    It depends on how much you like reading, if you want to study nothing but books and extraits you chose lit. If you aren't so enthusiastic about reading then you chose Lang. Lit. Because they concentrate more on the actual English language. At least that's what the IB coordinator from my school told me

    There will be much more variety in the Lang&Lit course. I did Lit and it was great, but I wish our school had offered Lang&Lit. It's more versatile which is great since you might get bored with pure Lit after the first year. (And that's coming from someone who LOVES Lit! The course is tough)
