LSI Auckland ENGLISH FOR TEACHING (TKT) Course
The Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) is produced by Cambridge ESOL to prepare teachers to teach English to speakers of other languages. It aims to increase teachers' confidence and enhance job prospects by developing teaching knowledge needed by teachers of primary, secondary or adult learners, anywhere in the world. During the course you will focus on:
- different methodologies of teaching
- the 'language of teaching'
- finding, creating and effectively using resources
- the key aspects of effective lesson planning
- classroom management methods for different needs.
TKT gives teachers a strong foundation in the key 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 or qualification.
Anyone wishing to prepare for and take the TKT is strongly advised to have at least an intermediate level of English.
