Assessment is carried out through a variety of tasks including homework, quizzes, essay
writing, oral presentations, interviews, and semester examinations. All students are
expected to take the external examination.
Where students’ levels of proficiency allow, and when class enrollment is low, there is a
possibility that students could be grouped in one class for the IB Language B program.
IB Ab Initio French and Spanish Grade 11, 12
Pre-requisite: None
2 years, 1 credit per year
Ab Initio French and Ab Initio Spanish are courses designed specifically for students with no
previous experience in either French or Spanish. The ISM Modern Language Department
believes students should always continue in their chosen target language, aiming at the
highest possible proficiency. Grade 11 students who need to complete the full IB Diploma,
but have none, or extremely limited exposure to a foreign language studied at ISM will be
able to choose one of these courses.
