Oxford IB Diploma Programme: English A1 Course Companion

The English A1 Course Companion provides a comprehensive foundation for students engaging with literature in their first language. Developed in collaboration with the IB, this book guides learners through the transition from simple reading to the complex interpretation of diverse literary forms, including poetry, drama, prose, and non-fiction.

This companion is particularly valued for its focus on the "World Literature" component, helping students explore cultural contexts and different perspectives. It emphasizes the development of independent thinking and provides the tools necessary for students to construct persuasive, evidence-based arguments in both their written assignments and oral presentations. Whether tackling the Individual Oral Commentary (IOC) or the final written papers, this resource ensures students are equipped with a sophisticated critical vocabulary.
