1 Cambridge IGCSE English
2 About CIE CIE University of Cambridge International Examinations is the world s largest provider of international qualifications for year olds. Over 1.5 million students, in over 150 countries, enter for CIE examinations every year. CIE is part of Cambridge Assessment, a not-for-profit department of the University of Cambridge. Cambridge IGCSE is the world s most popular international qualification for year olds.
3 Cambridge IGCSE Cambridge IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) is the world s most popular international qualification for year olds. Created by CIE in 1985, and based on best practice in the UK, Cambridge IGCSE is available in over 70 subjects. It equips students not only with knowledge of specific subjects, but also with problem solving and critical thinking skills, and an ability to work independently and as part of a team. Recognition Cambridge IGCSE is internationally recognised by universities in the UK and overseas as equivalent grade-for-grade to UK GCSE - learn more at recognition. Cambridge IGCSE is an excellent preparation for A/AS Level, for Cambridge Pre-U and for the International Baccalaureate Diploma. The standard of the Cambridge IGCSE First Language English and Literature syllabuses is benchmarked to UK GCSE. CIE runs regular comparability checks through the Cambridge Assessment Research Division and shares examiners with its linked organisation OCR to make sure standards are the same. Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language at Grade C or above is recognised by almost all UK universities and many in the USA, Canada and Australia as evidence of English proficiency for undergraduate study. It is included in UCAS s list of qualifications that are acceptable as evidence of proficiency in English, and it is recognised by the British Association of Lecturers in English for Academic Purposes. Students must confirm entry requirements with the university of their choice. International reach Cambridge IGCSE is taken in 125 countries and suits both national and international teaching contexts. The syllabuses use international examples and avoid terminology only used in the UK. Non-native speakers of English are treated fairly.
4 Cambridge IGCSE English syllabuses encourage students to improve their language skills and appreciation of literature
5 The Cambridge IGCSE English suite Cambridge IGCSE English qualifications provide an excellent foundation for students who: want to continue their studies at a higher level (including AS or A Level, Cambridge Pre-U and International Baccalaureate) need a literature or language qualification (or both) to complement other subjects they are studying need a final qualification in English language or literature (or both). Cambridge IGCSE English syllabuses encourage students to improve their language skills and appreciation of literature. They develop students ability to understand and respond appropriately and confidently to what they read, see, hear and experience. The syllabuses help students personal development, and help them explore wider areas of human concern. The suite offers two language qualifications - First Language English and English as a Second Language (E2L). Literature is assessed in a separate syllabus. Students do not have to take both Language and Literature syllabuses - for example, they can take: IGCSE First Language English IGCSE First Language English and IGCSE Literature (English) IGCSE Literature (English) IGCSE English as a Second Language IGCSE English as a Second Language and IGCSE Literature (English) Two exam sessions every year Exams take place in May/June and October/November. Results in one session do not carry over to the next. Students can, however, carry forward marks in coursework options if retaking the exam. With or without coursework Teachers can choose between 100% written terminal exam or exam+coursework options in both Cambridge IGCSE First Language English and Literature (English) syllabuses. There is no written coursework in English as a Second Language.
6 Cambridge IGCSE First Language English Cambridge IGCSE First Language English develops successful readers, writers, listeners, speakers and thinkers. The emphasis is on language skills, and students will learn to understand and respond to what they hear, read and experience. It encourages students to use relevant vocabulary, correct grammar, spelling and punctuation, and to demonstrate a sense of style and an awareness of audience. Speaking and listening is an optional part of the assessment. Performance does not affect the grade given for the rest of the exam, although the mark is recorded on the exam certificate. Cambridge IGCSE is an international exam, taken by students from English-speaking countries across the world. Examiners and moderators do not expect British English. Core and Extended curriculum Students follow a Core curriculum. Teachers can also stretch their students with an Extended curriculum. Students can change level during the course according to their progress. Core curriculumonly students are eligible for grades C through to G. Extended curriculum students are eligible for grades A* through to E.

8 Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language is designed for students who are not native English speakers, but who need English to improve their educational or career prospects. A pass at grade C or above (with A* being the highest grade) is recognised by almost all UK universities and by many in the US, Canada and Australia as evidence of English proficiency for undergraduate study in an Englishspeaking institution. The syllabus assesses students ability to use English to communicate in writing, reading and listening and speaking. It develops ability to use English effectively in a variety of contexts and provides a sound language base for further study, or for employment in an environment where English is used. Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language is an international exam and students come from English and non-english speaking countries British English is not expected. A compulsory speaking and listening test also forms part of the assessment. Performance in the oral test is recorded separately on the final certificate on a scale of 1(high) to 5 (low).
