  • Revising the A2 Key and B1 Preliminary Writing Exam
    Revising the A2 Key and B1 Preliminary Writing exam Anthi Panagiotopoulou Assessment, Cambridge Assessment English James Lambie Assessment, Cambridge Assessment English Kevin Y F Cheung Research and Thought Leadership, Cambridge Assessment English ©UCLES 2019 CAMBRIDGE ASSESSMENT ENGLISH – RESEARCH NOTES | 1 CONTENTS Introduction 3 Key: What has changed and why? 3 Preliminary: what has changed and why? 6 How were the changes received? 9 What is the expected impact on teaching 11 and learning? Conclusion 11 References 11 2 | CAMBRIDGE ASSESSMENT ENGLISH – RESEARCH NOTES ©UCLES 2019 Introduction The revised A2 Key, A2 Key for Schools, B1 Preliminary and B1 Preliminary for Schools will be introduced in 2020. 1 The major drivers behind changes to the assessment of writing for these Cambridge English Qualifications were to ensure the Writing test constructs remain fit for purpose, and to better support upward certification, which was introduced in 2011. In the pre-revision Key exam, writing was assessed as part of the Reading and Writing papers, and performance for these two skills was reported together. Candidates were asked to produce little of their own writing, both in Key and Key for Schools. The most noticeable change to how writing will be assessed post-revision is the reporting of Writing scores separately from scores for reading. For Preliminary, Reading and Writing will be separated into two distinct papers. Key will also report Reading and Writing scores separately, but will continue to combine the tasks in a single paper for practical purposes. This approach aligns Key and Preliminary more closely with other Cambridge English Qualifications, such as B2 First (Lim 2015), increases the proportion of testing that focuses on writing and provides more information about a candidate’s writing performance.
