Pearson GCSE English Language

The Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (9-1) English Language (Specification A) curriculum for Grades 10-11 develops reading and writing skills through engagement with a range of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and prose texts, assessed either through two externally examined papers (60% Paper 1: Non-fiction Texts and Transactional Writing, 40% Paper 2: Poetry and Prose Texts and Imaginative Writing) or through a combination of one written paper and a coursework option . The curriculum is designed to strengthen students' ability to write effectively for different audiences and purposes, with Paper 1 requiring analysis of texts from the Edexcel Anthology alongside unseen extracts, and Paper 2 focusing on analytical essays and imaginative writing tasks.
