Anglais: Langue/Littérature

The syllabus aims:

  • to encourage and develop the enjoyment and appreciation of literature in English, based on an informed personal response, and
  • to develop the ability to analyse and discuss that response and the texts which produced it, in a cogent and organised manner.

The examination assesses the candidates' response to literature by allowing them to display:

  • knowledge of the works studied and the historical and personal contexts in which they were written;
  • understanding extending from simple factual comprehension to a recognition and conception of the nature and significance of literary texts and the issues and ideas which they raise;
  • analysis the ability to develop and explain their response, and to identify and describe literary effects;
  • judgement the capacity to make critical assessments and judgements of value based on close reading; the capacity to answer questions on specific aspects and features of a text by selecting relevant material for discussion;
  • cultural the ability to appreciate the character and significance of texts
  • awareness produced in a language and culture which may not be their own;
  • expression the ability to express, in fluent and effective English, ideas, opinions and responses in organised and cogent essays on literary subjects - probably (although not compulsorily) following the characteristics of a formal written register; the ability to engage in an informed literary discussion.

Choice of works

Each year, a list of authors and set works to be available for choice by schools in the examination in two years' time is agreed by teachers and submitted to Cambridge for approval. The authors chosen could be British, American, Commonwealth or any others whose works were written originally in English. An effort is made to represent a variety of historical periods, with approximately half representing twentieth century writing. The choices of set works fall into four categories:

Anglais: Histoire/Géographie

The syllabus aims to develop the skills of the historian and the geographer, including the following:

  • The ability to extract and classify information from a variety of sources.
  • The ability to assess and interpret material.
  • The ability to place material in its relevant context.
  • The ability to give a coherent synthesis of the material in written and oral form.
  • The ability to show a proper awareness of characteristics of places and events and the interaction between them.
  • The use of relevant and precise examples to illustrate an answer.
  • The syllabus seeks to provide an introduction to History and Geography as separate disciplines and to develop both an understanding of historical and geographical concepts, and of concepts in History and Geography.

e.g.

  • Historical concepts: Change and continuity, Cause and effect, Similarity and difference
  • Concepts in History: Totalitarianism, democracy, communism
  • Geographical concepts: Space, environment, region, networks, flows, zones
  • Concepts in Geography: Urbanisation, industrialisation, underdevelopment

Students should be able to use the knowledge gained from one discipline to develop a greater understanding of the other.

Further aims of the History programme

The syllabus aims to provide an international context in the teaching of History. It also aims to encourage the development of independent thought and judgement and an awareness of different and conflicting interpretations of the past.

Specifically, the syllabus aims:

  • To increase knowledge and understanding of the past.
  • To identify and study the major themes that have characterised the 20th Century and to provide a clear explanation of the contemporary world.
  • To develop an imaginative and sympathetic approach to people and events in the past. To see History from the points of view of those in the past.

Further aims of the Geography programme

The overall concern of the Geography programme is to study the relationship between people and their environment and to explain the spatial organisation of the world. It aims:

  • To increase knowledge and understanding of contemporary problems at different scales from local to global.
  • To develop an understanding of the significance of spatial scale and time scale in geographical systems, distributions and environments.
  • To increase knowledge and understanding of different socio-cultural groups, their spatial organisation and their interrelationships.

Preámbulo

Este curso se presenta como continuación o desarrollo del curso anterior. El objetivo de este curso es el dominio del análisis de obras literarias, a través de las diversas técnicas ya señaladas para Première. En la metodología empleada se tendrá en cuenta que la prueba de OIB consta de dos partes, una oral y otra escrita, que suponen técnicas diferenciadas de análisis.

Objetivos generales de la asignatura

  1. Consolidar y ampliar la competencia comunicativa en la lengua española.
  2. Desarrollar la capacidad de expresión oral y escrita.
  3. Enseñar a leer críticamente y a reflexionar sobre cualquier tipo de texto.
  4. Iniciar al alumno en el conocimiento de la Literatura española e hispanoamericana.
  5. Insertar la obra literaria en su marco históricocultural.
  6. Conocer y analizar en profundidad, tanto lingüística como literariamente, algunos fragmentos y obras fundamentales de nuestra literatura, con especial referencia al S. XX.
  7. Fomentar el gusto por la lectura.

Al ser continuación directa del curso de Première, el curso de Terminale tiene los mismos objetivos y utiliza la misma metodología que en Première, teniendo en cuenta que Terminale es un curso de fin de etapa educativa en el que, además, el alumno deberá ser capaz de superar las pruebas de la OIB. Por ello, los objetivos fundamentales de este curso son:

  • Ámbito lingüístico : continuación del objetivo señalado en Première, en el curso de Terminale el alumno deberá alcanzar un nivel de corrección en el manejo de la lengua española que le permita poder seguir estudios superiores (universitarios).
  • Ámbito literario : conocer la historia de la literatura española e hispanoamericana desde el siglo XX hasta la actualidad, a partir de la lectura y análisis de textos y obras escogidos de entre los más representativos de este período.
  • Ámbito de formación, desarrollo y consolidación de un pensamiento crítico : desarrollar y consolidar la lectura crítica y el comentario de textos, de manera que el alumno sea capaz de construir un juicio crítico y personal de un texto u obra y, tras este curso, esté en condiciones de proseguir su formación autónomamente.

En la consecución de estos objetivos se aplicará una metodología enfocada a la superación de las pruebas de la OIB, tal y como se configuran en la normativa vigente. Esta metodología consistirá en :

  • Para desarrollar la competencia comunicativa : exponer oralmente y por escrito el contenido significativo y la interpretación de un texto, mostrando el manejo de las técnicas del comentario de textos y del análisis de obras completas.
  • Para el conocimiento de la literatura del período estudiado : lectura de 6 obras o antología selectas escogidas de entre las señaladas en el programa.
