IB Group 2: Second Language

Globalisation has changed everything about the way we work, travel and are educated. The job market today is unrecognisable from that of even a decade ago and we can only imagine what it will be like a decade from now. As part of a global community, Britain welcomes migrants from around the globe to join its job market. Young adults are, therefore, increasingly required to speak a second language and have the skills to pick up a third and fourth.

Through group 2 subjects students develop skills in the acquisition and use of language in a range of contexts and for different purposes. They gain an understanding of another culture through the study of its language.

Group 2 subjects: English, French, German, Latin, Russian, Spanish, Mandarin.
