Communication Skills in IB MYP Grade 5 English Language and Literature
In IB MYP Grade 5 English Language and Literature, Communication Skills, within Language and Communication gives advanced learners (ages 15–16) the chance to practise presenting formally to an audience and leading collaborative discussion.
MYP English Language and Literature is assessed against four criteria (A: analysing, B: organizing, C: producing text and D: using language). Regular practice with communication skills builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
What learners practise
- Presenting formally to an audience
- Leading collaborative discussion
For students
Work through the worksheets, practice questions and revision resources at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For revision
Use these resources for homework, end-of-unit revision and catching up on anything missed in class.
For teachers
Use communication skills activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Draft first, then improve. Reading your writing aloud is the quickest way to spot sentences that need fixing.
