Curriculum
 It is the written curriculum in action
 It is implemented in an inquiry process
 Inquiry is the process initiated by the students or the teacher that
moves the students from their current level of understanding to a
new and deeper level of understanding
 It is planned collaboratively with a bubble planner

8. What does
inquiry look
like?
 experimenting and playing with possibilities
 making connections between previous learning and current
learning
 making predictions and acting purposefully to see what
happens
 collecting data and reporting findings
 clarifying existing ideas and reappraising perceptions of
events
 deepening understanding through the application of a
concept

12. The Implication in planning, teaching and assessing

13. A PYP classroom is a lively place, characterized by
collaborative and purposeful activity.
It is also a reflective place, where thoughtful consideration of
issues, problems and successes is valued highly.
Above all, and in summary, a PYP classroom is an intelligent
place. It is a place in which the easy option is seldom sought
and where the expectations are high. It is an environment in
which learning knows no limits.

14. Learning Language in
IB PYP

15. Overview
Beliefs about Language Learning
The Structure of Language
Scope & Sequence
How to Use Language Scope &
Sequence

16. PYP beliefs
about learning
language
 The learning process simultaneously involves
learning language, learning about language
and learning through language
 Languages are not learned as isolated skill sets.
Rather, it is learned within meaningful contexts
 The development of mother tongue is
significant for all learners
 Acquisition of more than one language
enriches personal development and helps
facilitate international-mindedness
 Language provides a vehicle for inquiry

17. The structure
of the PYP
language
scope and
sequence
 the scope and sequence document presents a set of
developmental continuums that are designed as diagnostic tools
to assist teachers in planning language learning experiences for
students, and in monitoring students’ development throughout
the primary years.
 Rather than categorized by age, the continuums are organized
into some phases (considering the starting point)

18. How to use the
PYP language
scope and
sequence
observable behaviours
or actions to diagnose
students’ progress
the conceptual
understandings need
to be developed at
each phase
Enable teachers to
do differentiated
instruction
No evaluative
criteria for
progression in
sequential order
