Cambridge Teaching Knowledge Test


Wimbledon School of English





Description


This new course prepares you for the Cambridge Teaching Knowledge Test - the new test from the University of Cambridge designed especially for teachers of English to speakers of other languages. The course concentrates on the study of "teaching knowledge" - it is not a practical course and so there is no actual teaching involved, although course participants will have the opportunity to observe Wimbledon School of English teachers. It is ideal for those who have recently started teaching or are considering it as a career, but it is also useful for experienced teachers. The course covers a variety of concepts related to language, language use and the background to, and practice of, language learning and teaching. It is divided into three modules. There is a written examination at the end of each module. You will also be asked to keep a portfolio during your course but this does not form part of your assessment.
