IGCSE English as a Second Language

Uncategorized

About Course

Our IGCSE English as a Second Language programme builds genuine reading, writing, listening and speaking fluency, with every lesson mapped directly to Cambridge’s assessment objectives and exam format. Rather than treating English as content to memorise, students practise the specific skills examiners test — skimming and scanning, inference, register-appropriate writing, note-taking under time pressure, and confident spoken responses. Lessons are live and interactive, held online in small classes of no more than six students, with regular past-paper practice built in from the start rather than left until the final term, plus a full video library covering every topic for revision and catch-up.

Skim and scan texts efficiently to locate and extract information
Infer meaning and understand vocabulary in context
Write clearly and accurately for informal, formal, and transactional purposes
Structure extended writing with strong cohesion and appropriate register
Apply core grammar, punctuation, and proofreading skills consistently
Take effective notes and answer listening questions under exam conditions
