English Language IGCSE

The English language can be used to inspire, motivate, and challenge us in countless different ways, and is an essential part of the way we interpret and appreciate the world around us. If you’d like to enhance your ability to critically analyse and engage with a wide variety of texts and genres, then English Language IGCSE is the right choice.

iGCSE English Language – what you’ll learn
