Today, we're going to explore the assessment criteria for the Language Acquisition part of the MYP. Can anyone tell me what those criteria assess?
I think they assess how well we understand and use the language.
Exactly! Specifically, we focus on four criteria: Criterion A evaluates understanding spoken and visual text, Criterion B for written comprehension, Criterion C for speaking, and Criterion D for writing abilities. Remember the acronym 'ABSW' - A for audio comprehension, B for written, S for speaking, and W for writing!
How do we know which criteria applies to our projects?
Great question! Every project you undertake will be linked to specific criteria. For example, in our 'Cultural Exchange Blog' project, you'll mainly be assessed on Criterion A, B, and D. Can anyone connect how they use these skills in that project?
We research cultural practices, write comparisons, and present our ideas!
Precisely! And by enhancing these skills, you improve your language acquisition overall. Well done!
Let’s switch gears and discuss the assessment criteria for Language and Literature. Who can remind me what these criteria are?
I think there are also four criteria: A, B, C, and D!
Exactly! 'ABC' - Analysing, Organizing, Producing, and Using language. How do you think these criteria apply to our 'Book-to-Film Adaptation Review' activity?
We analyze the film's interpretation compared to the book?
Exactly, we will assess your ability to analyze using Criterion A and how you organize your review based on Criterion B. Remember the mnemonic 'A.O.U.' to keep these in mind! How would you use these criteria to write a substantive critique?
We should compare the themes, character development, and maybe cinematography too!
Fantastic! By understanding how each criterion connects to your tasks, you can enhance your proficiency in literature and communication.
Today, we're going to discuss how we can apply these assessment criteria practically. What projects do you have in mind, particularly in Language Acquisition?
The Cultural Exchange Blog is one I really like!
Great choice! How would you align your blog project with the assessment criteria we've discussed?
I will write about how school life is different in other cultures and record interviews!
Excellent! You’re focusing on Criteria A and D. Don't forget to include elements that allow you to assess your comprehension of the material, think critically, and interpret it! Creating clear sections for audio, written, and visuals will help you.
How do we ensure we're meeting all the criteria during our projects?
You will continually reference the criteria while planning and executing your projects. Checklists can be handy to see which aspects you’ve covered. Can each group come up with a checklist for their project?
That will help us stay organized and meet our goals!
In a 'Cultural Exchange Blog,' students research and compare cultural practices, utilizing written and visual texts to meet the assessment criteria.
In a 'Literary Magazine' project, students create diverse literary forms such as short stories and poems, evaluated through the assessment criteria focused on creativity and presentation.
A, B, C, D, together we work, comprehension's the key, let's all be a nerd!
Once upon a time, in a classroom filled with aspiring linguists, each student learned to write, speak, and analyze with the help of their structure, the assessment criteria, guiding them like stars in the night.
Remember 'ABSW' for Language Acquisition: A for audio, B for written, S for speaking, and W for writing.
In Language and Literature, think 'ABCU': A for Analyzing, B for Organizing, C for Producing, and U for Using language.

This section outlines the assessment criteria for activities and projects in the IB MYP Grade 10 Language Acquisition and Language and Literature courses.
The assessment criteria are divided into two groups: Language Acquisition and Language and Literature. Each group includes specific activities aimed at developing various skills and competencies, with corresponding assessment criteria tailored to evaluate student performance in these areas.
The assessment criteria for IB MYP Grade 10 Language Acquisition and Language and Literature focus on evaluating students' skills through diverse activities designed to foster critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and effective communication. The criteria are categorized into two primary groups: Language Acquisition and Language and Literature, with each containing specific projects that aim to develop different linguistic and analytical abilities.
These criteria are assessed through activities such as creating a Cultural Exchange Blog, engaging in role-play scenarios, writing travel brochures, and participating in pen-pal exchanges, which help students acquire or enhance language skills and cultural knowledge.
Here, activities like producing a Literary Magazine, performing Dramatic Monologues, and conducting Book-to-Film Adaptation Reviews guide students in deepening their literary analysis, critical reading, and communication skills. By providing a structured approach to assessment, the MYP encourages a holistic view of language as a vital tool for engagement and expression.
