What is TKT?
The Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) is a test from Cambridge ESOL about
teaching English to speakers of other languages. It aims to increase teachers'
confidence and enhance job prospects by focusing on the core teaching knowledge
needed by teachers of primary, secondary or adult learners, anywhere in the
world. This flexible and accessible award will help you to understand:
-
different methodologies for teaching
-
the 'language of teaching'
-
the ways in which resources can be used
-
the key aspects of lesson planning
-
classroom management methods for different needs.
After taking TKT, teachers who want to develop their knowledge further can
progress to Cambridge ESOL's well-established Teaching Awards, such as
ICELT
and
CELTA.
Who is TKT for?
TKT gives teachers a strong foundation in the core areas of teaching
knowledge needed in the English language teaching classroom. It is ideal for all
teachers, whatever their background and teaching experience, and is also
suitable for people who would like to teach English but do not yet have a
teaching position.
There are no formal entry requirements. However, anyone wishing to take TKT
is strongly advised to have at least an intermediate level of English — Level B1
of the Council
of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) —
e.g. PET, IELTS band score of 4.
What does TKT involve?
Most teachers are likely to follow a preparation course before taking the
test but you can also prepare yourself through your own reading and study, if
you prefer.
TKT has three core modules. These can be taken together in one exam session
or separately, in any order, over three sessions. Each module consists of a test
of 80 objective questions, lasting 80 minutes, which require you to select the
correct answer and mark this on a computerised answer sheet.
Module 1 — Language and background to language learning and teaching:
-
describing language and language skills
-
background to language learning
-
background to language teaching
Module 2 — Planning lessons and use of resources for language teaching:
Module 3 — Managing the teaching and learning process:
TKT uses an indicative glossary of english language teaching terminology that
is regularly reviewed and revised to ensure that all modules reflect continuing
developments in core area of teaching knowledge. The current glossary, released
in August 2009, can be downloaded from the link on this page.
Results
Results for TKT are described as being in one of four band scores, 1-4.
TKT band descriptors (PDF 17Kb)
This document outlines what each of the four band scores means in terms of
ability for each of the three core TKT modules.
There is no Pass/Fail. Every candidate receives a certificate for each module
taken.
TKT results are issued through centres approximately two weeks after receipt
of answer sheets by Cambridge ESOL.
Two optional modules of TKT are available - these can be added to the
three core modules above, or can each be taken completely independently
TKT: Content and Language Integrated Learning
TKT: Content and Language Integrated Learning tests a
candidate’s knowledge of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and
the practice of planning, teaching and assessing curriculum subjects taught in
English.
CLIL describes an evolving approach to teaching and learning where subjects
are taught and studied through the medium of a non-native language. In CLIL,
learning a curricular subject in a second, third or sometimes fourth language
involves best practice from a range of different educational contexts.
TKT: Knowledge About Language
English teachers need to be both linguistically aware and able to understand
the difficulties students may encounter in the language learning process. To
help meet this need, TKT: Knowledge About Language tests a
candidate’s knowledge of the language systems needed by teachers for planning
and teaching their lessons.
