A flexible Cambridge qualification for new and developing teachers. Choose the modules you need and take the next step toward CELTA and DELTA.
The core modules are designed to provide a foundation in the principles and practice of English language teaching:
• 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
Teaching knowledge is assessed by means of objective-format tests, which are simple to administer and to take.
There are further specialist modules, which can be taken separately or added to the core modules:
• TKT: CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning)
• TKT: Young Learners (YL).
The aims of the modular format
The format is designed to be accessible and offer candidates maximum flexibility, and therefore does not include a compulsory course component. However, it is likely that centres and other institutions will wish to offer courses for TKT preparation.
What can successful candidates do with TKT?
TKT increases teachers’ confidence and enables them to progress to other Cambridge English teaching qualifications.
TKT is recognised as an English language teaching qualification by many organisations and institutions around the world.
