1、 VOCABULARY LIST Key English Test (KET) Key English Test for Schools (KETfS) KET Vocabulary List UCLES 2012 UCLES 2012 Page 2 of 29 KET Vocabulary List Introduction to the KET Vocabulary List The KET Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when preparing students for the KET
2、and KET for Schools examinations. Background to the list The KET Vocabulary List was originally developed by Cambridge ESOL in consultation with external consultants to guide item writers who produce materials for the KET examination. It drew on vocabulary from the Council of Europes Waystage (1990)
3、 specification and other vocabulary which corpus evidence shows is high frequency. The list covers vocabulary appropriate to the A2 level on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and includes receptive vocabulary (words that the candidate is expected to understand but which is not the fo
4、cus of a question) and productive vocabulary (words that the candidate needs to know in order to answer a question). The list does not provide an exhaustive list of all words which appear on the KET and KET for Schools question papers and candidates should not confine their study of vocabulary to th
5、e list alone. How the list is updated The vocabulary of English changes over time, with words being added and other words falling into disuse. In order to maintain its currency, the KET Vocabulary List is updated on an annual basis, with the decision to add or remove words being informed by referenc
6、e to the Cambridge Learner Corpus and English Vocabulary Profile. The Cambridge Learner Corpus is a collection of over 44 million words of English, based upon evidence of language use by learners from all over the world and from which the English Vocabulary Profile has developed. The English Vocabul
7、ary Profile shows the most common words and phrases that learners of English need to know in British or American English. The meaning of each word or phrase in the wordlists has been assigned a level between A1 and B2 on the CEFR. A preview version of the English Vocabulary Profile can be accessed b
8、y visiting the website: http:/www.englishprofile.org Organisation of the list Word sets Some categories of words that a learner at this level might be expected to know, e.g. days of the week, are not included in the alphabetical list but are listed in Appendix 1. Although grammar words (pronouns, mo
9、dal verbs, etc.) are included, the Language Specifications section of the KET and KET for Schools Handbooks (available from www.cambridgeesol.org) should be consulted for a more complete listing. Exemplification Example phrases and sentences showing how words might be used are given only where words
10、 with different meanings need to be constrained. For example, bank is followed by I changed my money in a bank this shows that bank is limited to the idea of a financial institution: candidates are not expected to know other meanings, such as a river bank. UCLES 2012 Page 3 of 29 KET Vocabulary List
11、 Multi-word verbs All multi-word (or phrasal) verbs that a KET or KET for Schools candidate might be expected to know are included in the list. These verbs include literal verbs (i.e. where the meaning is transparent), e.g. sit down, go out and non-literal verbs, e.g. look after, get up. Topic lists
12、 In Appendix 2, words have been grouped together under common KET and/or KET for Schools themes, such as Food and Drink, House and Home and Sport. Unsuitable topics Cambridge ESOL examinations must not contain anything that might offend or upset candidates, potentially affect their performance or di
13、stract them during the examination. A number of sensitive topics are considered unsuitable for use in KET and KET for Schools, for example war and politics, and vocabulary relating to these is not included in the KET Vocabulary List. Personal vocabulary The content of the KET Vocabulary List is gene
14、ral in nature and is unlikely to cover completely the productive vocabulary that may be required by candidates. Candidates should know the specific lexis they will need to describe themselves and their lives, for example hobbies, likes and dislikes. Abbreviations Abbreviations used in the KET Vocabu
15、lary List are: abbrev abbreviation or acronym mv modal verb adj adjective n noun adv adverb phr v phrasal verb av auxiliary verb pl plural Am Eng American English prep preposition Br Eng British English prep phr prepositional phrase conj conjunction pron pronoun det determiner sing singular exclam e
16、xclamation v verb Summary of points to be noted The list does not include every word that may appear on a KET or KET for Schools paper. The list covers receptive and productive vocabulary. The list is updated every year. UCLES 2012 Page 4 of 29 KET Vocabulary List Contents A . 5 B . 6 C . 7 D . 9 E
