Available at both higher and standard levels, the language B courses are designed for students with some previous experience of learning the target language.
The focus of these courses is on language acquisition and the development of skills considerably beyond those expected of an ab initio candidate, up to a fairly sophisticated degree at higher level.
Language B courses give students the opportunity to reach a high degree of competence in a language and explore the culture(s) using the language. The range of purposes and situations for which and in which the language is used extends well beyond those at ab initio, to conceptual understandings related to Identities, experiences, Human Ingenuity, social organization and sharing the planet. The types of language needed for these purposes and situations are more refined.
