This is an excellent introduction to the TKT. One detail to update is that the time for each module is 80 minutes, not 120 as you mentioned. Thank you for the information!
I love how clear your explanation is! As I see, there are only two TKT tests: CLIL and YL, so I'd like to know if the TKT proves my knowledge of teaching English to adults (students older than 20 years old)
There are actually 3 types of TKTs: 1) 3 core modules 2) TKT CLIL 3) TKT YL As you mentioned, the TKT CLIL and YL test the teacher's knowledge in relation to teaching Kids and Teens. However, the 3 core modules test your overall knowledge in relation to Knowledge about the language, methodology, and lesson planning. So, if you would like a certification to show that you know how to teach adults, there are two options: 1) The CELTA Course. 2) The TKT Modules 1, 2, and 3. I posted a video about the differences, take a look: th-cam.com/video/WlCHyJAGs2A/w-d-xo.html Basically, the CELTA is a course that will teach you a methodology to teach adults (4-week course) and then you get a certificate, and the TKT is divided into three tests (ignoring the YL and CLIL) to assess your knowledge about: TKT: Module 1 - Background to language teaching TKT: Module 2 - Planning for language teaching TKT: Module 3 - Classroom management So if you take either the CELTA or the TKT they will show that you know how to teach adults. It's good to know which one is more relevant in your region :)
I took TKT module one some years ago. Band 4. I found it very easy I never found a job opportunities with TKT, and I'm Willing to travel, so I didn't take module 2-3. Tkt is good for personal development, but I won't suggest it to anybody who want to be a teacher
I have some questions right here. 1. Which one do I need to take: TKT 3 modules or the two specialists CLIL, YL to get more job opportunities? 2. Can I go straight to taking TKT:CLIL or TKT:CL without taking TKT: 3 modules?
Thurein, let me see if I can help you... 1) It really depends on your main goal. Where do you want to work? Do you want to work as an English Teacher in a regular school? Do you want to teach teens or kids? If you plan to work with kids, the TKT:YL is a good choice. The TKT: CLIL is also good for regular schools, but it's focused on CLIL lessons. However, if you want to stick with the 3 core modules, without the TKT: CLIL or TKT: YL, they are a good choice as well. You won't miss job opportunities for that. The more certificates, the more chances. 2) Yes, you can. But, make sure you watch the TKT: YL (th-cam.com/video/sMvcQQjtcrc/w-d-xo.html) and the TKT: CLIL (th-cam.com/video/JLdljpkc-J8/w-d-xo.html) videos to check the differences.
Tomaré mi examen TKT el 18 de diciembre y me siento muy nervioso, ya realice el curso, pero siento que la forma en la que nos lo enseñaron no fue la mejor, ahora me siento muy ansioso.
@@ExamSeekers omg, it's true, I must have thought about that, where I can find the mock test of the three modules? I will take all three on the same day. Thank you very very much, you save me.
@@raymundoperezdeleon1041 If you get the TKT Course book, you will get some sample tests. There are some mocks on the internet, have you tried Cambridge Website? Take a look here: www.cambridgeenglish.org/teaching-english/teaching-qualifications/tkt/prepare-for-tkt/ Also, if you put "TKT Mock" on google, you will certainly find more mocks! :) GOOD LUCK!
Thank you!!!! I do appreciate the compliment and the suggestion. About the suggestion, it is scheduled. I have some other videos with general information to make first before I dig into the topics more deeply. Meanwhile, you can find some more information about the TKT in my blog (exam-seekers.com/category/tkt). I hope you find useful information there.
I have passed my CELTA course and next month I will take the TKT test 🤣🤣🤣. The English center I'm working at now just offered me to take it next month.
So go for it! LOL I am just glad you were able to pass the CELTA, and I the luck in the world for your band 4 on the TKT! :) It seemed that the school I teach will also give us one of the TKTs, I'm glad :D
I have been teaching English, in my country, in an English Teaching Institution for 2 years. I want to learn skills to be a better teacher. Will the TKT help me with this?
As I mentioned in the video, the TKT is a test, so it basically assesses your knowledge in relation to English Language, Planning Lessons, and Managing the Learning Process. It won't give you skills, nor will improve them. What you can do is either take a TKT prep course or take the CELTA course. Watch the video in which I compare them both: th-cam.com/video/WlCHyJAGs2A/w-d-xo.html You can also watch the video in which I explain the CELTA Course (th-cam.com/video/AyGeOUcsEgE/w-d-xo.html). I'd like to know what you think about them, okay?
There is a Cambridge handbook: www.cambridgeenglish.org/images/tkt-handbook-modules-1-3.pdf This can guide you. But if you want the actual book in PDF form, I'd search "TKT PDF" on Google.
You made such a useful video about TKT. Btw, how about the TKT YL, Practical, KAL modules? Do we need to take all of them or the 3 main modules will do? Hope to hear from you
Sorry it took me a while to reply. Thank you. As I've mentioned in a video about the TKT, the TKT Kal and Practical don't exist anymore. You can be ok with the 3 core modules, but if you take the YL and CLIL they are nice extras.
My questions are 1) Can I choose the Module for examination like module 1 or 2 or 3 or YL ? 2) Or do I had to prepare all module for TKT? (P.S I am only interested in Module 2 & 3) 3) Does the exam fee affortable? Thank you for sharing, From Myanmar
Hello Ar Kar, answering your questions: If you are only interested in Modules 2 and 3, you can take the 2 and 3 only. You don't have to take them all. About being affordable, I'm not sure how much it is nowadays really, but it is the cheapest that Cambridge offer. :) Good luck!
Hi, Thank you for your clear explanation😊. I am from Azerbaijan and I have a question about TKT. Is TKT for just only English teacher? I am studying math teacher in english. Do I have to take TKT test in the future?
The TKT helps knowing teaching terminology. And it helps you to identify grammar points and other teaching aspect. I think it helps in whatever subject you are going to teach, but it's not mandatory if you are not teaching English.
Anyone can take this course ... anyone from any country. You just need to find a center to do so. And the price depends on the monetary system of each country. Check Cambridge website for the centers.
Hello I am about to take this test in Mexico feeling a little nervous I don’t know why I grew up in the USA . I sent 32 years over there should I be worried
Thank you for the video! May I ask you a question? Is TKT also useful for teaching STEM materials by non-native teachers or is it just for teaching English language?
The TKT teaches names of things. So studying for the TKT, you will learn about grammar, about the role of the student. Watch my video about TKT Grammar for you to have an idea about the questions for the tkt. I haven't seen anything about stem,though. Remember that the TKT is a test, not a course.
If you are in the US or in Brazil I put a link there for you to buys. But you can buy in any Amazon for instance. The TKT 3 Core modules work for the 3 core modules, and there is a TKT CLIL book as well. :)
Dear, I was a bit confused about your question. Can you reformulate it? If you want to know the next step after studying, search for a center to sit for the exam. They will guide you.
I'm looking for a job, with little success so far, and since I know English, I thought I could be an English tutor. I know nothing about teaching, that is my biggest fear to start going freelance, will the TKT allow me to start teaching?
The TKT, as I mentioned, is a test. It tests our knowledge. If you know some grammar, some nomenclature... It doesn't teach you HOW to teach. For this, I'd go for the CELTA COURSE.
Hi dear I'm new to know about this test. My question is if I'm a primary/ nursery school teacher do I need to do only YL? Does it contains separate questions? Or the modules
It is very similar to the others. I'd suggest you to go for the 3 modules first. They are very useful and interesting to study. And after you can take the YL. I have a colleague who actually only took the YL studying the tkt 3 core modules book. And she went well.
I really don't know any. What I can tell you is that I will be posting more videos about the TKT. Moreover, you can find some content here: exam-seekers.com/category/tkt/
I believe that the TKT course is something you do for yourself. You take the course to develop yourself as a teacher. It will eventually be useful for you to show off to students or to institutions if it ever comes.
Due to C0VID-19 currently results are released later than Cambridge standard results issue dates, which also impacts on when certificates are printed and despatched. This means that they are taking about 2-3 weeks to deliver results. If you are outside of Europe, your certificate may take 3 months to get to you.
Not exactly. There is only one for the TKT 3 core modules and one for the TKT CLIL. However, if you study using the TKT Core Modules you will be able to succeed in the TKT YL. I say this, because I have a friend who used the 3 core modules book to study and got a Band 4 in the TKT YL.
Hey Kids Club, where are you from? Maybe I could get you a link for the book depending on the place you are: amzn.to/3CyZEXL (the paperback book in the US)
It depends on the type of book you are looking for. If you want the TKT Course book, you will have to buy the hard copy, I don't think that there is an online version. There are, however, lots of mock tests on the web. Just search "TKT mock test" or "TKT sample" you will definitely find it. Cambridge offers some pdf files with samples as well.
