Language A is the language you speak the best, within the IB language subject. The group has purely literature subjects, language and literature subjects and language and performance. Literature and language and literature are the most often offered subjects. I am studying both. I have Finnish Literature and English Language and Literature (I usually refer to Lang&Lit in this blog).
I took Lang&Lit at RCN also. The subject of course has the same themes and subjects here and there, but at least in my opinion the speeches and news articles we look at here are better and more interesting. Political speeches, news articles and articles about how culture affects us are among the topics we have looked at. The language part is divided in 2 different parts and the literature part is also divided into 2 parts.
The language parts are language in a cultural context and Mass Media.
We are now done with the the first part and we had our Further Oral Activity presentations. I analysed Kennedy's inaugural address and did well. The Further Oral Activity is a part of the Internal Assessment for Lang&Lit. Later this school year and next year we will study literature.
I wanted to originally take Swedish B instead of Finnish Literature, but I wouldn't have had enough Higher Levels then. Finnish Literature has been nice for the first part. We have read 3 books now. We did part 4: Literature and Film and read The Great Gatsby, The memoirs of a Geisha and P.S. I love you. Next we will read 3 books for world literature (part 1). I can't really say anything else about Finnish Literature since I've only had it for a bit over a month.
