IGCSE English Language

Outstanding education

The English Language IGCSE teaches students to communicate effectively.

The IGCSE course aims to:

  • Enable students to understand and critically read a wide range of texts from different genres, cultures and time periods.
  • Develop students’ ability to analyse texts using the correct terminology and to form considered opinions.
  • Develop and improve their own writing based on their study of texts.
  • Enable students to write in Standard English correctly using a wide vocabulary and employing the correct grammar.
  • Facilitate students’ effective use and understanding of spoken language.

The IGCSE course exposes students to a diverse range of texts and teaches them to communicate effectively, creatively and accurately through spoken and written language.

Assessment is through a combination of examination and coursework.

At Milverton our students study for the Cambridge IGCSE in English Language, an internationally recognised and intellectually rigorous qualification.
