Welcome to your Wolsey Hall IGCSE English as a Second Language Course

This Sample shows One module from the full course and is designed to give you a flavour of the Wolsey Hall approach to home study.

STUDYING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

English is often referred to as the language of opportunity.  It is easy to see why as it is widely recognised as the language of Media, Diplomacy, Business, Science, Aviation and the Internet.

It has become the most widely learned second language in the world and is either the official language, or one of the official languages, in almost 60 sovereign states.  In total, around 1.5 billion people speak English worldwide and another billion are in the process of learning it.

Our Cambridge IGCSE course focusses on the four key skills of language development: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.  You will work through a wide range of engaging activities each with a specific focus on one of these key skills.  A pass in your IGCSE exam with at least a grade C is evidence to universities and employers of an ability to understand and communicate in English.

STUDYING WITH WOLSEY HALL

Course Structure

Wolsey Hall IGCSE courses are written around a course book which we have chosen as the best available text for each syllabus. You will be guided through the book by working through a series of online Modules. These have been developed by a subject specialist and include detailed guidance linked to the course book and extensive online resources.

Once you feel that you have achieved all the learning objectives for that Module, you should begin work on the Assignment. You will submit Assignments online, which will be marked by your Course Tutor.  Each Assignment is then returned to you with a grade and detailed feedback within 3 – 5 working days.

This CAIE English as a Second Language course consists of ten Modules and concludes with our Exam Prep Module and Mock Examination service.

Course Support

You have been enrolled by your Progress Manager who is available to help you with any administrative issues. She will support you throughout your course and help you keep to your Assignment Schedule.

You will begin your course with a video call introduction with your Course Tutor. Here you will have an opportunity to discuss the course and raise any questions or concerns. From them on, if you require guidance, you will be able to contact your Course Tutor via the Canvas Messaging System at any time.

To help you get the most out of your course, we have produced a comprehensive Course Guide. We ask you please to read it through carefully before you begin your studies.  

Good luck!
