Welcome to our series for GCSE English Language for the Edexcel exam board.
The aims and objectives of the Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9–1) in English Language are:
- to enable students to read a wide range of texts fluently and with good understanding
- also to be able to read critically and use knowledge gained from wide reading to inform and improve writing skills
- for students to be able to write effectively and coherently using Standard English
- for students to be able to use grammar and punctuation correctly and to spell accurately
- for students to acquire and apply a wide vocabulary alongside knowledge and understanding of grammatical terminology, and linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language.
PHEW! Sounds daunting huh?
Well don't worry. In this series we cover all of this, and provide techniques and tips to cement the basics and stretch you further.

Audiopi has been very useful and I am singing your praises. Our students achieved 93% grades 4-9 at literature - and the podcasts really helped our pupils to go into the exams feeling confident about the texts.Also, the podcasts are very engaging and particularly useful for helping pupils who struggle with reading chunks of text, such as those with dyslexia
I like the way I can listen to a debate on the way home from school; I don’t have to be in a classroom or at a desk!
“We are loving the podcasts! I have got all my history students into them and they can't quite believe their luck.”
“Since purchasing Audiopi, we have seen a large growth in both motivation and progress within our students. A truly valuable resource for any student to use, regardless of ability”
"I came top of the class all thanks to Audiopi"
"As an English Teacher I can confidently say that every English Teacher would love to have Audiopi”
Audiopi has brought a different dimension to pupil revision. We were particularly impressed by the combination of core examination content and involvement of high profile historians; highly recommended!”
“Amazingly helpful. I’m a Year 10 student who has had this bought for me, it is very helpful and has shown me more POV’s on the poems. 10/10 would recommend.
