Do your kids really need an teacher for the IB course

IB Chinese must be studied under the guidance of a professional teacher.

This bibliography is not randomly selected. The IBO will give a list of designated authors and a list of works, and teachers can choose from them. For example, 2-3 works of translation; 2-4 works of intensive reading, covering different literary genres, such as poetry, drama, prose, novels, etc.; 3-4 works organized according to the same literary genre; 3 works of self-selection.
