The IB Language ab initio course is designed for students with little or no prior experience in a language. Over two years, you will develop the practical skills needed to communicate in everyday situations, from introducing yourself to discussing global environment and technology.
At Avalon Education, our tutors help you build a strong foundation from day one. We teach you the high frequency vocabulary and essential grammar needed to move from a beginner to a confident communicator.
We focus on making the language feel accessible and logical by breaking down complex rules into simple steps. Our tutors provide a supportive environment where you can practice speaking and listening, helping you overcome the initial hurdles of learning a new tongue.
Since this course moves at a fast pace, our sessions are designed to keep you on track with your school syllabus. We provide the regular practice and specific techniques required to ensure you are fully prepared for each component of the IB assessment.

The Individual Oral (IO): This is a short conversation with your teacher based on a visual stimulus. We help you practice describing images and responding to simple questions so you can demonstrate your fluency and range of vocabulary.
Paper 1 (Writing): You will be asked to produce two short pieces of writing, such as an email, a poster, or a diary entry. We teach you the correct layout for different text types and ensure your grammar is accurate.
Paper 2 (Listening and Reading): This exam tests your ability to understand basic spoken and written messages. We use practice materials to sharpen your listening and reading skills, helping you identify key details and answer questions correctly under exam conditions.
