Study for your IGCSE in English Language following the Cambridge exam board curriculum with a group of like-minded home-ed students.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CLASS IS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK BECAUSE OF IT’S POPULARITY WITH THE SAME CONTENT AND PLACES ARE LIMITED. PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE OF THE SESSIONS PER WEEK PER CHILD AS WE ARE UNABLE TO GIVE REFUNDS IF YOU SIGN UP FOR MORE THAN ONE SESSION, AS THAT STOPS SOMEONE ELSE FROM HAVING THE OPTION OF A PLACE.
Follow the Cambridge IGCSE English Language course in this class which is suitable for students aged 13-16. In these weekly sessions, we will read and discuss a selection of texts from newspapers and other articles. You will learn how to analyse and summarize an article, as well as how to express your opinion in writing. You will also learn how to write in a range of different styles for different readers. It is an advantage if you are a strong reader. Each week we will explore a different text before breaking off into small groups to discuss and debate what we have read. Reading aloud will always be optional, so you do not have to do so if you don’t want to.
Unlike all our other courses, the price for IGCSE is £5.00 +VAT a week per student to reflect the amount of work the teacher will need to do to successfully guide you through your GCSE. All marking and feedback is included in the price. You will be expected to do 1 – 2 hours of independent work each week.
For safeguarding purposes, each Zoom lesson includes a brief registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange an alternate method of registration for them.
The full content for IGCSE English Language (Cambridge) is covered in 12 months. Please be aware that all our GCSE and IGCSE courses offer a rolling curriculum and cater for children with a wide range of abilities, previous knowledge/study and willingness to work independently. Although we cover the curriculum in the period stated, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that your child has covered and understood the entire syllabus, kept appropriate notes and has carried out exam practice before they sit their exam. Our teacher will give short exam practice throughout the course and teach the children how to answer the questions, but it is a good idea for your child to sit practice exam papers in the run-up to their actual exam. Our teachers are always happy to help and advise but please make sure you know what your child has studied and areas that need more work before they are ready to sit the exam. Generally speaking, our recommendation is to start around April /May for May/June exams one year later or September / October for November exams one year later. To find out more please read Taking GCSEs/IGCSEs with LLP.
To prepare for the exams, you will be required to write essays and practice important exam skills. This will be monitored by your teacher and you will receive feedback after each. Of course, you may also complete the course without taking the final examination, if you wish to.
