It includes vocabulary from the Council of Europe’s Threshold (1990) specification and other vocabulary which corpus evidence shows is high frequency.  \nThe list covers vocabulary appropriate to the B1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and includes receptive vocabulary (words that the candidate is expected to understand but which are not the focus of a question) and productive vocabulary (words that the candidate needs to know to answer a question) .  \nThe list does not provide an exhaustive list of all words which appear on the Preliminary and Preliminary for Schools question papers and candidates should not confine their study of vocabulary to the list alone.  \nHow the list is updated  \nThe vocabulary of English changes over time, with words being added and other words falling into disuse. In order to maintain its currency, the Preliminary Vocabulary List is updated on a regular basis, with the decision to add or remove words being informed by reference to the Cambridge Learner Corpus and English Profile Wordlists.  \nThe 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.  \nA preview version of the English Vocabulary Profile can be accessed by visiting the website: [http://www.englishprofi](http://www.englishprofi)[le.org](le.org)  \nOrganisation of the list  \n• Word sets  \nSome categories of words that a learner at this level might be expected to know, e.g. days of the week, are now included in the alphabetical list and in Appendix 1 (2025 update) . Although‘grammar words’ (pronouns, modal verbs, etc.) are included, the Language Specification section of the Preliminary Handbook and Preliminary for Schools Handbook (available from [from www.cambridgeenglish.org](from www.cambridgeenglish.org)) should be consulted for a more complete listing.  \n• Exemplification  \nExample phrases and sentences showing how words might be used are given only where words with different meanings need to be constrained. For example, heel is followed by ‘ I can’t walk in high heels’ – this shows that heel is limited to the idea of shoes: candidates are not expected to know other meanings, such as the part of the body.  \n• Multi-word verbs  \nMulti-word (or phrasal) verbs are not included in the list if they have a literal meaning and are composed of verbs and particles already in the list. Examples of ‘literal’ multi-word verbs are come into , sit down , as in ‘Why not come into the kitchen and sit down?’ If the meaning of the verb is not transparent, e.g. find out, get along, give in, then the verb is  \nlisted and an example of usage given.  \n• Topic lists  \nIn Appendix 2, words have been grouped together under common Preliminary and/or Preliminary for Schools themes, such as ‘Food and Drink’, ‘House and Home’ and ‘Sport’. All the words in the Topic Lists headings now appear on the wordlist (2025 update) .  \nUnsuitable topics  \nCambridge Assessment English examinations must not contain anything that might offend or","cbCaijTrGYks9xkf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijTrGYks9xkf","pdf",864462,53,"English","# Introduction to the Preliminary Vocabulary List\n# Background to the list\n# How the list is updated\n# Organisation of the list\n## Word sets\n## Exemplification\n## Multi-word verbs\n## Topic lists\n# Unsuitable topics\n# Personal vocabulary\n# Abbreviations\n# Summary of points to be noted\n# A","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the B1 Preliminary Vocabulary List?\",\"answer\":\"It serves as a teacher guide to the vocabulary needed for the B1 Preliminary and Preliminary for Schools examinations.\"},{\"question\":\"What vocabulary types does the list include?\",\"answer\":\"It includes receptive vocabulary (understanding expected) and productive vocabulary (needed to answer questions).\"},{\"question\":\"How is the vocabulary list updated over time?\",\"answer\":\"Updates are made regularly based on evidence from the Cambridge Learner Corpus and English Profile Wordlists, and words may be added or removed to maintain currency.\"}]","B1 Preliminary Vocabulary List - B1 Preliminary for Schools - August 2025 Additions in green | PDF",1790579240,134]
