English Lit or Lang & Lit


DMA

Recommended Posts

Hi

I need help deciding between English Lit  and Lang & Lit. Is there a big difference in course load? Do Universities prefer one over the other? Which one is easier to get a 6/7 in? Is there a specific set of books in Lit that one has to read and does the teacher pick those or IB sets the list?My English teacher has suggested Lit to me as he feels that Lit has the more serious English students and that keeps the level higher and the discussions more engaging. 

Thoughts and advice needed.

Lang/Lit is generally considered easier because half the course are studies on contemporary English language itself and may be more familiar to most students. Although universities look at both approximately equal, Lit is a better preparation for some of the formal writing expected from university students. Your teacher chooses what books to study in both courses.
