VOCABULARY LIST
A2 Key
A2 Key for Schools
Introduction to the A2 Key Vocabulary List
The A2 Key Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when preparing students
for the A2 Key and Key for Schools examinations.
The A2 Key Vocabulary List was originally developed by Cambridge English in consultation with external
consultants to guide item writers who produce materials for the A2 Key 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 are 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 A2 Key and A2 Key for
Schools question papers and candidates should not confine their study of vocabulary to the list alone.
The vocabulary of English changes over time, with words being added and other words falling into
disuse. In order to maintain its currency, the Key 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 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
• 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 Key and Key for Schools Handbooks (available from www.cambridgeenglish.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’.

A2 Key and Key for Schools
• Multi-word verbs
All multi-word (or phrasal) verbs that a A2 Key or A2 Key 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 A2 Key and/or A2 Key for Schools
themes, such as ‘Food and Drink’, ‘House and Home’ and ‘Sport’. Not all the words in the Topic Lists
headings appear on the wordlist.
Unsuitable topics
Cambridge Assessment English 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 A2 Key and Key for Schools, for example war
and politics, and vocabulary relating to these is not included in the Key Vocabulary List.
Personal vocabulary
The content of the A2 Key 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.
