IB Spanish B SL2 is year two of a two-year course of study. Year two of this course builds on the language acquisition and development of language skills from year one.  These language skills are developed through the study and use of a range of written and spoken material. Such material will extend from the everyday oral exchanges to literary texts. Thematic units include identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organization, and sharing the planet. students learn to communicate in the target language in familiar and unfamiliar contexts. The distinction between language B SL and HL can be seen in the level of competency the student is expected to develop in receptive, productive, and interactive skills.  IB assessments focus on the ability to communicate clearly and effectively in a range of contexts and for a variety of purposes; to understand and use language appropriate to a range of interpersonal and/or intercultural contexts and audiences; to understand and use language to express and respond to a range of ideas with fluency and accuracy; to dentify, organize and present ideas on a range of topics; and to understand, analyse and reflect upon a range of written, audio, visual and audio-visual texts. For the SL individual oral internal assessment, the stimulus at language B SL is a visual image that is clearly relevant to one (or more) of the themes of the course.
