What 'grammatical structures and vocabulary' are expected? Is there a list?

We do not publish a precise list of grammatical structures and vocabulary for IGCSE English as a Second Language.

The syllabus states that candidates who achieve grade 4 overall in Cambridge IGCSE (9–1) English as a Second Language 0991(Count-in Speaking), or who achieve grade 4 overall, with merit in Speaking, in Cambridge IGCSE (9–1) English as a Second Language 0993 (Speaking Endorsement), can be considered to be at a level equivalent to B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). B2 corresponds to independent learners of the language. It is advised, therefore, that centres prepare candidates to produce and recognise grammatical structures and vocabulary found up to and including this CEFR level.
