How to Ace IB Mandarin B (DP 1) – Reading Comprehension (Paper 2)

Welcome to the How to Ace IB Mandarin B (DP 1) – Reading Comprehension (Paper 2) workbook. This resource will help you practice and revise fully throughout your first year in the Mandarin B HL/SL course. Reading Comprehension (Paper 2) in the Mandarin B course The Language B course is for students with an intermediate level of previous study in and/or exposure to the target language. The typical Language B student will have received target language instruction for at least two years, or may have lived in a target language culture for a number of years, or may have target language-speaking parents etc. This language acquisition course builds upon that foundation. Educators realise however that every student’s entry point into the Language B course is slightly different and that often students need that extra support to be able to tackle the challenges with confidence and with the required foundation. This Reading Comprehension workbook is specifically aimed at supporting Language B students in their first year in the DP course. All the texts have been taken from examination papers in the Ab Initio (beginners’) course. There is a clear understanding that the end point of the Ab Initio course coincides largely with the entry point of the Language B courses. We therefore believe that a resource made up of Ab Initio final assessments is the perfect tool to help Language B students ensure that they have the required starting level in vocabulary, grammar, syntax and cultural awareness. In addition, this workbook further develops the essential reading skills that form part of every language course’s formative and summative assessment. This workbook is the perfect companion for Language B students to practice their reading comprehension both in class (activities, assessments, term and end-of-year 1 exams) and in their independent study (homework, extra practice, pair work, assessment preparation). The Language B course and the Language Ab Initio course share the same five main themes :

❖ Identities

❖ Experiences

❖ Human ingenuity

❖ Social organization

❖ Sharing the planet

In the Language Ab Initio course these five themes are each subdivided into four topics, which is not the case in the Language B course. The latter provides for a broader input from the teachers and the students and goes into more depth in each of these themes. However, for easy reference to and retrieval of topic-specific reading comprehension exercises (and associated tasks and activities), this workbook follows the way in which the Language Ab Initio course has been divided up into the five themes and the twenty topics :

Through the revision of many years’ worth of past IB reading comprehension papers the Language B students will revise and further familiarize themselves with the topic-specific vocabulary. They will be able to revise and practise the vocabulary and the grammatical concepts learned and to apply these in authentic reading comprehension exercises. In addition, they will be able to practise key structures, develop their oral skills and complete creative and personalized writing tasks. Through regular practice the students will soon have a complete overview of the requirements, the key vocabulary, the grammar points and the creative writing opportunities that characterize this course. They will then be ready to move on to authentic Language B reading comprehension tasks and thus test their knowledge and understanding in the Individual Oral examination, the Paper 1 creative writing and the Paper 2 reading and listening comprehension exercises.

To the students : How to use this workbook ?

This workbook encourages you to review the relevant vocabulary and grammar through guided reading and to apply the vocabulary and the grammar points in IB-style speaking and writing tasks. The workbook is structured on the five main themes of the Langauge Ab Initio course, and within each theme the texts and exercises are arranged by topic. Within each topic you will find the following sections: Intro : Authentic Reading Comprehension text This text has been taken from a past IB Mandarin Ab Initio Reading Comprehension exam paper (reference to the paper and to the sources has been made) and forms the basis for the exercises in this section. For some of the topics several past paper texts have been included for analysis. In this case, the texts are arranged in chronological order. Part 1 : Key vocabulary The key vocabulary has been listed so that you can study any new words prior to reading the source text. Make sure you practise the spelling as well as the pronunciation ! Part 2 : Sentence drills For each text two sentence structures and/or grammar points have been highlighted. Study or revise them before applying them to the sample sentences provided. Part 3 : Reading comprehension Once the vocabulary and the grammar points have been studied, do an intensive and detailed reading of the source text. As you complete this reading, ask your teacher for a copy of the corresponding “Question and

Answer” paper. You can complete this paper for practice, as homework or in class. Your teacher will also be able to provide you with the corresponding mark scheme so you can check your answers. Part 4 : Oral practice Once you have studied the vocabulary, the grammar and the content of this past paper, conduct a creative oral task according to set instructions. This will help you improve your pronunciation and oral fluency. Try to be personal and use as many key words and grammar points from the source text as possible. As a Language B student, challenge yourself to use complex vocabulary and grammar points, and try to construct verbal exchanges of considerable length. Part 5 : Guided writing This section builds on the previous one and helps you practise your writing skills. You will find authentic Composition instructions on the topic being studied. Practise these tasks in preparation for the more advanced assessments that will follow in yor course and again, use key words and key grammar points from the source text. Each writing task comes with three possible text types – choose the most appropriate text type for the given task by applying what you have learned about Conceptual Understandings in language acquisition. Complementary resources It is important that you use this workbook in conjunction with the “Mandarin B Portfolio” for topic-based vocabulary and sample sentences that you can use in your creative speaking and writing; Your task In order to make full use of this resource, follow these steps :

• complete the study of a unit/topic in class;

• study the vocabulary and the grammar points related to the topic of study in this workbook;

• complete the Comprehension exercise(s). Your teacher will give you the “Question and Answer” booklet of the relevant examination session;

• use the “Mandarin B Portfolio” to start constructing your personal speaking and writing;

The Language Ab Initio Student Workbook

The Language Ab Initio Student Workbook covers all the components of this language acquisition course and provides a step-by-step guide to the various assessments. Each component is broken down into its various parts and plenty of advice and practice are provided in order to ensure that the student is fully prepared when it matters most. This workbook focuses on reading, writing, listening and speaking and is supported by online resources on the author’s website (www.mihunlimited.com). The introduction of a personal Portfolio helps the student create an ongoing record of their learning and allows them to manipulate the language according to the assessment tasks, the formats and the criteria. By making language learning fun and personal, the Ab Initio student will find a great deal of motivation to create, share and reflect on content and culture in the target language.
