Customer Feedback
Very good, very great input sessions. A thoroughly rewarding experience!!!
-Philip Dickie-
Intensive, stressful at times, but very rewarding!
-Claire Stephenson-
The course was very intensive which I was fully aware of before I started. Even though the workload was heavy I found the course very stimulating and engaging. I enjoyed the teaching practice. Overall a very positive experience.
-Catherine Anderson-
The school and the quality of trainers were to the highest of standards. They always had time to help us trainees when we needed it. The course was intensive, as it suggests, and it did not let up for the four weeks. The amount of work was however worth it, as I learned a lot about how to teach EFL, and has given me a real enthusiasm to go out and find work within the TEFL industry.
-Matthew Todd-
Teaching was first class and the level of support was excellent. I enjoyed the whole course, well worth the cost!
-Sue Badger-
I thoroughly enjoyed the course it exceeded my expectations. The centre is very organised and the tutors are very well prepared. Thanks for everything.
-Adriana Collins-
Course Description
The TKT is a paper based Cambridge examination designed for non-native teachers of English. Our partner school can run the test throughout the year, as there are no set dates.
The Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) is a test from Cambridge ESOL. The priority is to enhance teachers' confidence and increase job prospects by focusing on the core teaching knowledge needed by teachers of learners of all ages, anywhere in the world. This flexible and accessible award will help you to understand:
� Various methodologies for teaching
� the 'language of teaching'
� different ways to use resources
� key aspects of lesson planning
� classroom management methods
After taking TKT, teachers who wish to further their knowledge can progress to other internationally recognised courses such as CELTA.
TKT gives teachers a good grounding in the core areas of knowledge needed in the TEFL classroom. It is ideal for all teachers, whatever their background and teaching experience, and is suitable for people who are looking for a career in TEFL.
There are no formal entry requirements. However, anyone who would like to take TKT is strongly advised to have at least an intermediate level of English.
The TKT has three core modules. These can be taken together in one exam session or separately, in any order, over three different sessions. Each module includes a test of 80 objective questions, lasting 80 minutes.
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:
� planning and preparing a lesson or sequence of lessons
� selection and use of resources and materials.
Module 3 � Managing the teaching and learning process:
� teachers' and learners' language in the classroom
� classroom management.
TKT is regularly reviewed and revised to ensure that all modules reflect continuing developments in the TEFL industry.
The cost for this is �250 per week which includes the course materials. This does not include the exam fee which is �20 per module. The exams will only run on request.
