WRITING | GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Writingassessment
Glossaryofterms
1. GENERAL
Generally Generally is a qualier meaning not in every way or instance. Thus,
generally appropriately refers to performance that is not as good
as appropriately.
Flexibility Flexible and exibly refer to the ability to adapt whether
language, organisational devices, or task conventions rather than
using the same form over and over, thus evidencing better control
and a wider repertoire of the resource. Flexibility allows a candidate
to better achieve communicative goals.
2. CONTENT
Relevant Relevant means related or relatable to required content points and/
or task requirements.
Target reader The target reader is the hypothetical reader set up in the task,
e.g. a magazines readership, your English teacher.
Informed The target reader is informed if content points and/or task
requirements are addressed and appropriately developed. Some
content points do not require much development (e.g. state what
is x) while others require it (describe, explain).
3. COMMUNICATIVE ACHIEVEMENT
Conventions
of the
communicative
task
Conventions of the communicative task include such things
as genre, format, register and function. For example, a personal
letter should not be written as a formal report, should be laid out
accordingly, and use the right tone for the communicative purpose.
Holding the
target readers
attention
Holding the target readers attention is used in the positive sense
and refers to the quality of a text that allows a reader to derive
meaning and not be distracted. It does not refer to texts that force
a reader to read closely because they are difcult to follow or make
sense of.
Communicative
purpose
Communicative purpose refers to the communicative
requirements as set out in the task, e.g. make a complaint, suggest
alternatives.
Straightforward
and complex
ideas
Straightforward ideas are those which relate to relatively limited
subject matter, usually concrete in nature, and which require simpler
rhetorical devices to communicate.
Complex ideas are those which are of a more abstract nature,
or which cover a wider subject area, requiring more rhetorical
resources to bring together and express.
4. ORGANISATION
Linking words,
cohesive
devices, and
organisational
patterns
Linking words are cohesive devices, but are separated here to refer
to higher-frequency vocabulary which provides explicit linkage. They
can range from basic high-frequency items (such as and, but) to
basic and phrasal items (such as because, rst of all, nally).
Cohesive devices refers to more sophisticated linking words and
phrases (e.g. moreover, it may appear, as a result), as well
as grammatical devices such as the use of reference pronouns,
substitution (e.g. There are two women in the picture. The one on
the right ), ellipsis (e.g. The rst car he owned was a convertible,
the second a family car) , or repetition.
Organisational patterns refers to less-explicit ways of achieving
connection at the between-sentence level and beyond, e.g.
arranging sentences in climactic order, the use of parallelism, using
a rhetorical question to set up a new paragraph.
5. LANGUAGE
Vocabulary Basic vocabulary refers to vocabulary used for survival purposes,
for simple transactions, and the like.
Everyday vocabulary refers to vocabulary that comes up in
common situations of a non-technical nature in the relevant
domain.
Less common lexis refers to vocabulary items that appear less
often in the relevant domain. These items often help to express
ideas more succinctly and precisely.
Appropriacy of
vocabulary
Appropriacy of vocabulary means the use of words and phrases
that t the context of the given task. For example, in Im very sensible
to noise, the word sensible is inappropriate as the word should be
sensitive. Another example would be Todays big snow makes getting
around the city difcult. The phrase getting around is well suited to
this situation. However, big snow is inappropriate as big and snow
are not used together. Heavy snow would be appropriate.
Grammatical
forms
Simple grammatical forms are words, phrases, basic tenses and
simple clauses.
Complex grammatical forms are longer and more complex items,
e.g. noun clauses, relative and adverb clauses, subordination,
passive forms, innitives, verb patterns, modal forms and tense
contrasts.
Grammatical
control
Grammatical control refers to the ability to consistently use
grammar accurately and appropriately to convey intended meaning.
Range Range refers to the variety of words and grammatical forms a
candidate uses. At higher levels, candidates will make increasing
use of a greater variety of words, xed phrases, collocations and
grammatical forms.
Errors and slips Errors are systematic mistakes. Slips are mistakes that are non-
systematic, i.e. the candidate has learned the vocabulary item or
grammatical structure, but just happened to make a mistake in this
instance. In a candidates response, where most other examples of
a lexical/grammatical point are accurate, a mistake on that point
would most likely be a slip.
Impede
communication
Impede communication means getting in the way of meaning.
Meaning can still be determined indicates that some efort is
required from the reader to determine meaning.

Nowadays, many facilities could use money from local authorities. There are people who claim that cultural
institutions should receive more money than other facilities. But which ones should receive more investment is
open to debate.
On the one hand, museums should be the institutions that need to receive a lot of money because people
have lost the interest in visiting and promoting them. In a world where true values are not respected as they
should be, it is important to remember what really matters. Moreover, the young men should be aware of the
importance of knowing basic things in different domains. For example, science and history museums provide
people very interesting informations. Therefore, in order to have well-informed teenagers, the local authorities
should give money to museums. With that money, it can be organised events like the day of open museums.
On the other hand, green spaces should also receive money from local authorities. Mainly because in big
cities, where the air is very polluted trees can absorb many of the gases produced leading to a much healthier
environment. Furthermore, there can be built spaces for kids to play and also running tracks for people who
cannot afford to go to gym. It is important for people to keep doing exercises in open air and in my opinion,
parks are the best place.
All in all, as far as I am concerned the most important facility that should receive investment from local
authority are the museums.

Facilities in need of funds
Having listened to todays radio programme about facilities that need financial help, I realised that sports
centers and public gardens have been neglected over the years by the local authorities.
There are few sports centers out there that meet the right characteristics that a good sports center must
have. This is one of the many reasons that people avoid sport. We see lots of kids nowadays suffering from
obesity and other health problems caused by the simple fact that they dont do sport.
Another reason for this is that people have nowhere to go out for a walk or to run in a nice place. Public
gardens, parks for example are also lacking in numbers. The ones that are already there are not very nice and
they dont look very good.
I think that by improving this two facilities the population can benefit from this. By creating more sports
centers, there will be some more jobs offered, and some kids might even follow a sports career. By making
more public gardens people can get out more often and spend some good quality time relaxing.
I think that local authorities should invest money in both facilities because, this is a good way to increase the
populations health.

theseareoftenslipsanddonotimpedecommunication:you can do at these days; There is almost countless list.
In regard of a recent discussion about the facilities, which are financially supported by local authorities,
I would like to write a few of my personal thoughts. Whether we are talking about sports centres or public
gardens, there is no doubt that they are both a good thing to have in the city and should both be supported
somehow. The only question then is which one of these is more important, what are the pros and cons of each
one?
Let me start with the sport centres as I think these are a bit more problematic. Obviously, in our times where
lots of people spend days sitting in their office staring at a computer, some sort of physical training is
very important. We have to balance that shift in our lifestyles. The problem I see with supporting the sports
centres is the number of activities that you can do at these days. There is almost countless list of either
individual or team sports that we can think of, and each centre is usually designed for a specific type or at
least a group of sports similar in its nature. Therefore I think that it is too difficult to support them equally
and we cant say which activity is better than the others either. Another reason for not financing sports as
much as green parks is their commercial use. What I mean by that is that we usually pay for everything the
centre offers us to do and therefore they are more able to last from their own money than gardens.
Regarding of the green spaces, the situation is much clearer I think. Every city needs gardens where people
can sit and relax, but nobody is going to pay a tax for just walking around.
These factors lead me to my conclusion, that the public gardens are definitely a facility which should be
financed from public money, whereas in the case of sports centres, the situation is questionable.

43 CAMBRIDGEENGLISH:ADVANCEDSPECIFICATIONS AND SAMPLE PAPERS
Speakingassessment
Glossaryofterms
1. GENERAL
Conveying basic
meaning
Conveying basic meaning: the ability of candidates to get their
message across to their listeners, despite possible inaccuracies in
the structure and/or delivery of the message.
Situations and
topics
Everyday situations: situations that candidates come across in
their everyday lives, e.g. having a meal, asking for information,
shopping, going out with friends or family, travelling to school or
work, taking part in leisure activities. A Cambridge English: Key
(KET) task that requires candidates to exchange details about a
stores opening hours exemplies an everyday situation.
Familiar topics: topics about which candidates can be expected to
have some knowledge or personal experience. Cambridge English:
First (FCE) tasks that require candidates to talk about what people
like to do on holiday, or what it is like to do diferent jobs, exemplify
familiar topics.
Unfamiliar topics: topics which candidates would not be expected
to have much personal experience of. Cambridge English: Advanced
(CAE) tasks that require candidates to speculate about whether
people in the world today only care about themselves, or the
kinds of problems that having a lot of money can cause, exemplify
unfamiliar topics.
Abstract topics: topics which include ideas rather than concrete
situations or events. Cambridge English: Prociency (CPE) tasks
that require candidates to discuss how far the development of our
civilisation has been afected by chance discoveries or events, or the
impact of writing on society, exemplify abstract topics.
Utterance Utterance: people generally write in sentences and they speak in
utterances. An utterance may be as short as a word or phrase, or a
longer stretch of language.
2. GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY (cont.)
Appropriacy of
vocabulary
Appropriacy of vocabulary: the use of words and phrases that t
the context of the given task. For example, in the utterance Im very
sensible to noise, the word sensible is inappropriate as the word
should be sensitive. Another example would be Todays big snow
makes getting around the city difcult. The phrase getting around is
well suited to this situation. However, big snow is inappropriate as
big and snow are not used together. Heavy snow would be
appropriate.
Flexibility Flexibility: the ability of candidates to adapt the language they
use in order to give emphasis, to diferentiate according to the
context, and to eliminate ambiguity. Examples of this would be
reformulating and paraphrasing ideas.
Grammatical
control
Grammatical control: the ability to consistently use grammar
accurately and appropriately to convey intended meaning.
Where language specications are provided at lower levels (as in
Cambridge English: Key (KET) and Cambridge English: Preliminary
(PET)), candidates may have control of only the simplest exponents
of the listed forms.
Attempts at control: sporadic and inconsistent use of accurate
and appropriate grammatical forms. For example, the inconsistent
use of one form in terms of structure or meaning, the production of
one part of a complex form incorrectly or the use of some complex
forms correctly and some incorrectly.
Spoken language often involves false starts, incomplete utterances,
ellipsis and reformulation. Where communication is achieved, such
features are not penalised.
2. GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY (cont.)
Grammatical
forms
Simple grammatical forms: words, phrases, basic tenses and
simple clauses.
Complex grammatical forms: longer and more complex
utterances, e.g. noun clauses, relative and adverb clauses,
subordination, passive forms, innitives, verb patterns, modal forms
and tense contrasts.
Range Range: the variety of words and grammatical forms a candidate
uses. At higher levels, candidates will make increasing use
of a greater variety of words, xed phrases, collocations and
grammatical forms.
3. DISCOURSE MANAGEMENT
Coherence and
cohesion
Coherence and cohesion are difcult to separate in discourse.
Broadly speaking, coherence refers to a clear and logical stretch of
speech which can be easily followed by a listener. Cohesion refers
to a stretch of speech which is unied and structurally organised.
Coherence and cohesion can be achieved in a variety of ways,
including with the use of cohesive devices, related vocabulary,
grammar and discourse markers.
Cohesive devices: words or phrases which indicate relationships
between utterances, e.g. addition (and, in addition, moreover);
consequence (so, therefore, as a result); order of information (rst,
second, next, nally).
At higher levels, candidates should be able to provide cohesion not
just with basic cohesive devices (e.g. and, but, or, then, nally) but
also with more sophisticated devices (e.g. therefore, moreover, as a
result, in addition, however, on the other hand).
Related vocabulary: the use of several items from the same lexical
set, e.g. train, station, platform, carriage; or study, learn, revise.
Grammatical devices: essentially the use of reference pronouns
(e.g. it, this, one) and articles (e.g. There are two women in the
picture. The one on the right . . .).
Discourse markers: words or phrases which are primarily used in
spoken language to add meaning to the interaction, e.g. you know,
you see, actually, basically, I mean, well, anyway, like.
Extent/extended
stretches of
language
Extent/extended stretches of language: the amount of language
produced by a candidate which should be appropriate to the task.
Long turn tasks require longer stretches of language, whereas tasks
which involve discussion or answering questions could require
shorter and extended responses.
Relevance Relevance: a contribution that is related to the task and not about
something completely diferent.
Repetition Repetition: repeating the same idea instead of introducing new
ideas to develop the topic.
SPEAKING | GLOSSARY OF TERMS
44 CAMBRIDGEENGLISH:ADVANCEDSPECIFICATIONS AND SAMPLE PAPERS
SPEAKING | GLOSSARY OF TERMS
4. PRONUNCIATION
Intelligible Intelligible: a contribution which can generally be understood
by a non-EFL/ESOL specialist, even if the speaker has a strong or
unfamiliar accent.
Phonological
features
Phonological features include the pronunciation of individual
sounds, word and sentence stress, and intonation.
Individual sounds are:
pronounced vowels, e.g. the // in cat or the // in bed
diphthongs, when two vowels are rolled together to produce one
sound, e.g. the // in host or the // in hate
consonants, e.g. the // in cut or the // in sh.
Stress: the emphasis laid on a syllable or word. Words of two or
more syllables have one syllable which stands out from the rest
because it is pronounced more loudly and clearly, and is longer
than the others, e.g. imPORtant. Word stress can also distinguish
between words, e.g. proTEST vs PROtest. In sentences, stress
can be used to indicate important meaning, e.g. WHY is that one
important? versus Why is THAT one important?
Intonation: the way the voice rises and falls, e.g. to convey the
speakers mood, to support meaning or to indicate new information.
5. INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION
Development of
the interaction
Development of the interaction: actively developing the
conversation, e.g. by saying more than the minimum in response to
the written or visual stimulus, or to something the other candidate/
interlocutor has said, or by proactively involving the other candidate
with a suggestion or question about further developing the topic
(e.g. What about bringing a camera for the holiday? or Whys that?).
Initiating and
Responding
Initiating: starting a new turn by introducing a new idea or a new
development of the current topic.
Responding: replying or reacting to what the other candidate or the
interlocutor has said.
Prompting and
Supporting
Prompting: instances when the interlocutor repeats, or uses a
backup prompt or gesture in order to get the candidate to respond
or make a further contribution.
Supporting: instances when one candidate helps another
candidate, e.g. by providing a word they are looking for during a
discussion activity, or helping them develop an idea.
Turn and Simple
exchange
Turn: everything a person says before someone else speaks.
Simple exchange: a brief interaction which typically involves two
turns in the form of an initiation and a response, e.g. question-
answer, suggestion-agreement.
