CAIE | O Level | English Language – 1123

Cambridge O Level English Language is designed for learners who speak English at home or at school, at near first language level.

Cambridge O Level is an internationally recognized qualification equivalent to Cambridge IGCSE and the UK GCSE. It provides learners with excellent preparation for Cambridge Advanced as well as other progression routes.

Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge O Level are equivalent qualifications.

Learners are also encouraged to read widely, both for their own enjoyment and to further their awareness of the ways in which English can be used. Cambridge O Level English Language also develops more general analysis and communication skills such as inference, and the ability to order facts and present opinions effectively.
