Introduction

Following on from the successful Practise and Pass series for the Cambridge Young Learners English exams,

Practise and Pass A2 Key for Schools is aimed at learners aged between eleven and fourteen who are

preparing for the Cambridge English: A2 Key for Schools examination

Through a range of interesting and stimulating tasks for each part of the exam, students are gradually guided towards the exam task itself In this way, their confi dence is built up, together with an understanding of what exactly each exam task requires them to do Exam-anxiety is therefore reduced through familiarisation with the exam task requirements

Practise and Pass A2 Key for Schools has been updated in line with the 2020 changes to the exam, and

draws upon both the lexical topic areas required for this level and the grammatical structures that students

are required to know In combination with a focus on exams skills training through the Prepare and Practise

tasks, the students are given a comprehensive set of materials which, it is hoped, will provide them with every possibility of passing the exam

The Student’s Book

The book is divided into four sections:

Reading and Writing Parts 1–7 Listening Parts 1–5

Speaking Parts 1–2 Practice Test – Complete Key for Schools test

Each of the sections, Reading and Writing, Listening and Speaking follows a three-step approach for each part

of the exam

Step 1 – Prepare

Here, core topic vocabulary is presented and practised through tasks that also start to focus the students’ attention on how to deal with the exam task Key grammatical structures are also focused on, wherever they are relevant to the task

Introduction

Introduction

Step 2 – Practise

The tasks in these pages prepare students in more depth for the exam-style task in the Pass section through

the use of a graded approach

Step 3 – Pass

The exam-style task in this section builds on the work that has been done in the previous two sections and

is therefore a more approachable way of preparing the students for the actual exam – and indeed for the

Practice Test material included in the fi nal section of the Student’s Book

Perfect!

At the end of the Reading and Writing, Listening and Speaking sections you will fi nd a Perfect! stage Here we

aim to bring all the key information about the papers together and provide additional advice for students on

how to perfect their performance on the day

Practice Tests

In order to give students maximum practice before the actual exam, the Practice Test could be carried out

under exam conditions and according to the offi cial timing One hour and ten minutes should be allocated

for Paper 1 Reading and Writing while Paper 2 Listening lasts for about 30 minutes Paper 3 Speaking takes

between 8–10 minutes and is normally conducted by two examiners for each pair of candidates For Part 1 of

the Speaking section in the Practice Test, the teacher can ask the questions and the student can reply For Part

2, students can work in pairs using the materials provided The teacher simply needs to give the instructions in

the rubrics

In addition to the Practice Test in the book, you will be able to download additional tests from our website and

Guidelines and information for students and teachers

The aims, scope and procedures of the Test are too complex to summarise here Teachers are advised to

obtain the current handbook, vocabulary list and sample papers all of which can be downloaded at: https://

keyandpreliminary.cambridgeenglish.org/

General tips

Familiarisation with language

Students generally need to see words several times before they remember them so lots of practice using the words on the vocabulary list is advised Also, students should be encouraged to read in English as much as

possible; many of our DELTA Publishing graded readers are achievable for this level https://www.deltapublishing.

co.uk/titles/delta-readers

Spelling should be incorporated into lessons as

a fun activity on a regular basis Spelling out a name or an address is a function that is required

in daily life so it is vital that students are able to cope with this without too much hesitation or diffi culty Number work should also be done on a regular basis

Useful Language for Part 2!

phrases with the same meaning, e.g.: go back =

return; prefer = have more fun doing sth; didn’t like sth =

sth was awful

phrases with the same meaning but using a

negative, e.g.: I had never seen her before = it was the

fi rst time I’d seen her

things that are part of a particular group, e.g.: son =

family member; apple, pear = food, etc

Introduction

Students should also be encouraged to understand the concept of paraphrasing: that is, the ability to express

the meaning of a word or phrase in a different way or to understand when this is present in a text

Each Unit includes a Useful Language box In the Preparation Pack at the back of the book, you will also fi nd

vocabulary mind maps, key grammar, and functional expressions to help in the Writing and Speaking Papers

• the questions follow the order of the text

• one question might be on the whole text

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO

Each Unit starts with a What you

have to do box In this box we explain

exactly what students have to do in this part of the Paper

Students should be trained to read the instructions of each task carefully before they start writing, and to read and understand the example They should also be made aware that they need to use the knowledge they have acquired of the language to think about their answers, and not just simply put down the answer that seems

to be the correct one at a fi rst glance

Essential exam tips

Each Pass section includes exam tips Here are some more tips regarding the exam that can be given to the students

EXAM TIP!

• Finding the same word in the text as in the question doesn’t mean that this is the correct answer

• Read the text quickly to get the general idea of what it is about Who is writing the text and why?

• Then read the questions one at a time and fi nd the answers in the text

• If the question is about the whole text, then think carefully about the answer

EXAM TIP!

Answer key, notes and audio scripts

Reading and Writing

• Make sure you understand the meaning of the text or dialogue as a whole

• Take your time and check your answers

• Check that the answers you think are wrong are in fact wrong

• Always answer every question even if you are not completely sure

• For Part 9, check your writing for the following points:

• Stay relaxed while you are listening and remember that you will hear each part twice

• As you listen, keep reading the question so that you are sure what information you should listen for

Speaking

• Greet the examiner as you enter the examination room

• Always answer the questions – don’t worry about making mistakes!
