Syllabus

IB Turkish A: Language & Literature topics

IB Turkish A follows the same Language A: language and literature guide as English A (first assessment 2021); the texts are in Turkish and the areas of exploration are the same.

Topic names are the IB's own, from the current subject guide.

SLTopics shared by SL and HL

  • Readers, writers and texts
  • Time and space
  • Intertextuality: connecting texts

The three areas of exploration are the same at SL and HL; HL studies more works and also writes the HL essay.

Approach

How we teach IB Turkish A: Language & Literature

Study plan

  1. 1

    Phase 1 — Areas of exploration

    Readers/Writers/Texts; Time/Space; Intertextuality

    • Annotation in Turkish
    • AOE-aligned learner portfolio
  2. 2

    Phase 2 — Paper 1 technique

    Guided literary analysis

    • Turkish unseen prose and poetry
    • Guiding-question response strategies
  3. 3

    Phase 3 — Paper 2 + Oral

    Phase 4 — HL Essay + mock

    Coursework + papers

    • HL Essay line of inquiry and drafting
    • Paper 1 and Paper 2 timed mocks

How lessons work

  • Reading list as a structured map

    We organise the chosen Turkish reading list across the three areas of exploration so students always have annotated material ready for Paper 2 and the IO.

  • Comparative thinking from the start

    Paper 2 marks reward sustained comparison. We make it a habit, not a final-month skill.

  • Coursework with academic integrity

    HL Essay and IO are scaffolded with citation and originality safeguards. Final written work remains the student's own work.

Advice

IB Turkish A: Language & Literature: common mistakes and study tips

  • MistakePaper 1 analyses that paraphrase the passage in Turkish.

    FixAnalytic essays in Turkish A still need close reading of word choice, structure and technique. Plot summary caps the response.

  • MistakePaper 2 essays that handle texts in sequence.

    FixComparative essays reward integrated comparison across texts. A 'first text, then text' shape rarely reaches the top bands.

  • MistakeIndividual Oral without a defensible global issue.

    FixGlobal issue must be transnational, specific and traceable in both extracts. Vague themes under-score.

  • MistakeQuotations dropped without analysis.

    FixEvery quotation needs unpacking at the level of word choice or technique.

  • MistakeHL Essay that summarises rather than argues.

    FixHL Essay is a sustained literary argument with line of inquiry. Summary caps the rubric.
