2Overview of Courses Offered to Students in Years 10 and 11In the Upper Secondary School (Years 10 to 13) we offer a range of courses that enablestudents to gain internationally recognised, externally assessed, qualifications. Thesecourses are also designed to prepare students for higher level academic courses which arefollowed in Years 12 and 13, and life beyond.Our programme of core and elective courses in the Upper Secondary enables students tofollow individual interests deeply, while maintaining a broad curriculum. All classes aretaught by subject specialists and all language teachers are native speakers. Lanna offersvery small class sizes in the upper years, ensuring personal attention and assistance forour students.During Years 10 and 11 the curriculum that we offer is anchored by the InternationalGeneral Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), an external examination programdesigned for 14 to 16 year olds (Years 10 to 11) and based upon the British NationalCurriculum.The IGCSE provides a very broad programme of study. In each subject there is a balancebetween practical and theoretical knowledge but the emphasis in almost all subjects is skillsrelated to that subject. The curriculum is designed so that students can use examplesrelated to their own experiences and residence. The nature of the program is such thatstudents of different abilities can follow it.Students sit examinations at the end of the IGCSE courses, in Year 11. Theseexaminations are marked by experienced examiners appointed by CIE (CambridgeInternational Examinations). CIE is a division of the University of Cambridge LocalExaminations Syndicate which in turn is part of the University of Cambridge.Choose Carefully.IGCSE is recognised internationally and it is evidence of ability to academics andemployers throughout the world. A strong performance at this stage could have a significantimpact on your future.It is essential that the subjects you choose are the ones that:a) are relevant to you,b) interest you, andc) give you a good chance of success.

5English - Language and Literature IGCSEs (Years 10 & 11)Areas of Study:1. First Language English IGCSE2. English Literature IGCSE3. Second Language English IGCSEEach of these areas of study represents a separate IGCSE, each with a separate set ofexaminations and a separate qualification.English is organised so that we are able to offer different combinations of the three areas ofstudy based on the appropriate needs of a group.What each student studies is based on an assessment and achievement of the year groupin year 9 in terms of language level, need and attitude to study. We have, in the past,offered these courses both singularly and as different combinations. The decision as towhich combinations of courses will be run is based on a number of assessments of studentperformance and their achievement throughout Key Stage 3.This flexible approach means we can better structure our course to suit all and thereforeraise the attainment of all.On the following pages are the details of each course.

6English - First Language IGCSE (Years 10 & 11 )Areas of Study:The course is based on Cambridge IGCSE First Language English syllabus (0500).
