curriculum, International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) Language A:
Language and Literature curriculum, International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme (IBDP) Language B curriculum, Advanced Placement (AP) English
Language and Composition curriculum, and Advanced Placement (AP) English

contrast with the English language curriculum in the two international programs,
namely International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), and Advanced
Placement (AP), in terms of educational philosophies, intent, content, approaches to
