2、 listThe 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) specification and other vocabulary which corpus evi

4、hat 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 the list alone.How the list is updatedThe vocabulary of
5、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 reference to the Cambridge Learner Corpus and English Vocabulary
6、 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 Vocabulary Profile shows the most common words and phrases that

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 by visiting the website: http:/www.englishprofile.orgOrgani
8、sation of the list Word setsSome 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, modal verbs, etc.) are included, the Language Specifications s
9、ectionoftheKETandKETforSchoolsHandbooks(availablefrom www.cambridgeesol.org) should be consulted for a more complete listing. ExemplificationExample phrases and sentences showing how words might be used are given only where words with different meanings need to be constrained. For example, bank is f
10、ollowed 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 2012Page 4 of 29KET Vocabulary List Multi-word verbsAll multi-word (or phrasal) verbs that a KET or KET for
11、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 listsIn Appendix 2, words have been grouped together under common KET and/or KE

A number of sensitive topics are consider
13、ed 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 vocabularyThe content of the KET Vocabulary List is general in nature and is unlikely to cover completely the productive vocabulary tha
