January 2025 speaking window
The speaking window for language qualifications in the January 2025 exam series is Monday 4th November to Friday 6th December 2024.
This window applies to International A Level French, German, and Spanish only. These qualifications are only available in international centres.
International A level Arabic qualification does not feature a speaking component.
Please note that International GCSEs are no longer offered in the January exam series, read the notice:
Submitting speaking assessments
All speaking recordings should be submitted via our online Learner Work Transfer (LWT) platform within 2 working days of completing the oral examinations for that language qualification in your centre.
If completing your speaking assessments on a Friday, for example, you would therefore need to submit them via LWT by the end of the following Tuesday.
This enables us to ensure that assessments are allocated to our examiners throughout the window and avoids the marking of speaking assessments impacting on the marking of other language qualification components.

I hope you have had a restful break and are ready for the summer term. As languages teachers you will likely be conducting speaking exams early on this term so I have made sure to include all the speaking exam support you may need at the very start of this update.
Please remember you can get in contact with all of your questions about Pearson Edexcel Languages qualifications. My contact details are at the bottom of this page.
Best wishes,
