IB English B SL is a language-acquisition course for students learning English as an additional language. It develops communicative competence across five prescribed themes: Identities (lifestyles, beliefs and values); Experiences (travel, customs and life stories); Human Ingenuity (technology, entertainment and the arts); Social Organisation (community, education and the workplace); and Sharing the Planet (the environment, human rights and globalisation). Every theme pairs the vocabulary and text types with the grammar and register examiners expect you to control — including verb tenses, articles, prepositions, and natural English word order.

These notes are organised across seven study units — the five themes plus dedicated units on text types, grammar, Paper 1 writing, Paper 2 listening, Paper 2 reading, and the individual oral — so you can revise systematically for Paper 1 (one 250–400-word written task, 25%), Paper 2 (listening and reading, 50%), and the internally assessed individual oral (25%). SL students focus on producing clear, well-organised English and responding to authentic spoken and written texts.
