This Edexcel IGCSE course aims to enable learners to:
- Read a wide range of texts fluently and with good understanding
- Read critically and use knowledge gained from wide reading to inform and improve their own writing
- Write effectively and coherently using Standard English appropriately
- Use grammar correctly, punctuate and spell accurately
- Acquire and apply a wide vocabulary alongside knowledge and understanding of grammatical terminology, and linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language
- Listen to and understand spoken language, and use spoken Standard English effectively. Spoken language will be reported as a separate grade on the learner’s certificate.
Modular courses retain the same content as the existing linear specifications, but the content is divided into two separate units.
Instead of sitting exams covering all of the course content at the end of the two-year course (as with linear specifications), learners will sit them at the end of each unit.
The modular assessment structure offers learners the flexibility to sit examinations when they are ready and provides opportunities to resit individual unit assessments before receiving an overall qualification grade.
