Secure your students’ journey to multilingualism
OxfordAQA offers a suite of language qualifications to support international students from around the world:
- International GCSE Arabic – First Language: A modern and engaging approach to enhance students’ Arabic proficiency while developing their communication and analytical skills. In response to teacher feedback, we’ve ensured generous exam timings to support student performance.
- NEW! International GCSE Bangla: A modern specification for learners across Bangladesh and the wider Bangla-speaking world. For first teaching from 2026, with first exams in May/June 2028.
- International GCSE & A-level Chinese – First Language: Students will develop their skills in listening, reading, writing and literary analysis, while deepening their understanding of Chinese language and culture.
- Our International GCSE French, Spanish, and Urdu specifications take the same approach as our much-loved International GCSE English as Second Language specification. They are tailored for international schools so you can be confident they are culturally relevant.
“You can never understand one language until you understand at least two.”
