The Group 2: Language acquisition (previously Second Language) subjects of the IB Diploma Programme consist of the nearly 80 additional languages offered and may be studied at the following levels: B (SL or HL), or ab initio (SL only).〔Schools' Guide to IBDP, p. 10.〕 Latin and Classical Greek are also offered and may be taken at SL or HL.〔 To earn an IB Diploma, a candidate must study an additional language, though a second Language A may be taken instead of studying that language as a Group 2 subject.〔 == Language ''ab initio'' SL== If a student has no previous background in a given language, then that student may study that language as an ''ab initio'' SL subject. Such a course focuses on giving the student basic knowledge of both the language in everyday use and the culture of the places where it is spoken. The standard reached by the student after two years is considerably lower than that reached in language B. ;Curriculum For students to achieve communicative competence in a variety of situations, the following core topics are explored in the Language ''ab initio'' course: the individual, education and work, town and services, food and drink, leisure and travel, the environment, health and emergencies. The language skills that are taught and assessed are: listening, reading, writing, speaking and cultural awareness.〔Language ab initio subject guide 2002, p. 13.〕 ;Assessment ''Internal Assessment'' — (30% of total grade) for a Language ''ab initio'' consists of the average of two oral presentations, one of which is to be given to the teacher, recorded and sent out for moderation. The other is an interactive oral activity and can be individual or group.〔Language ab initio subject guide 2002, p. 28.〕 ''External Assessment'' — (70% of total grade) for Language ''ab initio'' includes paper 1, consisting of 3–4 reading comprehension texts and paper 2, consisting of one short writing task and one extended-response writing task.〔 For the oral and written components of the assessments, students receive marks based on their level of competency in use of language, presentation and communication skills.〔Language ab initio subject guide 2002, p. 39.〕 For reading comprehension, students receive a grade based on a markscheme (answer key) for questions that are multiple-choice, short-answer, true/false/justify, matching and extended response.〔 ;Availability Spanish ''ab initio'' and Mandarin ''ab initio'' are offered online to students enrolled in the IB Diploma Programme.〔(Pamoja Education Courses )〕〔(International Baccalaureate Organisation )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IB Group 2 subjects」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
