Language Acquisition in the MYP
Acquiring an additional language and exploring and reflecting on the cultural perspectives of our own and other communities is central to developing critical thinking and international-mindedness. These courses provide an intellectual framework to support personal development, cultural identity, and conceptual understanding. Language acquisition greatly contributes to the holistic development of students and equips students with the necessary multi-literacy skills and attitudes to communicate successfully in various global contexts.
The study of additional languages in the MYP provides students with the opportunity to develop insights into the features, processes and craft of language and the concept of culture, and to realize that there are diverse ways of living, behaving, and viewing the world.
