\n[info@cambridgeinternational.org](info@cambridgeinternational.org)  \nDear Sir/Madam,  \nCambridge IGCSE – English Language CEFR Level  \nCambridge Assessment International Education offer two IGCSE qualifications in English Language:  \n• Cambridge IGCSE First Language English – designed for students whose first language is English  \n• Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language – designed for those who speak a language other than English at home  \nTo support students requiring proof of their competence in English, we undertook to have both these qualifications aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR):  \n\n| Cambridge IGCSE First Language syllabus 0500 or 0900 (Speaking and Listening Endorsement) | Grade E or 3 overall, with grade 2 or Merit in Speaking & Listening can be considered to be at a level equivalent to B2 on the CEFR.\u003Cbr>Grade B or 6 overall, with grade 1 or Distinction in Speaking & Listening can be considered to be at a

with grade 3 or Merit in Speaking can be considered to be at a level equivalent to B1 on the CEFR. |\n\nGeneral Information on Cambridge IGCSE:  \nCambridge IGCSEs are accepted and valued by leading universities and employers around the world as evidence of academic achievement. Many universities require a combination of Cambridge International AS & A Levels and Cambridge IGCSEs or equivalent to meet their entry requirements. UK ENIC, the national agency in the UK for the recognition and comparison of international qualifications and skills, have completed an independent and objective benchmarking analysis of Cambridge IGCSE to the UK education system. UK ENIC found the Cambridge IGCSE for both grading systems, A* -G and 9-1, comparable to GCSE standards.  \nMore information about Cambridge IGCSE can be found at: [https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/cambridge-upper-secondary/cambridge-igcse/](https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/cambridge-upper-secondary/cambridge-igcse/)[ ](https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/cambridge-upper-secondary/cambridge-igcse/)If you have any questions about Cambridge IGCSE in English Language, please send these directly to  \n[info@cambridgeinternational.org](info@cambridgeinternational.org)  \nYours sincerely,  \nCambridge International Education","cbCaidJtVVEy0Klb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidJtVVEy0Klb","pdf",193583,"English","# Cambridge IGCSE English Language CEFR Level\n## Alignment rationale and qualifications covered\n## CEFR equivalence by syllabus and grade outcomes\n## General recognition and further information","[{\"question\":\"Which Cambridge IGCSE English Language qualifications are aligned to CEFR in this letter?\",\"answer\":\"The letter covers Cambridge IGCSE First Language English (0500 or 0900) and Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language (0510 or 0993, and 0511 or 0991).\"},{\"question\":\"What CEFR level is associated with Cambridge IGCSE First Language English (0500/0900) for selected grades?\",\"answer\":\"Grade E or 3 overall with grade 2/Merit in Speaking \\u0026 Listening is considered equivalent to B2, while grade B or 6 overall with grade 1/Distinction in Speaking \\u0026 Listening is considered equivalent to C1.\"},{\"question\":\"What CEFR level mapping is provided for Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language (Speaking endorsement)?\",\"answer\":\"For the covered syllabuses, grade C or 4 overall with grade 2/Distinction in Speaking is considered equivalent to B2, and grade E or 3 overall with grade 3/Merit in Speaking is considered equivalent to B1.\"}]","Cambridge IGCSE – English Language CEFR Level - Mapping Qualifications to CEFR | PDF",1792721704]
