it is for students who enjoy developing mathematical arguments, problem solving and exploring real and abstract applications, with and without technology.

become informed, reflective and critical musicians understand the dynamic and changing nature of music explore and value the diversity of music across time, place and cultures express musical ideas with confidence and competence develop perceptual and analytical skills

Course Content Musical Perception The listening paper is based on musical perception— analysis, examination, comparing and contrasting of pieces of music. Section A relates to two prescribed works and section B to music from different times and places, encompassing jazz/pop, western art music and world music.

Performing In the performing component, students must submit a programme of contrasting pieces in any style of music that is 15 minutes in length.

Creating (optional for standard level) In creating, students create three pieces of 3 to 6 minutes in length choosing from a wide range of styles and media, including traditional instruments, voices and/ or music technology, and reflect on their understanding of the intention, process and outcome of the pieces.

Musical Links Investigation Through the study of pieces from two distinct musical cultures, students are encouraged to explore, analyse and examine the musical connections existing between two (or more) pieces of music. Through investigative study and analysis of the similarities and differences between the selected pieces of music, students learn to demonstrate significant musical links.

Theatre (HL and SL) The IB Theatre course is a multifaceted theatre making course of study. It gives students the opportunity to make theatre as designers, directors and performers. It emphasises the importance of working both individually and collaboratively as part of an ensemble. It offers the opportunity to engage actively in the creative process, transforming ideas into action as inquisitive and productive artists. Students experience the course from contrasting artistic perspectives. Students learn to apply research and theory to inform and to contextualise their work. The theatre course encourages students to appreciate that through the processes of researching, creating, preparing, presenting and critically reflecting on theatre, they gain a richer understanding of themselves, their community and the world. Through the study of theatre, students become aware of their own personal and cultural perspectives, developing an appreciation of the diversity of theatre practices, their processes and their modes of presentation. It enables students to discover and engage with different forms of theatre across time, place and culture and promotes international mindedness.

Aims of the course       

Experience and participate in a wide and varied range of theatre activities and develop proficiency in more than one area of theatre technique Become familiar with forms of theatre from their own and different cultures Explore different theatre traditions in their historical contexts Develop academic skills appropriate for the study and understanding of theatre Become reflective and critical practitioners in theatre Develop the confidence to explore, to experiment and to work individually and collaboratively on innovative projects, which should involve challenging established notions and conventions of theatre Understand the dynamic, holistic and evolving nature of theatre and the interdependencies of all aspects of this artform

Course Description The first year will provide a foundation course that establishes theories, principles and skills that students will develop more independently in the second year. Alongside the projects within the curriculum, students will also have opportunities to take part in productions outside of class time that may contribute to course requirements.

A range of professional practitioners will be invited to deliver workshops to students as part of the course to augment their experience and underpin their practice.

Assessment Although some work is externally assessed by IB examiners, all is completed during the course. There are no examinations for Theatre at the end of the course.

Course Overview This course will present dance in a holistic form. Students will develop a broad understanding of dance and its functions in society. Students will have the opportunity to embrace a variety of dance traditions and dance cultures from the past, present and future. Students will be expected to choreograph, perform, and critique dance. Students will develop creative, performance, and analytical skills while enhancing their appreciation and enjoyment of dance.

As an integral part of the IB Dance course, students may visit performances, experiencing the work of others first hand, this will incur a small cost.

What is dance?

According to the IB: All dance is expressive movement with intent, purpose and structure, which communicates through the body and gestures of the dancer. Dance is a vital and integral part of human life. It exists over time in many forms and styles and is practiced in all traditions and cultures, taking place in a range of contexts for various purposes.

Dance is a unique medium for learning about self and the world. It is one essential component of artistic, aesthetic and cultural education, and develops creative potential through physical expression. In dance, the integration of body, mind and spirit helps participants learn skills that are transferable to other disciplines and to their daily lives.

Course objectives Students will be able:             

To know, apply and perform advanced concepts and principles of dance technique and performance To apply studio and stage protocol To develop upper level concepts of musicality, phrasing and musical interpretation To demonstrate innovative thinking in improvisation and composition To communicate multiple ideas/themes through advanced choreographic processes and performance To demonstrate compositional contrast across two of the three dance works.

To compare, contrast and analyse the history and progression of dance genres To investigate skills and requirements mandatory for professions related to dance To create and maintain a portfolio of the progression of dance knowledge To attend and critique live and pre-recorded dance performances To reflect and evaluate personal and artistic growth, as well as goal management To analyse the similarities and differences in the dance elements of two dance cultures and/or traditions.

Visual Arts (HL and SL) IB Visual Arts is based upon the observation and interpretation of the world we live in, developing the ability to explore and communicate ideas and meanings. In an increasingly digital world, the artist uses traditional and 21st century media to create his/her own visual language and challenge others’ beliefs and perspectives.

Course Overview Within the Visual Arts IB course, students apply techniques and processes that they have developed during previous art and design study to create a personal and intuitive body of work that communicates their responses to their world around them.

Students broaden their portfolio of skills by developing higher-level digital manipulation skills alongside oil painting, dry-point etching, textiles and sculpture.

Course Content The Process Portfolio Students develop a digital sketchbook from the outset of the course – a record of their artists research, practical experiments, wet and dry media observations, and evidential process images of their developing practice. Together, these records form the Process Portfolio, which documents how they have researched, developed and resolved their artworks.

Studio Work: painting, printing, sculpture, textiles, or screen-based media work As students progress in year 1 of the course they begin to specialise in their chosen mediums. They develop their own lines of enquiry, working independently on outcomes within the context of their selection of artists, designers, and craftspeople.

The Comparative Study A fundamental part of every artist’s journey is their understanding and response to the work of other artists, designers and craftspeople from history to the present day. The student’s exploration of Art History is realised in an extended Comparative Study, where students deconstruct artworks that inspire their own journey and place them within the context of the cultures that they were produced in. As an integral part of the IB Visual Arts course, students will visit galleries, experiencing the work of others first hand, this will incur a small cost.

The Exhibition Throughout the two-year course, students produce work within three areas: 2D, 3D and digital. These culminate in a final exhibition at the end of Year 13. This exciting event is designed by the student within the context of regular gallery visits throughout their studies and an increasing understanding of curatorial practice, communicating personal vision.

Portfolio development for university applications Higher Level students are guided and mentored through portfolio development towards application for their choice of international further education courses in Art and Design.

Gallery and Ongoing Film Programme Students will visit three galleries over the duration of the course to consider curatorial practice. They will also be introduced to a range of global artists as part of their critical and contextual studies.

Higher Level or Standard Level?

Higher Level students will have explored a broader range of media and processes, developing a more substantial portfolio. Otherwise, the courses present equal challenge in the time given.

Assessment Although some work is externally assessed by IB examiners, all is completed during the course. There are no examinations for Visual Arts at the end of the course. Weightings of the different assessment elements are the same for HL and SL, though the amount of work produced for each will differ.

什么是 IBDP 国际文凭课程？ IB 国际文凭课程（IBDP）是一门为期两年的大学预科课程。 课程模型总结如下：

IB 学员从 6 个学科组中选择六门科目。在我校，学生们如果不从第六组中选出一门的话，也可以从第三组或者第四 组中多选一门。这六组是： 第一组

语言和文学研究

第二组

语言习得

第三组

个人和社会

第四组

科学

第五组

数学

第六组

艺术

北伦敦济州的学生可以从一至四组中选择额外的科目而不选第六组艺术科目。除了学习6门课，学生还要完成 三个核心部分: 知识理论（TOK）、扩展论文（EE）、创造行动服务（CAS），所有这三个部分都是强制性的，并且 代表了国际文凭项目的核心哲学。

3

如何计算文凭分数？ 文凭课程满分为 45 分。 这是任何学生都可以达到的最高分数。分数计算如下：

六个科目中的每个科目最多可得 7 分，总共得到 42 分。 剩下的 3 分是由 Core 核心授予的，是根据学生在知识理论和扩展论文中的表现得出的。 虽然 CAS 不算分，但是如果没有达到 CAS 要求的目标，将会导致文凭被扣留。

文凭评分是“标准参考”。 这意味着每个学生的表现都是根据明确的成绩水平来衡量的，从一次考试到下一次考试 是一致的。 不会把候选人按照其在整体中的位置百分比曲线来打分。 从理论上讲，如果每个学生在考试中都表现出 七级成绩，那么他们都应该被授予顶级水平。

六门科目中的每一门都被赋予如下分数等级： 7 优秀 6 非常好 5 好 4 满意 3 平庸 2 差 1 很差

注意：虽然具有类似的分数等级，但国际文凭的分数等级并不直接等同于 NLCS 济州学生成绩报告中的等级。 IB 文 凭课程的成绩是根据每个科目由考试局制定的具体标准颁发的，仅与考生完成的试卷和课程作业有关。 NLCS Jeju 自己的学生报告等级则考虑了更广泛的标准，比如包括课堂表现等。

IB 文凭的通过标准 所有学生必须： •

至少达到 24 分，在高级水平科目中至少达到 12 分，在标准水平中达到 9 分；

•

扩展论文和知识理论两项至少达到 D 级；

•

并达到 CAS 的目标以获得证书。

才能获得文凭。IB 文凭考生在 13 年级 5 月份参加期末考试，并在 7 月初离开 13 年级后不久获得最终成绩。

常见问题 标准和高级有什么区别？ 你必须从上面的列表中选择六个科目。 其中三个你必须选择在标准水平学习，三个你必须在高级水平学习。 这种安 排意味着你可以在广泛和平衡的课程范围内追求个人兴趣和智力的发展空间。

请注意，HL 和 SL 课程的分值完全相同：每个科目都是满分 7 分。但是，许多大学在考虑申请时会强调 HL 等级，因 此如果你对自己在大学高等教育中的学习前景有考量的话，请务必牢记这一点。 有关这方面的更多信息，请参阅本 手册的后面部分。

我如何决定在第一组和第二组中选什么科目？ 学校希望您在第一组或第二组中选择英语，以支持你持续的英语发展。 您的首选英语课程应适合您的英语水平，同 时提供学术挑战性。

作为一般指南，任何在 IGCSE 学习中把英语作为第一语言来学习的学生，如果其成绩是达到 C 级或更高级别的话， 应选择第 1 组的英语。如果是达到英语作为第一语言的 D 或 E 级或 英语作为第二语言的 C 级或更高，应该可以选择 第 2 组中的英语 B HL。只有那些可能会在将英语作为第一语言考试中失败或者在英语作为第二语言考试中得到 D 或 更差的学生则可以选择英语 B SL; 英语 B SL 这门课程不太可能为其他人提供足够的学术挑战。

确定英语选项后，您可以根据需要选择第 1 组或第 2 组中的其他语言。 注意：也可以在第 1 组中选第二门语言（例 如英语文学和中文母文学），而不从第 2 组语言中进行选择。

大学将把你的英语水平看作是精通的，因为你正在学习英语的 IB 文凭，你们大多数在毕业的时候已经在英语环境中 接受了四年的教育。 作为第二外语的英语人士，有些大学可能会要求您参加托福或雅思考试，以证明您的语言水平， 但这将会按个案分析。

双语文凭 对于以英语以外的任何语言成功完成第一组课程的学生颁发双语文凭。

什么是知识理论（TOK）？ 知识理论（TOK）课程是 IB 文凭课程独有的。 课程鼓励学生思考知识的性质，作为他们的文凭课程的一部分来反思 他们学习所有科目的过程，并在课程之间建立联系。TOK 课程由演讲陈述（从 2020 年开始）进行评估。TOK 论文 将在 13 年级的第一学期写出。TOK 论文题目由 IBO 制定。

6

最近的 TOK 论文题目包括：

“在自然科学方面可以取得进步，但在艺术方面，这是不可能的。” 在何种程度上你同意这种论断？ “只有看到一般的模式才能给我们提供知识。 只有看到特定的例子才能让我们理解。“ 在何种程度上你同 意这种论断？ “在追求知识的过程中我们能否知道何时可以相信我们的情绪？” “分歧会以何种方式帮助自然科学和人文科学领域内的知识追求？”

什么是扩展论文？ 所有 IB 文凭学生必须完成一篇扩展论文。扩展论文是学生展现他或她对所选话题的知识、理解力和热情的一件主要 作品。扩展论文提升高层次的研究、写作技巧、智力发现和创造力。您将有机会在一位导师（学校老师）的指导下， 针对您选择的科目和主题进行个人研究。

扩展论文应以正式的论文格式呈现，不超过 4000 字。在济州 NLCS，你将在 12 年级的第 2 学期开始扩展论文，有 专业指导老师指导你完成整个过程。你将在 12 年级第三学期 6 月底之前提交完整的包括参考文献在内的初稿，在与 你的导师进行最后一次会议之后，你需要在 13 年级第 1 学期 10 月提交终稿。

扩展论文题目必须来自批准的科目列表。在 NLCS 济州，这个清单包括 IB 文凭课程中提供的所有科目。此外，学生 可以请求提交世界研究主题（这是一个结合了两个科目，关于有全球严重性的问题）的扩展论文。

所有学生将被要求表达他们的第一和第二选择的科目。 不是每个学生都能够追求到他们的首选，取决于是否每门课 上都有足够多的导师人选。 EE 协调员在和各科系负责人讨论后会安排导师。

7

什么是创造力、活动与服务（CAS）项目 所有 IB 文凭学生必须达到 CAS 的要求。 虽然 CAS 没有任何分值，但它是文凭课程的重要组成部分，有助于确保学 生在课堂之外继续发展。

在两年中，学生必须证明，通过 CAS 活动，他们： •

提高了对自身优势和需发展领域的认识

•

承担新的挑战

•

计划和启动了活动

•

与他人合作

•

在活动中表现出坚毅和承诺的特质

•

参与到具有全球重要性的问题中

•

考虑到他们行为的道德影响

•

开发新的技能

除了规划和开展 CAS 活动外，你还必须定期反思并建立一系列证据组合。 为了帮助你，NLCS 济州通过 ManageBac 电子在线系统管理 CAS 活动。

与大学申请有关的学科选择指导 IB 文凭可确保您保持广泛的科目。 然而，在做出最终选择之前，要考虑一下可能的高等教育上的雄心壮志，这一点 很重要。 以下指导对那些想在高等大学申请非常具体的学位课程（特别是在英国和香港）的学生特别适用。

如果您对自己的选择有疑问，或者感到你在自己感兴趣的大学专业上把握不大，请向 UGC 我校的大学申请办公室咨 询。

医学/牙科 为了能有最广泛的医疗/牙科学校的选择，通常建议以下选择： •化学 IB 高级水平是必不可少的。 •IB 的生物学高级水平是医学院校要求的。 •大部分 Oxbridge 学院都乐于看到两门科学课程和数学课程高级水平。

兽医学 这是一门高度竞争的课程，因此在 IB 高级水平有两门科学（其中之一必须是化学）和数学高级水平课程。

自然科学 对于这个非常有竞争力的课程，在 IB 有两门科学和一门高级数学是很重要的。

经济学、物理学、工程学和数学 对于排名高的大学，我们建议考生在 IB 选高级数学。

哲学、政治和经济学 对于这种组合，在 IB 学习这些科目并不是必须的，但是至少研究了一两个是有用的，因为它证明了考生的兴趣并有 助于面试。数学和历史也是非常理想的背景科目，并可能大大提高被大学专业接受的机会。

法律 没有特定的科目要求。 人们可以学习艺术或科学或其组合。 由于分数要求非常高，因此研究你能学好的科目是很重 要的。 •在学科中展示分析（逻辑）和轮文写作技巧是有帮助的。 这让那些有对比的学科显得有用。 •语言也是有用的，可以让你享受学习欧洲/英国的法律组合。

英语 10

一些大学喜欢看到现代或古典语言的组合，在 IB 要求选择高级英语。一些课程要求 IB 英语文学。 大学通常很高兴看到其他“支持性”的论文写作主题，如历史。

建筑 强烈建议视觉艺术，最好选高级水平，因为大多数大学需要你提交作品组合。

对专业申请的一般性建议 最后，不言而喻，对于大多数其他专业，如果能选的话，建议/非常希望你在将来有可能报考的专业上选择对应科目 的高级 IB 水平。 如为了在大学学习历史，你应选择高级历史课程。 你还应该在 12 年级仔细考虑你对扩展论文题目 的选择，以及你如何使用它来向大学和学院展示你的兴趣。

11

选课过程的时间表 选课过程从 11 年级的 1 月份正式开始，尽管我们知道学生在这个时间之前也早已经开始在考虑他们的选择。在春季 的半个学期中，学生将接受一系列的集会和演讲信息，来自学科教师的信息，并与大学申请办公室进行讨论。

家长有机会参加选课信息日，学校会详细解释选课过程。在这一天，有部门的介绍和与工作人员交谈的机会。信息 会之后有家长开放日活动，家长和学生可以同学科老师具体商谈。半学期休息为家长和学生提供了讨论和确定学生 选择的机会。

一旦学生在春季半学期假期后做出了选择，学校下一年的课程表也随之创建。班级也是根据学生的选择在课程表内 构建的。有可能不会是每个学生都得到自己最初想要的组合，但学校尽可能地做到这一点。

学生在提出了第一次的选择组合后，只有一次机会要求更改。在 12 年级开课之前，学生没有机会改变他们的选择科 目组合。在 12 年级开始后，换课申请也是个别提出个别考虑，但由于课程表的限制，也存在无法调整的可能。我们 知道有些学生可能希望在夏天之后或者在课程开始之后改变，但是学生和家长需要意识到在这一点上可能无法改变。

因此，学生和家长根据科目、热情、大学目的地的要求和工作人员的建议，作出正确的决定是非常重要的。

韩语 A: 文学 “文学是我们学习世界并向下一代传递价值的安全的以及传统的工具。” 赵世熙, 韩国小说家

课程总览 韩语 A: 文学课程主要是文学专业大学预科课程。它针对想要在大学期间追求文学 或相关专业的学生，以及那些对文学的正式学习不会在此级别后继续的学生。前者 通常会学习高级级别的课程，而后者会选择标准级别的课程。 文学是关于我们对世界的观念、解释和体验。所以，对文学的学习，可以看作是对 所有人类在面对日常生活所接触到的复杂的追求、焦虑、喜悦和恐惧的学习。它让 对人类创造力和艺术独创性的探索成为可能，也提供了巨大的机遇去鼓励独立、原 创、批判性的和清晰的思路。它同时也培养了对艺术作品的想象力的健康的尊重， 以及对艺术作品的洞察和理解。对文学的讨论，包括口头的和书面的，本身也是一 种清楚表达想法的艺术。

通过对一些文学作品的学习，韩语 A:文学课程鼓励学生去欣赏文学的艺术性并培养在他们的阅读中呈现批判性能力。 文学作品会在其文学和文化背景下研究，通过文本和段落的仔细研究,并考虑一些批判性的途径。鉴于国际文凭的国 际性，以及它对跨文化的理解，韩语 A: 文学课程不仅限于某一个文化或是某一语言下的产物。通过翻译作品把文学 和其他文化的角度介绍给学生尤为重要。对文学研究的回应是通过口头和书面的交流，因此学生可以培养和提高他 们对语言的掌握。

对于选择这门课的学生没有正式的要求。通常选择这门课的学生来自不同的语言背景，也可能是多语言的。每门课 都提供继续培养和获取一系列技能的机会，例如，文本分析和文学鉴赏的表达。完成这门课的学生会培养分析能力 和通过清晰的书面形式支持论点的技能，有时长度会相当长。这节课会帮助他们在一系列的大学课程中取得成功， 特别是文学，还有哲学、法律和语言这样的课程中。

English A: Literature 英语文学 伟大的文学是人类文化和生存的核心，在阐明一个民族或文明 的理想中起着重要的实际作用：理想、爱、信仰、义务、友 谊、自由、崇敬是人类生命中最值得保存的部分。

国际文凭组织的英语文学研究包括三个中心组成部分或活动， 所有这些都旨在培养创造性，批判性和调查性的素质。学生将 学习具有极大艺术价值的文学文本，以讨论嵌入其中的价值、 道德和问题。在学习文学时体现出的创造性，越来越重要地成 为支撑其他领域的成就和进步的课程要素。发展对知识和审美 的创造力和原创性的认识是这个学科的核心，也需要发展创造 性和有见地的方式来回应写作和文学创作。

以上所有内容都将通过对广泛的世界范围内文学作品的详细研究而取得，比如十七世纪法国戏剧《Tartuffe》（莫里 哀），战后日本《Wonderful Fool》（Endo），以及经典的注入布莱克华兹华斯和莎士比亚的作品。

任何有兴趣质疑和面对自己最深刻的信念的人，同时也对他们尚未遇到的情境和心态愿意去感受的人，应该考虑在 IB 学习英语文学。主题的广度和范围如此广泛，触及哲学、历史和心理的概念，使得它的研究总是富有回报和令人 满意的。

该课程包括四个单元，涵盖各种文献文本。 学习这些文本时，学生将考虑文本创作和被接受时的背景、关键主题、 情节和人物以及相关的文学批评和阐释。 课程内容

韩语 A: 语言和文学 “有很多人，简单的普通人，无法实现他们希望表达自己的愿望。我觉得这很可怜，我创造了一个新的 28 个字符的 体系，只是为了让所有人能够很容易去学并每天使用它们。” -世宗大王 课程总览 语言 A:语言和文学由四部分组成 – 两个和语言学习相关，两个和文学研究相关。 语言 A 的一个关键目标：语言和文学课程是为了鼓励学生探究由语言和文本所产生 的意义，这是非常值得辩论的，因为它很少是直接和明确的。帮助学生紧密地专注 在他们所学的语言的语境，并且意识到上下文在塑造语言意义中的角色，这是这门 课程的核心。

文学课程、语言和文学课程，这两者的主要区别在于课程专注的领域不同。在语言 A:文学课程中，重点在于指导培养文学批判所涉及的技巧以及促进独立判断文学作 品的能力。在语言 A：语言和文学课程中，重点是为了培养学生去理解语言和文本的功能，语言和文本是如何构建起 来并产生意义的。学生会学习一系列选定的非小说的文本，比如文章、博客和演讲等，通过研究这些文本来仔细观 察语言的选择、结构以及文化和语境的影响。

建议学生在选这门课前，有针对文本写作进行批判性分析的经验，但没有这样经验的学生也不应该排除在学习语言 A 之外。对于本门课的选择应该建立在学生的兴趣和未来的教育计划上，特别是想选择传媒、沟通、期刊、心理学、 市场和文化研究等专业。另外，学生将有双语文凭的优势，这也是许多西方大学视为优势的地方。 课程内容

英语 A: 语言和文学 文学与语言研究是相互依存和相互包容的。没有耳朵来接受语 言和听取语意，哪个演员、活动家、政治家、广告/营销巨头会 经受住时间的考验？哪位领导人能成功地把流血事件描述地比 纯粹的暴力更高尚一些？所有这些事情都是通过语言这个媒介 发生的。

语言 A：语言与文学课程旨在培养学生的文本分析技能，并理解 文本和非文学文本都可以被看作是自主的，但同时又与受文化 决定的阅读习惯有关。.2

课程内容 无论是高级或标准那个层面，学生都将通过研究一系列精选的非小说文本，如文章，博客和演讲等，来考察语言的 选择、结构以及文化和语境的影响。 高水平的学生也将学习至少 6 本文学文本（混合的流派、时间段和文化的影响） 和标准水平的学生将阅读至少 4 本文学文本。

在下面的词云中可以找到作为课程一部分的可供研究的文本多样性的例子，例子无限，因此该课程很精彩：

文学与表演 (仅限 SL ) “这是所有文学之美的一部分。 你发现你的愿望也是万众的愿望，你不孤独，不孤立于任何人。 你找到归属。“— —F. 斯科特·菲茨杰拉德

课程概述 独特的、创造性的、在 IB 理念的核心，这门课是语言 A 和剧场的有趣的综合。 课程着重于文学作品与表演之间的互 动。 所有这一切都以一首诗歌或散文的形式达到高潮，这些诗歌或散文从书面的形式转变为舞台形式。 这个过程是 令人兴奋的，有创意的，并且会挑战你观看文本的角度，让你脱颖而出。 这个课程属于第一大类，但超出单一的文 学或戏剧研究课程的范围。 文学和表演课程 对于 iGCSE 阶段学过戏剧，对戏剧充满热情，希望将英语作为实践和理 论语言进行探索的学生来说是理想的选择。

文学和表演 课程的 目标是： 1. 发展学生在批判地和想象地探索一系列文学文本和表演可能性方面的技能。 2. 培养学生在各种风格和背景下表达他们对文学和表演的理解和反应能力。 3. 向学生介绍一系列的表演技巧。 4. 通过探索来自不同文化、时期和流派的文本，拓宽学生的视野。 5. 培养个人对于文学和表演的热情，并因此来引导学生更好地了解自己和世界。

科目信息 第2组 语言习得

第 2 组中的语言科目选项 在语言部门，我们的目标很简单：培养和鼓励热情、探究、独立和批判性思维，同时培养对第二语言及其文化的热 爱。 我们致力于通过研究真实的语言资源来提供有趣和伸展的课程。

第 2 组由两种语言课程组成： 语言 B 是外语学习课程，为以前学习过该语言的，通常是在 IGCSE 或类似水平，学生设计，学生可以选是标准级 SL 或高级 HL。 语言初级 ab initio 是专门为那些 很少或根本没有 他们想学习语言的相关经验的学生设计的。然而，这并不意味着 ab initio 课程很容易。 事实上，如果缺乏先前的语言经验会使学习曲线更加陡峭，对许多学生来说更具挑战性，因 此很多学生选择那些他们已经有过学习经历的语言。

在 NLCS 济州，我们提供法语、中文普通话和西班牙语的 HL 和 SL 课程。 英语 B 和韩语 B 都没有初级课程，这两种语言提供 HL 或 SL 课程。 有许多因素可以帮助个人决定选择何种语言课程; 因为人们在听、说、读、写方面的能力可能非常不同，因此语言选 择因人而异，少有雷同。 在与个人讨论后，国际文凭课程协调员及其语言教师将确保学生尽可能遵循最适合他们需求的课程，并为他们提供 适当的学术挑战性。

语言习得课程的目标 以下是语言 B 和 语言初级水平两类课程的共同目标： 1.

通过研究语言、文化、思想和具有全球意义的问题，来培养国际观念

2.

使学生能够在学过的相关背景和各种目的下以所学习的语言进行交流

3.

通过研究文本和通过社会互动，鼓励对来自不同文化背景的人们的各种观点的认识和欣赏

4.

培养学生对他们所熟悉的各种语言和文化之间的关系的理解

2.

培养学生对语言在其他知识领域重要性的认识

3.

通过语言学习和探究过程为学生提供智力发展，提供参与和发展批判和创造性思维技能的机会

4.

通过使用另一种语言，为学生提供进一步学习、工作和休闲的语言基础

5.

培养好奇心，创造力，终身享受语言学习

古典语言 第 2 组中除了现代语言课程之外，还有拉丁语作为古典语言的课程。 拉丁语与其他现代语言的教学和评估方式不同， 本节末尾对此进行了解释。

为什么选英语? 可以选英语 B HL 或 SL

尽管英语的角色、需求和功能在不断地变化和发展，但显然英语已经被确立为“标 准语言：全球通信革命的内在组成部分”（The Economist）。另外，英语是书 报、国际商务、学术会议、科技、外交、体育、国际比赛、机场和空中交通管制、 流行音乐、广告等主要语种。正因为如此，目前超过十亿人是英语学习者。

语言 B 课程的目标之一是让学生从十亿英语学习者中脱颖而出，通过把重点放在远远超越基础和功能英语的领域来开 辟了大量的学术和就业机会。通过语言 B 课程，学生们可以接触到多种语言风格和特质，在撰写商业报告、专业信 函、学术论文或科学调查等方面提高能力。

就更为直接的收益而言，语言 B 课程与其他五个 IB 学科相辅相成，并提供支持。对国际文凭学习者的要求非常广泛， 特别是对语言能力和创造力的期望。在任何一天，国际文凭学习者都可能会做出正式的介绍，总结出一篇非常有学 术性的文章，在讨论论坛上与他人进行交流，撰写一篇文章来概述理由，说服别人的意见，或者阅读一篇文学经典， 这些都可能是用英文。语言课程为学生提供了成功调整语言和文字的工具，以满足他们对英语语言技能的不同期望。 学习语言 B 还为学生提供更大的跨文化理解，在不断增长的国际英语语言社区中增加其理解力、互动和建立个人和职 业关系。深入了解和理解我们全球化社区中邻国的影响、动力和经验是 B 语言课程的核心部分，也是 IB 理念的核心。

注意：在英语作为第一语言 IGCSE 考试中达到 C 级或更高成绩的学生应选择第 1 组科目中的英语。 那些希望偏离这 一指导的学生应该与国际文凭预科课程协调员就这可能产生的问题先进行讨论和对话。

为什么选法语? 可以选法语 B HL 或 SL 或初级 ab initio

美国外语教学调查委员会表示，在美国，有更多的学生有兴趣学习法语，而不是其他外语。现代语言协会的调查显 示，在美国法语的入学率正在上升，现在已经是 20 多年来的最高水平。虽然任何语言在某些工作或某些地区都是有 用的，但法语是世界上广泛使用的少数几种外语之一，是英语之后世界上第二常用的语言。

法语国家国际组织有 56 个成员国和政府。其中有 28 个国家以法文为官方语言。法语是五大洲以外唯一使用英语的 语言。在为工作或学习决定外语时，请考虑到法语是一种在学习或职业生涯中给你最多选择机会的语言。

10

为什么选西班牙语? 可以选西班牙语 B HL 或 SL 或初级 ab initio 西班牙语是全球 20 个国家的主要语言。西班牙语是国际交流中第二大学习语言和第 二语言。每年学习西班牙语的人数都大大增加。美国公民选择学习的第二种语言中也 越来越多地是西班牙语。

学习语言需要特殊的技能，一旦学会了，就可以用其他语言流利地使用。 理解语言也 意味着理解不同社会文化丰富的方面。 为了在当今世界保持竞争力，有必要更多地了 解其他文化以及他们如何思考。 在为工作或学校决定外语时，考虑到西班牙语是一种 语言，可以在以后的学习或职业生涯中为您提供最多的选择。

为什么选中文普通话? 可以选普通话 B HL 或 SL 或初级 ab initio 这门课让你能够： 

培养你对中文跨文化的理解



在一系列你所学过的中文的语境和各种各样的目的中让你能够理解和使用中文



通过学习中文文章和社交交流，鼓励对来自其他文化的不同观点的意识和欣赏



了解语言在其他知识领域中所扮演的角色



为你在未来的学习、工作和休闲中使用中文奠定基础



通过中文的知识，给你提供享受的、创造的和智力促进的机会。

为什么选韩语? 可以选韩语 B HL 或 SL 韩语 B 是为有一些韩语基础的学生提供的额外的语言学习课程。该课程的主要侧重点在于 语言习得和语言技巧的培养。 学生将学习各种各样的主题，比如说环境、名人、当下或是历史的大事件、移民、音乐、 艺术、餐饮、流行、电影等等，来培养他们在听说读写和文化交流方面的能力。所学的文 章的种类包括：个人文本（博客、日记、邮件、个人信函）和大众媒体文本（广告、文 章、博客、小册子、电影、采访、评论、新闻报告、演讲 ）。

11

拉丁语（HL/SL） aere perennius（比青铜更持久） 霍勒斯颂歌 III.30 学习拉丁语是既刺激又愉快的。 建立在 IGCSE Latin奠定的基础之上， 你将巩固 和完善对语言的理解，并理解和欣赏各 种文献。 你的词汇量会增加，还可以获 得额外的好处，即能够在考试中使用字 典来查看没有学过的文本的翻译。

你获得了收到高度尊重且可以转移到其他领域的技能，并获得了敏感和批判性地处理语言的信心。 你将获得更多的 词汇来欣赏罗马人留给我们的丰富文学作品。 在课堂上准备好整套文本，检查文学技巧并生成自己对文学的回应。

课程简介 古典语言课程为学生提供探索古罗马语言、文学和文化的机会。对拉丁语的研究给予了对其产生的文化的重要见解， 并且导致对当代语言、文学和文化的更深入的理解。从根本上讲，对古典语言的研究是培养思维、发展批判性思维、 记忆和密切分析的技巧，以及对语言的美和力量的欣赏。

历史（HL/SL） 历史打开门！

许多高层职位都在历史学家的掌握之中。 具有历史学位，你可以立志成为 总理，新闻大亨和媒体大亨，英国广播公司的霸主，“地球上最有名的律 师”，坎特伯雷大主教，顶级外交官，牛津大学副校长，英国足球运动员， 世界上最富有的足球俱乐部，着名的喜剧演员或着名的流行音乐家，畅销小 说家，工会老板，商界百万富翁，甚至有一天是王国的君主。” 大卫尼科尔斯，历史教授

在IB历史上，学生学习德国和中国 等国家二十世纪的威权统治者

为什么学习 IB 历史？ IB历史是一门受到全球顶尖大学广泛尊重和认可的课程。 一个IB历史专业 的学生注重阅读，写作，批判性思维和比较评估等技能。 在其他职业路线 中，历史为那些有意成为律师，顾问，公务员以及对国际关系和政治感兴趣 的人提供了很好的背景。 了解历史对于理解现代世界的背景至关重要。 如 果不了解过去如何塑造这些问题，就不可能理解我们今天面临的复杂问题。 从这个意义上说，过去的知识是不可避免的。

历史使我们能够理解马丁·路德·金 （Martin Luther King）等个人在 实现社会变革中的重要性

HL 和 SL 历史有什么区别？ 许多学生提出这个问题。 事实上，高级和标准历史都需要相同的技能。 两 门课程之间的本质区别在于所涵盖的内容的数量。 学习“高级历史”的学 生将涉及“欧洲历史”的一个地区性主题。 这意味着他们将被要求增加一 份考试试卷。 因此，学习高级课程，可以使学生进一步发展自己的历史写 作和分析能力，并涵盖现代世界历史的另一个主要领域。

历史使我们能够理解意识形态对二 十世纪历史的影响，尤其是共产主 义对亚洲的影响

哲学 (HL / SL) “苏格拉底不教哲学，他教哲学思维” Daniel 和 Auriac.

课程大纲 NLCS 济州的哲学 IB 课程旨在教授学生如何以哲学的思维去思考。这意味 着学生必须认真思考人类曾经考虑过的一些最困难的问题。诸如这样的问 题：作为一个人是什么意思？什么是意识？什么是真理？有某种形式的神 存在吗？什么是道德正确的生活方式？我们有多自由去选择我们的行动？ 什么是正义？学习国际文凭哲学课程的学生将开始通过学习如何批判性分 析和评估一些世界上最伟大的思想家的答案来解决所有这些问题（以及更 多）。他们还将学习如何构建他们自己的复杂而精确的论点，以使其他人 相信他们对这些问题的个人观点可能是正确的。

国际文凭哲学课程背后的指导原则是基于技能的课程。哲学帮助我们获得的主要技能之一就是批判性思维。学习如 何做哲学的学生培养高质量的批判性思维技能，这对于成为独立思考者，以全球公民的道德生活，以及以逻辑和严 谨的方式学习所有其他学术科目是至关重要的。

虽然开始学这门课程不需要前期准备知识，但是选择哲学的人将会深入思考那些尚未得到解答的难题，并且会为参 加讨论和辩论而感到兴奋，在这些讨论和辩论中他们会考虑他人的观点并支持他们自己。能够为口头和书面的高质 量辩论做出贡献，是学生在整个课程中学习的具体技能之一。

因此，哲学学生需要做好准备，以前所未有的方式进行思考，成为富有创造力的解决问题的人，并且乐于打破复杂 的概念、观念和争论。学生将积极学习哲学文本，以及过去和现在最有影响力和关键的思想家的意见。

课程内容 高级和标准级： 核心主题：“作为人” •人类是否具有本质特征？ •我们的思想和我们的身体之间的关系是什么？

高级和标准级可选主题：“伦理” •道德理论的分析和评估。 我们应遵循什么道德规范？ •应用伦理。 在堕胎，安乐死，世界贫困，环境可持续性等问题上，我们如何解决现实生活中的道德困境？

心理学

(HL/SL)

心理学是一个迷人的学习领域。它将帮助你理解人的行为和心理过程，并让你更好地理解我们的行为和感觉。如果 你有兴趣深入了解人的状况，你应该考虑学习心理学。

“不要只成为事实的记录者， 而是要试图渗透事实起源的奥秘。” 伊凡·巴甫洛夫（1849-1936）

课程大纲 心理学是对心理过程和行为的严谨而系统的研究。这是一个复杂的主题，从多个不同学科来采纳概念、方法和理解。 由于人类是复杂的动物，具有高度发达的额叶、认知能力、涉及到社会结构和文化，因此没有单一的方法可以自行 描述或解释心理过程和行为。对行为和心理过程的研究需要多学科的方法和多种研究技术的使用，同时认识到行为 不是一个静态现象，它是适应性的，而且随着世界、社会和受到的挑战的变化，人的行为也产生变化。

IB 心理学的目标 1. 了解影响心理过程和行为的生物的、认知的、社会文化的种种因素 2. 把对影响心理过程和行为的生物的、认知的、社会文化的因素的理解转化为至少一个应用领域的研究 3. 了解不同的调查方法 4. 理解道德实践在心理学研究中的重要性，在自己的调查中遵守道德实践 5. 确保在所有的心理咨询和讨论中保持道德操守 6. 了解如何应用心理学研究来解决现实世界的问题并促进积极的变化

计算机科学(HL /SL) “编程与实际的东西使用没有任何关系，它更多的是用编程作为思考过程的一面镜子。 要真正学习如何思考。 我认 为这个国家的每个人都应该学习编程。 每个人都应该学习计算机语言，因为它教会你如何思考。 我认为计算机科学 是一门自由艺术。” 史蒂夫·乔布斯（苹果前首席执行官）

课程概述 计算机科学系包括一名 IB 考官和剑桥考试考官，他认为学习编程会教给学生如何创造性地思考。 计算机科学系相信 计算机不仅仅是将多学科学习结合起来的工具，而是包括更多。 该部门负责人正在 NLCS 济州进行编程的博士研究， 并利用这项研究制定了教学大纲，以促进学生的激情。

课程目标 •加强创新，知识获取和探索 •发展“计算思维”，进而发展“创造性思维” •吸取其他学科的广泛知识 •发展就业所需的现实技能

计算思维 计算思维是一种解决问题的方法论，适用于一系列学科，并支撑这一课程。 Jeanette Wing 在她的文章“计算思维”中指出的计算思维的六个原则是： •程序思考

•同时思考

•逻辑思维

•抽象地思考

•提前设想

•递归思考（仅限 HL）。

做出正确的数学科目选择 国际文凭预科课程数学课程大纲今年已发生重大变化。 学生现在需要决定他们数学课程的路径安排，而不 是简单地选择课程学习水平。 有两个选择：分析和方法科目，以及应用和解释科目。 这两类课程涵盖了 相同的主题，但是从不同的角度来深层次地看待各个主题，如下面的指导性的教学课程时间比较表所总结 的那样。 以下几页概述了这两门课程，但从广义上讲，分析与方法科目采用了更为理论化的纯数学方法， 而应用与解释科目则更为广泛。 它们的评估也略有不同，如后续页面的表格所示。

大学怎么说？ 希望在大学攻读对数学要求很高的专业比如物理学的学生应选择高级 HL 的分析和方法科目。 但是，在制作本手册时， 目前提供的信息非常少，因为还没有学生学过这些科目，因此没有过去的试卷或成绩分析。

一旦获得更多指导，我们将与学生和家长分享。 这个过程将从选项信息日的面向家长和学生的数学课程介绍开始。

视觉艺术 (HL / SL) IB 视觉艺术基于对我们真实世界的观察和解读，发展出探索和交流观念、意义的能力。 在日益数字化的世界中，艺术家运用传统的和 21 世纪的媒体来创造自己的视觉语言， 挑战他人的信仰和观点。

课程简介 在视觉艺术IB课程中，学生运用他们在以前的艺术和设计研究中发展出来的技术和流 程，创造一个个人化、直观的工作体系，将他们的反应传达给周围的世界。 学生们通过 在油画、干法蚀刻、纺织品和雕塑等方面开发更高水平的数字操作技能，拓宽了他们的 技能组合。

课程内容 过程档案 学生以数字写生开始课程——数字写生是学生艺术发展实践的一个记录，包括了学生对艺术家的研究、实践实验、 湿和干媒体观察记录，以及证据性的过程图像等。这些记录一起形成过程档案，记录他们如何研究、开发和产生出 他们的艺术品。

画室工作：绘画、印刷、雕塑、纺织品或基于屏幕的媒体工作 随着学生在课程的第一年进步，他们开始专注于他们选择的媒介。 他们开发自己的探究路径，在选择艺术家、设计 师和手工艺人的背景下独立完成作品。

比较研究 每个艺术家的旅程的一个基本部分是他们对从历史到现在的其他艺术家、设计师和手工艺者的工作的理解和回应。 学生对艺术史的探索是在一个扩展的比较研究中实现的。在这个研究中，学生解构了能够激发他们自己旅程的艺术 作品，并把它们放置在他们的文化背景中。作为 IB 视觉艺术课程的一个组成部分，学生会参观画廊，亲身体验别人 的作品，这样会需要少量费用。

个人作品展览 在为期两年的课程中，学生将在三个领域内完成工作：2D、3D 和数字化。这些最终积累出在 13 年级末的展出。这个 激动人心的展出活动，其背后是学生在整个学习期间定期参观艺术馆，对展览策划实践有更深入的了解，从而传达 出学生个人的视野。

17

大学申请作品集 向 HL 学生提供大学申请作品集的指导，来帮助他们在大学申请中选择艺术和设计方面的专业课程。

画廊和当下的电影节目 学生将在课程期间访问三家画廊，考虑策展实践。 作为批判和背景研究的一部分，还将向他们介绍一系列全球艺术 家。

高级或标准水平？ 高级水平的学生将探索更广泛的媒体和流程，开发更多实质性的作品集。除此之外，两个水平提供的挑战性在给定 的时间内是相同的。
