Supporting autism in iGCSE English Language
Make the language task explicit
| Focus | A useful question to ask |
|---|---|
| Inference | What does the text state, and what can we reasonably infer? |
| Audience | Who is the writing for, and which choices suit that reader? |
| Effect | How does a specific word or pattern contribute to meaning? |
Agree the way you will work
Explain the expected response
Use a short example to clarify the task and discuss why it works. Avoid relying on unstated expectations.
Allow thinking time
Agree how questions will be introduced and whether written prompts or advance access to a text would help.
Keep room for your interpretation
Test an idea against the passage. A supported alternative reading can be worth exploring rather than dismissing.
Check the International GCSE course
IGCSE means International General Certificate of Secondary Education. Boards, course codes and assessment routes differ. Share the exact qualification with your tutor before choosing resources or practising under timed conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Must I read aloud?
Discuss that in advance. Silent reading or shared annotation may be options. The approach should help you engage with the text comfortably.
Can we practise different writing purposes?
Yes. Compare how the same information changes in a speech, letter or article where relevant to your specification.
