IB Spanish SL is a two-year long course, and can only be taken during the junior and senior years of high school. I have been enrolled in IB Spanish for the 2018-2019 school year, and the 2019-2020 school year.
IB Spanish focuses on improving speaking of the Spanish language, as well as teaching more difficult grammar concepts as well as new vocabulary. There is an emphasis on learning culture within Spanish-speaking countries, and understanding the history and importance of traditions within them. During the second year of IB Spanish, regardless of it is SL or HL, students will complete five Talk Abroad conversations with native Spanish speakers. Talk Abroad is a company that allows language learners to connect and have a conversation with native speakers of that language over a video chat, and allows a more personal connection to a country and what individual life is like there versus here in the United States.
