We are updating the syllabus from the 2027. We have brought it in line with our other First Language qualifications such as Cambridge IGCSE First Language French and German.
We have reworded the syllabus content and changed the layout so that it is clearer. Although the content looks different, the teaching content remains largely the same.
To better meet the needs of learners, we have updated specimen Paper 1 – now called ‘Reading and Directed Writing’, and replaced the summary task with a directed writing task.
There are three reading texts (one fiction and two non-fiction), and students will answer four questions instead of two.
In specimen Paper 2: Writing, students choose two questions from four, rather than two from eight.
For full details of the changes, please see the 2027-2029 syllabus.
The syllabus page of our website will show any updates that have been made to the syllabus document, resources or syllabus availability.
When a syllabus has been redevelopped/ revised, we aim to notify centres two years ahead of the first examination. For detailed information about what changes have been made to a syllabus, its content and assessment, you can find these at the end of the syllabus document under the heading " Changes to this syllabus for [years]."
If you would like to receive notifications each time an update is shared or there is a redevelopment of the syllabus, you can sign up at the bottom of the syllabus page on the website.
If you would like to ask specific questions about syllabus updates and changes, you can contact our Subject Specialist Advisor Team at info@cambridgeinternational.org.
