Webinar: Boosting Reading and Writing in IBDP Language B

Reading and writing are key components in Language B. How can we boost reading and writing in the classroom? What are the main challenges our students face when confronting a reading comprehension or a piece of writing? In this webinar, we are going to focus on practical examples to improve the DP language B student’s reading and writing skills. From digital texts to visual cues, the use of synonyms, and the power of linking new words and expressions to produce better texts. Teachers will learn new strategies in order to improve these two areas of the language learned in the classroom.
