OUR TKT APPROACH
Cambridge TKT preparation at C2 English School goes beyond memorising terminology. We connect the Teaching Knowledge Test syllabus to real classroom decisions, with individual and small-group preparation online or in Ireland.
Explore language systems, learning processes, lesson aims and teaching methodology in your chosen TKT modules.
Example: Distinguish a lesson aim from a classroom activity.Consider authentic teaching situations and evaluate how activities, resources and interaction patterns support learning.
Example: Decide when to move from controlled to freer practice.Practise TKT-style multiple-choice questions, develop accurate terminology and understand why one answer is more appropriate than another.
Example: Explain your choice rather than memorising an answer.Identify gaps in your teaching knowledge and relate new ideas to your learners, subject and classroom context.
Example: Adapt an activity for a different age group or level.INSIDE THE TKT CLASSROOM · INTERACTIVE EXAMPLE
