It drew on vocabulary from the Council of Europe’s Waystage (1990) specification and other vocabulary which corpus evidence shows is high frequency.  \nThe 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) .  \nThe 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.  \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 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.  \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.englishprofile.org](http://www.englishprofile.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 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](www.cambridgeesol.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, 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’.  \n• Multi-word verbs  \nAll 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.  \n• Topic lists  \nIn 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’.  \nUnsuitable topics  \nCambridge 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.  \nPersonal vocabulary  \nThe content of the KET Vocabulary List is general in nature and is unlikely to cover completel","cbCaieEtyvCKWyZm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieEtyvCKWyZm","pdf",646715,33,"English","# Introduction to the KET Vocabulary List\n## Background to the list\n## How the list is updated\n## Organisation of the list\n## Unsuitable topics\n## Personal vocabulary\n## Abbreviations\n## Summary of points to be noted\n# Contents","[{\"question\":\"What level and vocabulary types does the KET Vocabulary List cover?\",\"answer\":\"It covers vocabulary appropriate to A2 level on the CEFR and includes both receptive vocabulary (words candidates are expected to understand) and productive vocabulary (words needed to answer questions).\"},{\"question\":\"Is the vocabulary list exhaustive for the KET and KET for Schools papers?\",\"answer\":\"No. The document states it does not provide an exhaustive list of all words appearing on the question papers, and candidates should not limit their study to the list alone.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the KET Vocabulary List updated over time?\",\"answer\":\"The list is updated annually.
