Complete CAE Extended wordlists
A more complete wordlist for each unit of Complete CAE can be found by clicking on the PDF files below. Each of these wordlists includes and then extends the vocabulary items found on the Photocopiable wordlists of the Complete CAE Teacher's Book.
We suggest that the best time to hand out these lists is towards the end of the unit, perhaps before doing the Speaking or the Writing sections. Students may use these lists for self-study and reinforcement of vocabulary encountered in the unit or in the recording scripts. Here are some suggestions for how students can use them which you can discuss with them.
- Students should use the reference given to find the items in the unit and study how the words/phrases are used in context. A student’s version of the recording scripts for each unit can be found in the resources section of the Complete CAE home page.
- They can use a learner's dictionary (such as the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) to compare the dictionary definitions with the definitions given in the wordlist. In many cases the definitions will coincide, but they will be able to study further examples in the dictionary.
- Students can annotate the wordlists themselves or copy items into their notebooks for further study.
- You can suggest to students that they should not try to memorise all the items, but they should select a number of words and phrases that seem most useful to them and try to use them when doing speaking and writing tasks (see 'Preparing for the Writing Paper' in the Student's Book page 165).
