INTRODUCTION
What is the Teaching Knowledge Test
(TKT)?

The Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) is a


test developed by Cambridge ESOL for
teachers of English to speakers of other
languages. TKT tests candidates’
knowledge of concepts related to
language, language use and the
background to and practice of language
teaching and learning.
It is not a test of the
practical skills teachers
need to use in their own
classrooms or of English
language proficiency.
TKT consists of three modules which
can be taken together, or separately,
in any order. The content of TKT is
tested by means of objective tasks,
such as matching and multiple choice.
The test for each module consists of
80 questions.
There are no entry requirements, such
as previous teaching experience
and/or teaching or language
qualifications, for TKT, but candidates
should have at least an intermediate
level of English.
What is the TKT Course?

The TKT Course has four main aims:

.To introduce readers to the concepts


and terms about teaching and learning
that are central to TKT, and to give
them opportunities to do exam
practice with TKT sample test tasks
and exam papers.
.To introduce readers to the
main current theories,
approaches and activities in
ELT (English Language
Teaching) and assess their
usefulness to the classroom.
To share with readers some of
the many resources available
to English language teachers.
.To provide materials and
activities that give teachers
opportunities for professional
development by exploring the
concepts which have been
introduced.
Who is the TKT Course written for?

The TKT Course is written for the


following readers:

Readers intending to take TKT. They


may be studying for it on a course, or
alone as self-access students.
Readers following introductory teacher
development courses in teaching
English, or retraining to become
English language teachers.

Readers working by themselves to


improve their knowledge of ELT.
Readers who have not started
teaching yet, and readers who
