Students at an International Baccalaureate school are expected to interact with a text in a language (e.g., German, Latin, etc.) other than the school's (or the student's) native language. This will be part of the standardized assessments which are administered by the local school but sent to IB for evaluation.
For example, students must pass a 90-minute test in which they are given four short texts in the target language. Students then write, analyzing those texts in the target language.
