Our new Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9–1) in Urdu has been developed to help students of all abilities progress and develop a passion for languages, through culturally engaging content.  \nWe’ve listened to feedback from the languages community and have developed an engaging and inspirational course of study that will enable your students to manipulate and use the target language effectively, independently and creatively, so that they have a solid basis from which to progress to A Level or employment.  \nEngaging and popular topics  \nOur specification includes both familiar and new topics that you have told us you like and that motivate your students.  \nManageable content  \nOur content has been structured across five themes. This flexible programme of study allows time for a focused revision period at the end of the course .  \nContent and assessments that provide an engaging real-world focus  \nThe authentic situations and stimuli enable students to see language in context and learn about the culture of the target language country. Our assessments allow for spontaneity and test grammar as well as providing plenty of opportunities for students to apply their knowledge independently, creatively and in authentic situations.  \nStraightforward assessments that are accessible to all students  \nSpecial care has been taken to ensure that all our papers are designed to be clear and concise and, where appropriate, questions feature scaffolding to help all students progress through the assessments confidently.
