Oxford OL/ESL- Y10

Course Description

Enable students to develop the four essential English language skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

This International GCSE is designed for students whose first language is not English, but who use English for their studies. Students will read, understand and analyse a variety of texts, presented in different styles and covering a range of topics, including factual and literary texts.

The course will support students of all abilities to write and communicate clearly, coherently and accurately using varied vocabulary and sentence structures. It develops the skills necessary for effective communication in their further study or career.

• Separate papers give students more opportunity to highlight their ability.
• Each paper has a distinct identity to better support high-quality and engaging teaching and learning.
• Our qualification recognises the importance students place on verbal communication in English, which is why the speaking component is an integral part of the award. 20% of the qualification focuses on the assessment of speaking skills.
