    For more information about this Cambridge course, visit the curriculum page of the Cambridge Assessment International Education website. 

    The key concepts for Cambridge International AS & A Level English Language are:

    • Text and context: A text can be defined as a single, coherent unit of language, from the briefest spoken utterance to a book published across several volumes. However, no text exists without context; students of the English language must always consider how a text’s meaning is informed by the circumstances not only of its production, but also of its communication and reception.
    • Meaning and style: The study of English language involves developing a range of strategies for exploring the complex ways in which different linguistic elements come together to create meaning. Whether producing their own texts or analyzing texts produced by others, students of the English language must consider how choices regarding form, structure and language also interact to create a distinctive style.
    • Audience: Students of English language must learn to identify and analyze the strategies writers and speakers use to communicate with their intended audience(s). Likewise, they must be able to predict, recognise and analyze the various responses these strategies might elicit.
    • Creativity: Whether writing artfully for a specified purpose and audience, reading deeply between the lines of a challenging text, or developing strategies for acquiring the language in the first place, users of the English language must demonstrate creativity in a range of forms and contexts.
    • Diversity: Constantly subject to a range of influences – whether personal, social, geographical or otherwise – the English language exists in a range of competing and overlapping forms at any given moment. This extraordinary diversity offers a rich opportunity for analysis, comparison and exploration.
    • Change: The phonological, morphological, semantic, syntactic and other aspects of the English language are liable to change over time. Students of the English language must analyze these changes and explore in detail the factors that drive them.

    Students must sit for the AICE Exam, which may occur after the end of the school year.

    • develop understanding and use of English language in the context of contemporary topics
    • encourage and appraise a broad range of topics
    • develop a wider awareness and knowledge of contemporary issues through reading
    • develop independent reasoning skills
    • develop the skills of interpretation, analysis, evaluation and persuasion
    • develop skills in writing structured and developed arguments, and present reasoned explanations
    • develop the ability to present a point of view clearly, and consider and reflect upon those of others.

    Learners will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of issues in these three broad topic areas:

    1. Economic, historical, moral, political and social
    2. Science, including its history, philosophy, ethics, general principles and applications; environmental issues; technology and mathematics
    3. Literature, language, the arts, crafts, and the media.


    Learners consider topics within local and international contexts. Learners should be able to draw upon knowledge and understanding gained from studying other subjects. Through the study of these broad topic areas, learners develop effective reading and writing skills in English. They work with information, ideas and opinions. They analyze and evaluate opinions and ideas. They also learn how to build an argument. These skills are all highly transferable and will help learners in other subjects they are studying, and equip them for higher education or employment. Candidates following this course should be encouraged to develop a range of skills.

    • Application of information: Candidates should develop the ability to identify, select and apply appropriate information to respond to a task. They are encouraged to understand different points of view on a topic. Candidates should use information as evidence to support an argument with examples and to develop ideas.
    • Reading: Candidates are encouraged to read widely for general understanding and develop skills to identify relevant information from a variety of sources. Candidates should develop a wide range of vocabulary in English and the ability to understand the use of English words and phrases in context. They should understand how information is presented and how the English language is used to convey implicit as well as explicit meaning.
    • Analysis and evaluation: Candidates should develop the ability to analyze data, interpret information and offer key points. Candidates should learn skills of evaluation. They should go beyond observing or summarizing the evidence. They should learn to draw out inferences, understand the implications of a course of action, develop and draw out the significance of an argument and examine other points of view. Candidates should learn to make supported judgements. Writing: Candidates should develop the skills to write in accurate English in a clear, coherent and structured way, including essays. They should also learn to write shorter responses for a variety of purposes. These might include explanation, description, summary, analysis, evaluation and persuasion. Candidates should learn to use a range of vocabulary, appropriate spelling, grammar and punctuation, and use of register, to communicate information, ideas and opinions appropriate to the task.

    Additional Information

    Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Advanced courses require a greater demand on students through increased academic rigor. Academic rigor is obtained through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted. Students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning. Honors level rigor will be achieved by increasing text complexity through text selection, focus on high-level qualitative measures, and complexity of task. Instruction will be structured to give students a deeper understanding of conceptual themes and organization within and across disciplines. Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work.

    Course Number: 1001370

  • Course Description

    This course defines what students should understand and be able to do by the end of 12th grade. Knowledge acquisition should be the primary purpose of any reading approach as the systematic building of a wide range of knowledge across domains is a prerequisite to higher literacy. At this grade level, students are working with universal themes and archetypes. They are also continuing to build their facility with rhetoric, the craft of using language in writing and speaking, using classic literature, essays, and speeches as mentor texts. The benchmarks in this course are mastery goals that students are expected to attain by the end of the year. To build mastery, students will continue to review and apply earlier grade-level benchmarks and expectations.
     

    Additional Information

    English Language Arts is not a discrete set of skills, but a rich discipline with meaningful, significant content, the knowledge of which helps all students actively and fully participate in our society. Standards should not stand alone as a separate focus for instruction, but should be combined purposefully.
