有個問題，假設一個選了Eng A Lang & Lit HL. 及Chinese A Literature. SL.
與另一個選了 Eng B Lang & …
Language A = first/native language
Language B = second language (IBO recommends for those with 3-5 years of experience with that language)
More sub-dividedly, students can opt for Language A Literature or Language A Language & Literature (different syllabus, but both are considered as first language subjects all the same). Both 'streams' also have HL and SL available for students to choose.
There is no 'streaming' for Language B because the course does not cover language or literature to a depth that 'streaming' as in the cases for Language A is required. The only sub-division within Language B is HL and SL.
There are always rumors that Language B is not welcomed by universities when they know a student clearly has the ability to study Language A. (This case is particularly for students in local schools such as DBS and SPCC, that is why Language B is strongly discouraged in these schools) Credits for Language B courses in university are drastically less compared to Language A. Of course for some subjects Language A is necessary (e.g. Law). Language A courses are considered to be comparable to early university level in terms of difficulty; while Language B courses are definitely way too easy if a student has been in local school curriculum studying both English and Chinese from Primary One onwards till before they commence IB. Of course, if language (especially Chinese, for local school students) is not an important issue in fulfilling one's offer/achieving university admissions (for science/engineering degrees for example), then one might opt to do Language B instead of A to 'save' a lot of effort and possibly secure a higher grade, as his/her offer would depend more on the overall score the IB diploma.
