All texts in the examination will be ‘unseen’, that is, learners will not have studied the examination texts during the course. GCSE English Language will focus primarily on the functional aspects of language.
The term ‘functional’ here should be considered in the broad sense of providing learners with the skills and abilities they need to take active and responsible roles in their communities, everyday life, the workplace and in educational settings.
