Cambridge English Qualifications Young Learners tests Cambridge English Qualifications Young Learners tests are for learners of English between the ages of and 12 The tests are comprised of three levels: Pre A1 Starters, A1 Movers and A2 Flyers These tests are designed to take learners from beginner level up to CEFR level A2 The A2 Flyers test is roughly equivalent to Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Key (previously known as the Key English Test or KET), but the A2 Flyers test is written specifically for younger children There’s no pass or fail in these tests – instead, every student gets a certificate with between one and five shields in each paper to show their level of achievement What’s in the Flyers test? A2 Flyers is the third and final level of the series and is typically aimed at students aged between and 12 Instructions are simple and the content of the test consists only of the words and structures outlined in the A2 Flyers syllabus The official vocabulary list for A2 Flyers is included at the back of this guide, and the full syllabus can be found in the Cambridge English Qualifications Young Learner’s Handbook for Teachers The test has three papers: Paper Length Number of parts Number of items Listening Reading & Writing Speaking approx 25 minutes 40 minutes 7–9 minutes 25 43 plus one writing task – On pages 6–24, you will find further detailed information for each part of each paper, together with teaching tips and ideas to help you to prepare your child Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers Parent’s Guide © HarperCollins Publishers 2018 74887_Flyers_PG_P001-059.indd 4 13/12/17 3:32 pm How to use this guide and the practice tests This guide has been designed to give you a thorough introduction to the Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers test The guide accompanies the Collins practice tests book for Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers and includes for each of the three practice tests: ● audio scripts for Listening ● answer keys ● scripts for Speaking (also on the website, first without and then with student’s responses) The practice tests replicate the Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers test in terms of layout and content This guide also includes tips for your child on test day (see page 25) and vocabulary practice for you to with your child (see page 26), so that they feel fully prepared and confident on test day Here are some suggestions as to how you can use the practice test to help your child at home: ● Examine the structure of the papers Help your child to become familiar with the structure of each paper, so that they don’t leave out a part by mistake – this is a common error in Part of the Reading & Writing paper, which is set on the back page of the test booklet ● Study the rubrics in each part The rubrics used in the practice tests are identical to those used in the test papers – if your child becomes familiar with the rubrics, then they won’t misinterpret instructions on test day and lose marks ● Create the exam experience You can get your child to these tests under timed exam conditions so that they get used to this feeling and are not nervous on test day ● Revise grammar and vocabulary The practice tests use a wide variety of grammatical structures and vocabulary from the A2 Flyers syllabus While the course book that you’re using is likely to deal with these language and topics separately, in these practice tests your child will find the language all mixed together as it will be in the test The practice tests give your child the opportunity to recycle and revise topic work that they have done in class in an authentic way Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers Parent’s Guide © HarperCollins Publishers 2018 74887_Flyers_PG_P001-059.indd 5 13/12/17 3:32 pm Guide to Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers Listening Summary Time: 25 minutes Number of questions: 25 Part Material Skills Desired outcome Picture, names and dialogue Text with missing words and dialogue Listening for names and descriptions Listening for names, spellings, numbers and other information Listening for detailed information Draw lines to match names to people in a picture Write words or numbers in gaps Two sets of pictures and dialogue Three-option multiplechoice pictures and dialogues Picture and dialogue Number of questions 5 Listening for specific information Match pictures with illustrated word or name by writing letters in boxes Tick boxes under correct pictures Listening for specific information Follow instructions to colour and write on a picture General tips for your child ● Listen carefully to the instructions ● Remember that you will hear an example once at the start of each part ● Stay calm – remember that each recording will be played twice, so you will have time to think about and check your answer before you write it ● You don’t have to spell the words perfectly if they are not spelt out for you in the recording ● Make sure you know the vocabulary, grammar and structures in the A2 Flyers syllabus, including the expressions you will hear in the recordings, such as Pardon? Sorry? Right Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers Parent’s Guide © HarperCollins Publishers 2018 74887_Flyers_PG_P001-059.indd 6 13/12/17 3:32 pm Listening Part Students look at a big picture showing people doing different things There are seven names above and below the picture Students listen to a dialogue between an adult and a child talking about the people in the picture Students draw lines between the names and the correct people in the picture There is one example This is what Part looks like In the test there are five more extracts from the dialogue about the people in the picture This is what you hear … Part Listen and look There is one example Girl: Uncle David, look at this picture of our picnic last weekend Wow, what a great picnic! Can you see Michael? There he is, next to the car Is he the boy in green and black striped shorts? Yes, that’s him He’s eating an apple Man: Girl: Man: Girl: Can you see the line? This is an example Now you listen and draw lines Tips for your child ● Look carefully at the picture before you listen to the dialogue You will need to focus on the differences between similar people and you should try to think about what sort of language might be used to describe them before you listen ● Be aware that the language of this part of the task will include descriptions of people’s clothes and physical appearance, as well as what they are doing ● Make sure that you draw neat, straight lines so that your answers are clear How to help your child at home ● Make sure that your child is familiar with the names listed in the A2 Flyers vocabulary list at the back of this guide ● Practice describing people as much as you can ● ● ● Describe people you see when you are out and about ● Cut out some pictures from magazines and get your child to describe them ● Describe a picture of someone to your child and ask them to draw the person Make sure that your child understands these common expressions from the recordings of this part of the test: ● Can you see ? ● Is he/she wearing a ? ● Who’s that boy/girl/man/woman? ● Yes, that’s him/her ● Which one’s he/she? ● ● Is he the boy/girl/man/woman in the ? No, I mean the boy/girl/man/woman who’s ? ● Who’s the boy/girl/man/woman who’s ? ● That’s Get your child to practise drawing lines accurately and neatly Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers Parent’s Guide © HarperCollins Publishers 2018 74887_Flyers_PG_P001-059.indd 7 13/12/17 3:32 pm Listening Part This is a note-taking exercise Students listen to a dialogue between two people, then write a word or number to fill the five gaps on a form or page of a notepad Students are not penalised for misspellings if the words are not spelt out in the recording There is one example This is what Part looks like In the test, there are three more gaps to fill and five more extracts from the dialogue to listen to This is what you hear … Part Listen and look There is one example Woman: Boy: Woman: Boy: Woman: Good morning, children I’m going to go somewhere very exciting next week Ask me some questions about what I’m going to do, then write down what I say OK, who wants to ask me something? I What’s your question, Alex? Where are you going to go, Miss Peter? I’m going to go to London, Alex Can you see the answer? Now you listen and write Tips for your child ● Look carefully at the gaps on the form or notepad before you listen to work out what sort of information will go there ● There will always be a word that will be spelt out – this is likely to the name of a person or place so try to work out which gap this is before you listen, so that you are prepared for it ● There is often a number question – try to work out which gap this is before you listen so that you are prepared when you hear it ● Make sure that you know your numbers and letters really well before you go into the test How to help your child at home ● Play vocabulary games (see pages 26–27) with types of words that your child might hear in this part of the test, e.g telephone numbers and addresses, opening and closing times, days of the week and forms of transport (see A2 Flyers vocabulary list at the back of this guide) ● Play spelling games, e.g hold up flashcards and ask your child to spell the word Focus on the double letter form where possible, e.g S-U-N-G-L-A-double-S-E-S ● Play number games, e.g Bingo! (see page 27) to provide your child with plenty of practice in listening to numbers Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers Parent’s Guide © HarperCollins Publishers 2018 74887_Flyers_PG_P001-059.indd 8 13/12/17 3:32 pm Listening Part There are two sets of pictures in Part On the left-hand page, there are six pictures of named people, things or places On the right-hand page, there are eight pictures with letters but no names or words Students listen to a dialogue, which is mainly led by one speaker They match the lettered pictures with the named pictures by writing letters in boxes on the left-hand page There is one example This is what Part looks like In the test, there are three more named items on the left-hand page and four more lettered items on the right-hand page There are another five extracts from the dialogue to listen to This is what you hear … Part Listen and look There is one example Michael has cleaned his bedroom and has found lots of things Where did he find each thing? Boy: Woman: Boy: Woman: Boy: Woman: Boy: Hey, Mum, I’ve cleaned my room Come and see how tidy it is! Well done Michael! Wow, it looks great in here I can see the floor again! Ha! Ha! Very funny, Mum! Look at all these things that I’ve found I haven’t seen them for a long time Here’s my camera Where did you find that? It was in my rucksack I took it with me when we went on the class visit to the castle last month and didn’t take it out when I got home Great, you can take it camping next weekend Oh yes! Can you see the letter “E”? Now you listen and write a letter in each box Tips for your child ● Read the sentence and the question at the beginning very carefully because the dialogue will be easier to understand if you understand the context ● Before you listen, look at the unnamed pictures on the right-hand page and think about or note down words to describe them This will help you to prepare for what you are about to hear ● Remember that the speakers will mention the two lettered items that are not used, so don’t think that simply because you heard the word that it must be the answer to that question Listen carefully to what the speaker says about each item How to help your child at home ● Play vocabulary games (see pages 26–27) with words from topics that your child might hear in this part of the test, e.g places, clothes, the home (see A2 Flyers vocabulary list at the back of this guide) ● Get hold of two sets of pictures – name one set (e.g a group of named children) and letter the other (e.g a set of lettered items of clothing) Get your child to write sentences linking one item from each set (e.g William bought some new shorts yesterday.) Then you make up some sentences and ask your child to match the items from what you’ve said Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers Parent’s Guide © HarperCollins Publishers 2018 74887_Flyers_PG_P001-059.indd 9 13/12/17 3:32 pm Listening Part Part contains five three-option multiple-choice questions with pictures Students listen to five connected dialogues – there is one question for each dialogue Students tick the correct picture There is one example This is what Part looks like In the test, there are four more questions like these and five more extracts from the dialogue to listen to This is what you hear … Part Listen and look There is one example Where does Katy want to go? Girl: Man: Girl: Man: Dad, can I go to the beach with Sarah today? Well, I need to go to the supermarket and didn’t you want to go to the library later? Oh Dad, I don’t want to go to the library Please can I go to the beach? Oh, OK! Can you see the tick? Now you listen and tick the box Tips for your child ● Before you listen, read all the questions and look at all the pictures carefully Think about or note down words that you might use to describe these pictures – sometimes you’ll just see a thing and sometimes it will be a person doing something ● All the items are usually mentioned in each dialogue so don’t write down the first one you hear ● The correct answer may come at any point in the dialogue so don’t necessarily tick the one that you hear last How to help your child at home ● Play vocabulary games (see pages 26–27) with words from topics that your child might hear in this part of the test, e.g the time, weather, food, prepositions, clothes, the home (see A2 Flyers vocabulary list at the back of this guide) ● Get your child to draw three slightly different pictures Then describe what is happening in one of the pictures and your child must guess which one you are referring to Cambridge English Qualifications A2 Flyers Parent’s Guide © HarperCollins Publishers 2018 74887_Flyers_PG_P001-059.indd 10 10 13/12/17 3:32 pm Test 3: Scripts for Speaking Speaking Parts 1–5 Track 20 [This is the recording without student’s answers This recording includes pauses so that your child can practise taking part in the Speaking Test Sometimes, you might need to pause the track for longer, to give your child time to respond.] Track 21 [This is the recording with student’s answers.] Part To To say [The usher brings the student in.] [The usher to the examiner: Hello, this is (student’s name).] Student’s response Back-up (variations possible) questions Hello (student’s name), my name’s (examiner’s name) Hello What’s your surname?
