What is the difference between IB English Literature and Language and Literature?

IB English Literature focuses primarily on literary analysis of texts from different genres and periods. It emphasizes in-depth interpretation, textual understanding, and appreciation of literary artistry. Students will learn 9 to 13 literary works in this course. IB English Language and Literature combines the study of language in cultural contexts with literary analysis. It explores non-literary texts (like advertisements or speeches) alongside classic literary pieces, emphasizing both communication and interpretation. Students will read 4 to 6 works during this course, literary and non-literary.
