Synopsis: The Cambridge IGCSE First Language English syllabus is designed as a twoyear course for examination at age 16+ for students whose English is of native, near-native or bilingual standard. It offers a wide, relevant and accessible curriculum tailored to international needs and an assessment scheme which rewards positive achievement. First Language English is accepted as a UK higher education entrance requirement equivalent to the same grade at GCSE or to IELTS 6.5, and is recognised as a suitable foundation for A Level, IB and Pre-U certificate studies. This coursebook covers the whole Cambridge IGCSE First Language English syllabus and curriculum and contains enough material for a five-term programme of study. Each of the 14 units has a rich variety of activities and tasks sufficient to last for several weeks of classroom lessons plus homework. Teachers may wish to be selective in the setting of tasks in order to target the particular needs of students, but each of the first 12 units is relevant to examinations, whichever component options have been selected. Each unit ends with three extension activities or further practice tasks for students to do at home. Answers to the coursebook activities are available to teachers online at education.cambridge.org
