eChinese IB is a single class that encompasses both Standard Level (SL) and High Level (HL) curricula. It is designed to follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) in Language B (first assessment 2020). IBDP Mandarin B is a language acquisition course, designed for students with some previous experience of the target language. In the Chinese Language B course, students further develop their ability to communicate in the Chinese language through the study of language, themes, and texts. In doing so, they also develop conceptual understandings of how language works as appropriate to the level of the course. The distinction between Mandarin B Standard Level (SL) and High Level (HL) can be seen in the level of competency the student is expected to develop in their receptive, productive, and interactive skills. The study of two literary works originally written in the Chinese language is required only in Mandarin B HL.
