Within the five levels, KET is at Level A2 (Waystage) in the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment. It has been accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority in the UK as an Entry Level 2 ESOL certificate in the National Qualifications Framework. = Council of Europe Framework | UK National Qualifications aaeaEs Level Framework Level CPE Certificate of Proficiency o2 3 in English CAE és 5 Certificate in Advanced English FCE First Certificate in English Se f PET Preliminary English Test 8} ays KET isa popular exam with candidates who are learning English out of personal interest and for those ‘who are studying for employment reasons.

The standard format for Paper 3 is two candidates and two examiners. One examiner acts as an assessor and does not join in the conversation. The other is also an assessor (called the interlocutor) and he/she manages the conversation by asking questions and setting up the tasks (see Paper 3 frames on pages 125-129). ‘Task types Short exchanges with the examiner and an interactive task involving both candidates. Timing, 8410 minutes per pair of candidates. Marks Candidates are assessed on their performance throughout the test. There are a total of 25 marks in Paper 3, making 25% of the total score for the whole examination, Preparing for the Speaking Test Take every opportunity to practise your English with as many people as possible. Asking and answering questions in simple role plays provides useful practice. These role plays should focus on everyday language and situations and involve questions about daily activities and familiar experiences, It is also a good idea to practise exchanging information in role plays about things such as costs and opening times of, for example, a local sports centre.

Assessment You are assessed on your own individual performance and not in relation to the other candidate.

Grammar and Vocabulary This refers to the candidate's ability to use vocabulary and structure. Ik also covers the ability to paraphrase to convey meaning. | Aauide to KETPronunciation ‘This refers to the intelligibility of speech. Having an accent from the candidate's first language is not penalised if it does not affect communication. Interactive Communication This refers to the candidate's ability co take part in che interaction appropriately. Hesitation while the candidate searches for language is expected and is not penalised so long as it does nor strain the patience of the listener. Candidates are given credit for being able to ask for repetition or clarification if necessary. Further information The information in this practice book is designed to give an overview of KET.
