Assessment Guidance

Key words and phrases will be those in most common usage and those most relevant to the context in which the learner is living, learning and/or working. They might include for example numbers, common adjectives, jobs, countries, days of the week and words relating to family such as son or sister.
Learners do not need to understand every word spoken to them, so long as they are able to follow what is said sufficiently to be able to pick out the key, relevant elements required by the assessment criteria.
Learners should be building up a range of vocabulary as they prepare to progress to Entry 1 ESOL. There is no precise number of words or phrases that learners are required to be able to recognise in order to meet the assessment criteria for this unit but they should be able to recognise a sufficient range, in line with the examples provided within the unit, to meet the assessment criteria.
Learners can demonstrate their recognition of key words and phrases through verbal or non-verbal
