IGCSE English
IB Pathways offers multiple English subject codes, allowing students to choose based on their language proficiency and the options provided by their school. As a global language, English serves as a common medium of communication across cultures and countries.
English forms the foundation of the British curriculum, and the University of Cambridge requires IGCSE students to study English as a core subject. At IB Pathways Education, we recognize the importance of strong language skills and provide comprehensive IGCSE English tuition that develops fluency, accuracy, and confidence.
While learning English, IB Pathways encourages students to become:
- Confident communicators
- Responsible learners
- Reflective thinkers
- Innovative in expression
- Engaged with language and literature
Let’s explore what IGCSE English involves.
Importance of IGCSE English
The IB Pathways IGCSE English course strengthens students’ command of the language through systematic learning of grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and punctuation.
In addition, students:
- Study literature from different cultures and historical periods, developing an appreciation for English literary traditions
- Learn to communicate ideas clearly, precisely, and fluently
- Build strong writing and speaking skills that increase confidence and presentation ability
- Develop imagination, aesthetic sense, and intellectual growth
Structure of IGCSE English
The IGCSE English curriculum focuses on four core language skills:
Reading
Writing
Speaking
Listening
All IGCSE English candidates are graded from A (highest) to G (lowest) based on academic performance. Students who do not meet the minimum standard for Grade G are reported as Ungraded on the statement of results.
The Grading Rules
Key points related to IGCSE English grading:
- The letter Q indicates that a result is pending
- The letter X indicates “No Result”
Difference Between Core and Extended
- Core candidates can achieve a maximum grade of C
- Extended candidates are eligible for grades from A to C
