    Block 2

    This is Block 2 - it is essential to have completed Block 1 before starting this.

    This block will continue with the first texts for IGCSE English Language with Pearson Edexcel, Specification A, building on Block 1. It will run over two years, with each block following on from the previous one, giving students who feel ready the opportunity to enter for the exam in June 2027.

    Please note that this block will have exactly the same content as the recordings from November 2022, 2023 and 2024, but you will have the opportunity to participate in live lessons, rather than recordings.

    In the first block, we introduced the structure of Paper 1, which is compulsory. We began to study the ten anthology texts (a PDF of the anthology is available online and will be provided).

    We will continue with this and will be looking at content and themes, language, structure and writers’ perspectives and contexts.

  • We will consider how texts can be compared and how we write about them.

    Responses will be modelled and discussed during the session and tasks will be set for independent completion.

    Course Objectives:

    To understand content and themes, language, structure and writers' perspectives and contexts, how to compare texts and how to write about them.

    Specialist
