Spanish for the IB Diploma is a brand new suite of resources to make teaching IB Spanish simple and rewarding. It caters for Language B - for students learning Spanish as a second language but at an advanced level.

The authors have consulted widely on the needs of such teachers and students and have a built a course that delivers the ideal mix of:
- culturally appropriate stimulus material
- clear explanation of grammar
- development of appropriate vocabulary
- student tasks for all range of abilities
- print based, audio and web based support material
combined together into a coherent course that gradually builds students' confidence and skills.

The course is based around the desired 'learner profile' of the IB student:
- developing 'global citizens' with an international perspective but also keen to serve in their local community
- students who are keen to communicate with and understand people of other cultures
- a sense of creativity in their approach to learning and interest in literature and the arts
- independence of thought, critical thinking and problem-solving .

At every stage opportunities for developing understanding of the Theory of Knowledge are highlighted.
