Did you know (about the IB programme)...
That some universities require English language proficiency tests for admission of students of other nationalities? Completing an IB English literature class is comparable with the widely used Common European Framework of Reference (1/3)
for Languages (CEFR). Students who receive a score of 5 or above in IB English literature, therefore, do not usually have to complete the CEFR for admission - another benefit of taking IB courses for university-focussed students. A recent study commissioned by IB (2/3)
examined how grades in IB language courses compare to levels on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Findings are summarized in the picture attached. Questions about the IB programme at Bellerose? Email our IB coordinator at [email protected] (3/3)
