Page 49 A DETAILED LOOK AT THE TASKS
For BEC Vantage, candidates are required to produce two pieces of writing:
? an internal company communication; this means a piece of communication with a colleague or colleagues within the company on a business-related matter, and the delivery medium may be a note, message, memo or e-mail;
? and one of the following:
? a piece of business correspondence; this means correspondence with somebody outside the
company (e.g. a customer or supplier) on a business-related matter, and the delivery medium may be letter, fax or e-mail
? a report; this means the presentation of information in relation to a specific issue or events. The report will contain an introduction, main body of findings and conclusion; it is possible that the delivery medium may be a memo or an e-mail
? a proposal; this has a similar format to a report, but unlike the report, the focus of the proposal is on the future, with the main focus being on
recommendations for discussion; it is possible that the delivery medium may be a memo or an e-mail. Part One
In this part candidates are presented with the context in the task rubric. This explains the role the candidate must take in order to write a note, message, memo or e-mail of around 40 to 50 words using a written prompt. It also identifies who the message is to be written to. The prompt is included in the instructions, in the form of bullet points clearly stating the pieces of information that must be incorporated into the answer.
Where the delivery medium specified for a Part One answer is a memo or an e-mail, candidates need not include to/ from/date/subject details. Part Two
In the second Writing task, candidates are required to write 120 to 140 words in the form of business correspondence, a short report or proposal. There is an explanation of the task and one or more texts as input material. These texts may contain visual or graphic material and have ‘handwritten’ notes on them.
There is no significant difference between the format required for proposals and reports. At this level, reports must be clearly organised and should not contain letter features. There is no particular requirement to provide subheadings, particularly given the length of the report.
Where the delivery medium specified for a Part Two answer is a letter, candidates need not include postal addresses in their answer. Similarly, where the delivery medium specified is a fax, candidates need not include ‘fax header’ details, and where the delivery medium specified is a memo or an e-mail, candidates need not include to/from/date/subject details.
Accuracy and Appropriacy in Faxes and e-mails Please see page 11.
Preparing for the Writing Questions
The preparation activities outlined for BEC Preliminary candidates would be equally valuable at this level.

It is important that students know how to reformulate the comments, incorporating some of their own vocabulary and structures into their work. Whilst at BEC Preliminary level the emphasis is on the accurate reporting of facts, at this level much more is expected in terms of register, cohesion and the range of structures and language used.
For the BEC Vantage Writing component, candidates write their answers in pen in their question paper booklet.
