NLCS Jeju IGCSE Options Information Introduction for students This is an exciting time in your education at NLCS Jeju. As you move into Year 10, you will begin courses that will lead to external assessment and IGCSE certificates. More importantly, you have the chance to make some choices about the subjects you study for the next two years. You begin to take ownership of your education, and hence, your future pathway to university and beyond. Most students within the British education system follow a two-year course in Years 10 and 11 based on General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) courses. IGCSE is the international version of a GCSE assessment. It is more examination based and questions are more likely to have an international context. At the end of Year 11, you will take IGCSE exams in a broad range of subjects. Each subject is awarded an individual grade on either an A*-G or 9-1 scale, with grades of A*-C or 9-6 commonly accepted as passing grades. Your IGCSE results will help inform your choices in the Sixth Form when you select subjects in the IB Diploma programme. It also provides you, the school, your parents and universities with a clear idea of your level of achievement in Years 10 and 11. It is therefore important that your choice allows future pathways to your chosen university or career aspirations, but also is based upon subjects that enable you to succeed. For this reason, second language choices at IGCSE are dependent upon prior study or experience; they are not normally beginner courses, and if you wish to learn a language from the beginning there are options within the IB to facilitate a new language at that stage. You need to make sure that you are making informed decisions for the right reasons, and teachers at NLCS Jeju will assist you, and offer advice, in making that decision. If you wish to change your IGCSE subjects once the timetable is constructed it may not be possible. There will only be one opportunity to request a change to your subject choices, and this is at the start of Year 10. This will be considered on an individual basis and may only be possible if the timetable allows it. At NLCS we endeavor to give every student their first-choice combination of subjects. In some circumstances, this may not be possible. Therefore, it is important to consider reserve subjects should they be required. It is advised that you discuss your potential choies with your tutor, classroom teachers, parents, and university guidance counselor. However, it is your decision, your future and your responsibility to make the decision that is right for you.

The IGCSE curriculum at NLCS Jeju At NLCS Jeju, all students will study a core programme that includes the following subjects: English First Language English Language and Literature are taken by most students and this will count as two IGCSEs. It will be appropriate for some students to take a more accessible English language pathway and we will notify parents and students if we feel that this is the right option. Mathematics All students take IGCSE mathematics. Some students will also take Additional Mathematics IGCSE. This decision will be made based on assessment in Year 10 and the beginning of Year 11 and will be communicated to students and parents in Year 11. Sciences All three Sciences are compulsory. Humanities Students chose one from: History, Geography (but have the ability to pick a second humanity as below). Physical Education (non-examined) PSD (non-examined) Options In addition to the core programme, students can choose three other subjects from the following (please also choose a reserve option subject):
Korean (compulsory for Korean Nationals) Mandarin First Language Mandarin Second Language (normally 2 years prior study or appropriate equivalent) Spanish French Latin Art Drama Music Dance Computer Science A second Humanity subject; either History, or Geography
Korean is compulsory for Korean nationals and this course will lead to an IGCSE qualification. Korean Language and Korean History national curriculum requirements will also be covered. Where identified by the school, a small minority of students may be targeted for additional learning or language support, and will follow a programme in substitute to an IGCSE option in order to support them in accessing their remaining IGCSE curriculum. The following pages contain course descriptions that have been prepared by Departments to give you a clearer idea of what you will study in each subject area in Years 10 and 11. Please read these carefully, particularly those related to Optional subjects, before making your choices.

Korean as a First Language IGCSE Examination Board: University of Cambridge International Examinations
“As our language is different from that of China, the poor citizenshave no means to express what they have in mind. With sympathy to those people, I have newly made 28 Korean alphabets. And I only hope that people can learn these alphabets easily for their own convenient use.” Sejong Great King, the Korean Alphabet creator
Course Information Korean as a First Language is designed for learners whose first language is Korean. Learners develop an understanding of literal meaning, relevant contexts and of the deeper themes or attitudes that may be expressed. Learners are also encouraged to read widely, both for their own enjoyment and in order to develop an appreciation of how writers achieve their effects. The Korean as a First Language qualification develops more general analysis and communication skills such as synthesis, inference, and the ability to order facts and present opinions effectively. Language is a vehicle for thought, creativity, reflection, learning and selfexpression. Language is a tool for personal growth, social interaction and for developing relationships within the international community. NLCS Jeju recognizes the benefits and encourages students to maintain their home language. It is crucial for the intellectual and cultural development of individuals that they continue to learn their home language. Too often international students miss out on the foundations of language development in their home language. At NLCS Jeju, we acknowledge that language is fundamental to learning and permeates every subject area and support Korean language courses for all year levels. IGCSE Korean language program equips student to communicate successfully and happily in an internationally mobile community.

IGCSE English Literature Examination Board: University of Cambridge International Examinations
“Polonius: What do you read, my lord? Hamlet: Words, words, words.� Shakespeare
Course Information This idea, that all Literature has at its heart an exploration of the human condition or what it means to be human, is one that poets, playwrights, authors and readers alike have experienced and enjoyed since the birth of storytelling itself. To engage with stories and literature of any kind is to share in an exploration of the fundamental issues of human existence. As a reader or writer, you are challenged to address some of the most vital and pertinent questions it is possible to ask of humanity: What does it mean to lead a good life? What is the nature of evil? Does truth exist? What determines behaviour? Is freedom an illusionary ideal? Perhaps, the truly exciting aspect of this questioning is that it is not a finite process where answers and absolutes are reached but that, instead, discourse and discussion evolves continuously and that many of these ideas are left tantalizingly unresolved. The study of English at IGCSE is particularly rewarding and aims to develop a host of skills through the exploration of a range of literary texts and topics. Students will enjoy the scope it provides to pursue individual reading interests alongside more traditional texts; the opportunity to consider individual and creative responses to texts and to be stretched in their thinking and understanding. On completion of the course, students will be equipped with the necessary qualities to engage with the world around them as critical thinkers able to empathise with the perspectives, opinions and values of others in situations that they themselves may not even have encountered.

“The medium is the message.� Marshall McLuhan
Course Information The IGCSE in English Language is a key entry qualification to higher education and employment and is, in itself, a challenging and thought-provoking course. The course aims to improve the knowledge and understanding of students in relation to the way they use language and how they interpret its use in the world around them. Everyday we are bombarded with information in a variety of forms and guises and it is crucial that we are equipped with the necessary tools to filter it and make sense of it all. For example, how are our emotions and feelings manipulated through the art of persuasion? How do broadcasters and journalists strive to influence us with their rhetoric? What information is of value and what is wholly unreliable? The study of English Language at IGCSE brings students closer to being able to analyse language critically, and to thus be able to engage with the modern world in an appropriately independent and well-informed fashion. Throughout the course students will develop specific skills in inference, exploration, language analysis and deduction alongside the more general skills of selection, synthesis and organisation. In conjunction with this, students will also develop the ability to write for a range of purposes and for a variety of audiences with a clear focus on writing in an engaging and coherent style. Whilst completing the coursework component, students are able to pursue an individual interest or area of study. The focus of this unit is centred on independent research and learning, providing invaluable preparation for further study.
Assessment Assessment Objectives Paper 2: Reading Passages (Extended) (2 hours, 50 marks) Structured and extended writing questions based on two reading passages. Paper 3: Directed Writing and Composition (2 hours, 50 marks) An extended writing question and a composition task.

IGCSE French Foreign Language Examination Board: University of Cambridge International Examinations Why learn French? 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 the only foreign language that can be useful throughout the world. French as a foreign language is the second most frequently taught language in the world after English. The International Organization of Francophonie has 56 member states and governments. 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 the language that will give you the most choices later on in your studies or your career. French, along with English, is the official working language of The United Nations/ UNESCO/ NATO/ Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) / The International Labor Bureau / The International Olympic Committee / The 31-member Council of Europe / The European Community / The Universal Postal Union / The International Red Cross / Union of International Associations (UIA)
French is the dominant working language at
The European Court of Justice The European Tribunal of First Instance The Press Room at the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium
Of the various types of professional positions for which international organizations recruit, four required French, two Spanish, and one Arabic, according to the fact sheet released by the Bureau of International Organization Affairs of the U.S. Department of State (October 2011).

IGCSE Spanish Foreign Language Examination Board: University of Cambridge International Examinations Why learn Spanish?
Spanish is the primary language of 20 countries worldwide. Spanish is the second language and second language in international communication. Every year the number of people studying Spanish grows significantly.
Traditionally, people educated in the United States have not been obligated to learn another language beyond English. But times have changed. Globalization, particularly in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (due in part to the North American Free Trade Agreement [NAFTA]), has elevated the increasing importance of being able to communicate with citizens from other countries. Increasingly, the second language U.S. citizens are choosing to learn is Spanish. Trends today show that young people are studying Spanish in record numbers. Indeed, education in an international setting is becoming a top mandate for governments because countries need to compete economically. According to Businessweek, for example, more students studying for an MBA in today's world are choosing to become trilingual by learning English, French, and Spanish. Moreover, two of the top ten MBA schools outside the U.S. are located in Spain. Employment opportunities continue to increase for those who are fluent in both Spanish and English due to an ever-increasing population of Spanish-speaking people. This means that being bilingual (Spanish and English) will continue to become more valuable. 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 that we learn more about other cultures and how they think.

IGCSE Mathematics Examination Board: University of Cambridge International Examinations
‘To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty of nature, … if you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in’ Richard Feynman, American Physicist (1918 – 1988)
Mathematics is one of humankind’s greatest intellectual achievements. Mathematics is both ancient and modern and is built up historically from international influences through time. The technological triumphs of the modern age depend upon the mathematics generated over the millennium and now modern mathematics enters an exciting phase of new discovery. The world around us has provided the impetus for much of the developments in mathematics. These features of the world have led to challenging problems of explaining, depicting, and modeling the universe as we experience it. How can we represent the three-dimensional in a flat drawing? Mathematics lies at the heart of everything we encounter. Within the problem-solving framework, there are many mathematical skills which pupils need to have at their fingertips. These involve more than just numeric, geometric and algebraic manipulation. They include strategies such as: modeling, working systematically, generalizing, and visualizing. A diverse element of skills is required to engage in problem solving. Even though the science that we come in contact with, most of the products we use, depends on activities in higher mathematics, our everyday encounters are more likely to lie in number and with statistics and probability. Numbers as predictors and risk assessors help us to make decisions.

IGCSE Additional Mathematics (Optional) Examination Board: University of Cambridge International Examinations
‘The study of mathematics, like the Nile, begins in minuteness but ends in magnificence.’ Charles Caleb Colton Mathematics is of paramount importance to the Physical and Engineering Sciences and very significant in the Economic, Social and Biological Sciences. Mathematics is the essential tool with which scientists formulate theories and analyse their consequences. As well as being remarkably effective in applications, Mathematics has been studied in its own right for centuries because of its elegance and beauty. Few people will remain totally unmoved by their first verification of such results as the theorem of Pythagoras, or Euler's formula for the vertices, faces and edges of any convex polyhedron (e.g. a pyramid or a cube). The curiosity that leads to such results is a vital force that continues to inspire the mathematician Mathematics is a powerful tool with many applications. Numerous academic and professional disciplines, including ones that are not traditionally quantitative, require mathematical preparation. For this reason, advanced mathematical training leads to numerous career opportunities. At the same time, mathematics is a self-contained subject that is worth studying simply for its elegance. While challenging at times, the study of mathematics can bring a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Mathematics is an ideal subject for people who enjoy abstract thinking. Students performing exceptionally well throughout year 10 & 11 will have the option to sit the 0606 additional mathematics paper. This will be decided in conjunction with the student and their family in or around January of year 11.

国际普通中等文凭学位 西班牙语 考试委员会:剑桥大学国际考试局 为什么西班牙语?
西班牙语是世界上20个国家的主要语言。
西班牙语是人数第二多的学习语言和在国际交流中的第二大语言。
每年学习西班牙的人数都在明显增加。
传统上,在美国接受教育的人没有义务去学英语之外的另一种语言。但时代在改变。全球化,特别是在美国、加拿 大和墨西哥(一部分原因是由于北美自由贸易协定[NAFTA]),导致与来自不同国家的公民交流的重要性日益提高。越 来越多的美国公民选择学习西班牙语作为第二种语言。 现在的趋势表明,学习西班牙语的年轻人创记录。确实,在国际化的大背景下接受教育已经成为政府的首要任务, 因为国家必须在经济上竞争。根据商业周刊报道,更多的选择学习工商管理硕士的学生通过学习英语、法语和西班 牙语成为会三种语言的人。另外,10 个在美国之外的一流的工商管理硕士学校,有两个在西班牙。 那些熟练西班牙语和英语的人的就业机会持续增长,因为说西班牙语的人口日益增长。这意味着,成为双语(西班 牙语和英语)人才仍将越来越有价值。获取语言需要特殊的技能, 一旦学会,你可以熟练使用其他语言。理解一门 语言意味着你能理解不同社会的文化丰富的方面。在当今世界保持你的竞争力,学习更多关于其他文化和其他文化 中的人是如何思考的,这有不可替代的意义。
