Cambridge International AS and A Level English Language develops learners’ skills in analysing and producing a wide range of spoken and written texts, and their understanding of how English is used in different contexts and for different purposes.

Cambridge has since published a newer syllabus: Version 1, published September 2024, for exams in 2027 and 2028 (confirmed directly from the official syllabus PDF), with no significant content changes from the prior 2024-2026 version – textbooks endorsed for examination from 2021 remain suitable. AS Level: Paper 1 Reading (50% of AS / 25% of A Level), Paper 2 Writing (50% of AS / 25% of A Level). A Level adds Paper 3 Language Analysis and Paper 4 Language Topics (each 25% of A Level), covering language change, child language acquisition, English in the world, and language and the self.
