Cambridge IGCSE Malay - First Language (0696)

The Cambridge IGCSE First Language Malay syllabus is for learners whose first language is Malay. This First Language syllabus develops learners' ability to communicate clearly, accurately and effectively. They learn how to employ a wide-ranging vocabulary, use correct grammar, spelling and punctuation, and develop a personal style and an awareness of the audience being addressed.

Learners are also encouraged to read widely, both for their own enjoyment and to develop an appreciation of how writers achieve their effects. The syllabus also complements other areas of study by encouraging skills of more general application.

Syllabus availability

From 2021 this syllabus will only be available in administrative zones 4 and 5. Check the administrative zones for your school.

For further information please contact our Customer Services team at info@cambridgeinternational.org.
