English (Core) as a Second Language (Egypt) 0465

Seven original lesson sequences map all twelve official Reading, Writing and Listening objectives (R1–R4, W1–W4 and L1–L4); a separate practice lesson offers original browser-spoken prompts and optional self-review. Paper 1 is Reading and Writing (1 hour 45 minutes, 60 marks, 70%): four reading and two writing exercises. Each writing response is 100–150 words; there is no summary task. Paper 2 is Listening (about 45 minutes, 30 marks, 30%): five exercises with 30 multiple-choice questions; Cambridge recordings are played twice. Browser speech is supplemental, not Cambridge audio or a timed official paper. Cambridge reports no significant teaching changes affecting the 2027–2029 syllabus. The 2024–2026 cycle includes the 2024 assessment update: the summary task was removed and listening became all multiple choice. The qualification is for centres in Egypt, is not available in every administrative zone, and awards grades C–G. Confirm entry details with the centre and Cambridge.

For centres in Egypt only. June and November examination series are listed, and private candidates may enter. The syllabus is not available in every administrative zone, so confirm the year, zone and centre arrangements. Cambridge states there are no significant changes affecting teaching in the 2027–2029 syllabus. The 2024–2026 route reflects the assessment update for exams from June 2024, including multiple-choice listening and no summary task.
