TKT exams: What are they?
Cambridge TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test) is a series of modular tests developed by Cambridge English Language Assessment to assess the knowledge of English language teachers about the theory and practice of English language teaching.
The TKT tests are designed for both experienced and novice teachers of English as a foreign or second language, and they assess the basic concepts and principles related to language teaching, including classroom management, lesson planning, assessment, and use of teaching resources.
There are three core modules of the TKT test, each of which covers a different area of teaching knowledge:
- TKT Module 1: Language and background to language learning and teaching
- TKT Module 2: Lesson planning and use of resources for language teaching
- TKT Module 3: Managing the teaching and learning process
Each module is a standalone test, and teachers can choose to take one or more modules based on their professional needs and interests. The TKT tests are internationally recognized and are taken by teachers in over 100 countries as a benchmark of their teaching knowledge and skills
TKT exams: Who are they for?
Cambridge TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test) is designed for English language teachers of all levels of experience who wish to improve their teaching skills and knowledge.
TKT is particularly relevant for those who are just starting out in their teaching career or who are working towards a formal qualification in teaching English as a foreign or second language. However, it can also be taken by experienced teachers who wish to refresh or update their knowledge of the principles of language teaching and learning.
TKT is suitable for teachers working in a range of contexts, including primary, secondary, and tertiary education, as well as adult education and language schools. It is also relevant for teachers who teach English to speakers of other languages in non-traditional settings, such as community centers, refugee centers, or prisons.
