By Cathy Hitchin, Principal of Pamoja Online Courses

As Principal of Online Courses, I hope you have had some time to relax over the summer break, but also some time to reflect upon the past year of study and to make a plan for how best to achieve the success you deserve in your IB Diploma courses.

In the spirit of accomplishing both of these aims, the Pamoja academic team would like to share with you some resources for your subjects which will allow you to expand your subject knowledge but in a more relaxing way. As we approach the beginning of semester, it’s a good idea to start moving into the mindset of heading back to school and this blog post allows you to do just that.

Below, our Course Advisors and Pamoja teachers have handpicked a list of recommended podcasts, blogs, books and web resources in each of the subjects we provide to help you prepare for the new academic year. We hope you find them helpful, interesting and even fun!

IB Core Elements

Group 1: Language and Literature
