KET Vocabulary List

© UCLES 2012

Introduction to the KET Vocabulary List

The KET Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when preparing students for the KET 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 Europe’s Waystage (1990) 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 focus 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 the 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 reference 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 Vocabulary 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 by 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, modal 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 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’.

KET Vocabulary List

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

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 distract 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

Introduction to the KET Vocabulary List

The KET Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when preparing students for the KET 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 Europe’s Waystage (1990) 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 focus 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 the 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 reference 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 Vocabulary 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 by 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, modal 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 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’.

Page 3: Key vocabulary list

© UCLES 2012 Page 3 of 29 KET Vocabulary List

• 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 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 distract 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 general 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 Vocabulary 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 exclamation 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.

    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 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)
    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 focus 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 the 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
    reference 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 Vocabulary 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 by 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, modal 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 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

    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

    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
    distract 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 general 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 Vocabulary 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 exclamation 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.
