As outlined in our statement on 13th May 2024, from 1st August 2024 and throughout the duration of the current Communication Syllabus (until 2029), learners can choose their Set Pieces* from the following anthologies:
  • Verse and Prose Anthology Volumes 19 and 20

For Own Choice Pieces, learners may choose from:
  • Verse and Prose Anthology Volume 19

Learners can also select Own Choice Pieces from older Verse and Prose Anthologies or any other literary source, provided the pieces meet the specific exam requirements for their chosen qualification. This also applies to pieces from Volume 19 used as Own Choice.

Own Choice Pieces selected for Speaking Verse and Prose exams must not be set anywhere in the current LAMDA Verse and Prose Anthology (Volume 20). Pieces selected for a Learner’s Set and Own Choice piece must be completely different and cannot share any text.

For reference, please see our latest statement here: https://www.lamda.ac.uk/news/new-anthologies-syllabi-update-lamda-exams


*IMPORTANT: the Set Piece chosen by the Learner must correspond to the specific subject and grade taken (i.e, for Speaking Verse and Prose Grade 1, Learners must prepare a Set Piece taken from the Grade 1 selection).
