This book has been written to help all students taking the Edexcel International GCSE English Language A (

4EA1

(?rst examination June 2018). It is designed to enable them to achieve their full potential during the course and in

the examination. It is written for both students and teachers. There are two speci?cations for the International GCSE

examination, English Language A (4EA1) and English Language B (4EB1).

Speci?cation A of the International GCSE

has two routes, one assessed entirely through examination and one that includes coursework. This book will prepare

students for all aspects of the course. How will this book support you? We hope you will ?nd it: useful in terms of developing your skills and t echniques fully for the Edexcel International GCSE in English Language a helpful guide to your study of the select ed texts from the Edexcel Anthology for the International GCSE a support in pr eparing for unseen passages (all speci?cations). This book will also assist in writing the coursework and planning revision.

The book goes through the requirements for speci?cation A, with explanations, suggestions and questions. It also

includes a large number of practical activities and examples. These are for practice and will also help you to appreciate

how really good answers are written and structured.

Remember to plan your work. The sooner you organise yourself and your ideas, the easier you will ?nd your preparation for every section of

the examination! This book aims to give you con?dence by improving your skills and tec hniques. You know you can succeed.

It is very important to make sure that you have a really good grasp of the selected ?ction and non-?ction passages and

poems from Section A and Section B of the Anthology. Every year, examiners read International GCSE scripts in which

the candidates write in a way that shows that they do not understand, or have not prepared carefully, the texts that are

set. Use the relevant sections from this book to strengthen your knowledge of the texts.

An important part of Paper 1 is the testing of your ability to think on your feet when confronted with unfamiliar (unseen)

prose passages, to show that you have all understood and responded to these and that you can base your own writing

on the ideas you have met. Work through the ‘Types of text" chapter in order to ensure that you are ready to read and

analyse an unseen passage in Paper 1.

Like other subjects, English has a number of technical terms which you may need to use. It is important that you know

how to use the correct term and that you can spell it. Refer to the subject vocabulary within the margins or the Glossary

on pages 192-197 to help you. Even more important is that you know how to explain why a particular device is used,

looking at the writer"s intentions. In the exams, you will always be given credit for explaining the eects of a word or

phrase, whether or not you use the technical terms, and accurate use of the right terms will make your writing more

uent and concise.

Make lists of technical terms, write out what you think they mean, then check your de?nitions against the glossary at the back or the lists of

subject vocabulary in the margins. CONFIDENTIAL: Uncorrected WIP proof, NOT for circulation or distribution. © Pearson Education.

HINT Use a system such as di?erent coloured cards or sticky notes to put d own the on each text.

If you look closely at the model answers that are given at various points throughout this book, this will help you to write

detailed, successful responses.

How you set out your own writing is important for various reasons. Get into the habit of producing writing that is:
