FAQs

FAQs for

Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9?1) English Language 2.0

1. Is this new GCSE aimed predominantly at post-16 learners? This new GCSE is for learners looking for a less literary route, and for students considering a different, less traditionally literary and more functional, pathway. It also gives post-16 learners needing to re-sit the opportunity to experience a fresh approach.

2. Is GCSE 2.0 replacing the current GCSE English Language 1EN0? No, GCSE 2.0 is a new GCSE that we are offering as an alternative to 1EN0, not as a replacement. We now have two GCSEs for centres to choose from.

3. What is the official title for this new GCSE in English Language? The official title is GCSE (9?1) English Language 2:0. We chose `2.0' to distinguish this GCSE from our existing one in order to avoid any confusion for teachers and learners.

4. Can the qualification be delivered across one or two years of study? Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9?1) English Language 2.0 develops skills across reading, writing and spoken language. The Assessment Objectives are common across all awarding bodies' English Language GCSEs. We know that our FE colleges enter students after one year of study and this GCSE reflects that. For schools wishing to offer GCSE 2.0, the qualification can be delivered over a two-year course of study, or taken after one year with entries made in the second year.

5. What is the contact time (teaching hours) of this qualification? In line with other GCSEs in English Language, there are 120 Guided Learning Hours allocated to this GCSE.
