    4. Piloting

    5. What were we looking forward to?

    6. What is special about the book? Authors All three authors of The TKT Course have been closely involved in the development of the TKT with Cambridge ESOL. Content (sound theory + practical advice + TKT practice) CUP is renowned for the Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers series (over 40 books!) which offers endless practical ideas and activities as well as the insight into current thinking about ELT. The learning materials exemplify the cutting edge of the ET methodology.+ CUP exams a team of writers who share a wealth of experience in teacher training and materials writing. All the three modules are covered a team of writers who share a wealth of experience in teacher training and materials writing. All the three modules are covered

    7. Let’s look at the book from four different perspectives: Teacher’s Teacher trainer’s Student’s TKT candidate’s

    8. Teacher’s perspective How to choose a good textbook or prep materials or how to adapt materials I use foreign textbooks and feel that I need more information about the new trends in methodology: TPR? TBL? Learning styles and strategies Need to prepare a demo lesson or a paper for a seminar-how to do it most effectively?

    9. How to tailor the materials

    10. TPR Total Physical Response

    11. Teacher trainer’s perspective Where can I look for reliable book on methodology theory in a nutshell? What approach should I use while teaching for the exam: inductive or deductive?

    12. Inductive approach. The authors carefully explain the purpose of each section and give their suggestions for use. Each Unit has Starter question and answer (Purpose: to provide a definition of the key terms in the title of the unit. Suggestions: try to answer the question before the reading ) Key concepts

    13. Testing and assessment Unit 17 What are the assessment types and tasks? List all the reasons you can think of for assessing learners

    14. Each Unit has Starter question and answer Key concepts Key concepts and the language teaching class Follow-up activities Reflection Discover activities TKT Practice task

    15. Follow-up

    16. Student’s or novice teacher’s perspective How to plan an effective lesson? Where to look for extra information? Who can help me?!!!

    17. Planning a lesson as part of the whole Topic Main aim (????- ??????????? ?????????) + Homework Subsidiary aims Materials/teaching aids/resources Procedures (tasks, activities to meet the goal and objectives) Evaluation (after the class: have the goals been met, what was good /wrong, why …)

    18. Aims: main and subsidiary Main aim: To practise making polite requests in the context of making holiday arrangements e.g. “Could you give me some information about hotels?” Subsidiary aims Grammar: revise modal verbs Vocabulary: consolidate lexis for travel, accommodation Phonology: focus on intonation Speaking: give controlled oral practice

    19. Aims should not be too general: “to teach the past simple “ To introduce and practise the past simple for talking about personal experiences ”to develop learners’ reading skills” To give students practice in predicting content, scanning for specific information and guessing meaning from the context

    20. TKT Glossary Context? The situation in which language is used or processed in class The words or phrases before or after a word which help a student to understand that word. Contextualise To put new language into a situation that shows what it means Eg “The music in the disco was very loud.” All the terms are shown in bold, explained and you can easily trace them though the book to see the integrative character of the exam. You learn them in different contexts All the terms are shown in bold, explained and you can easily trace them though the book to see the integrative character of the exam. You learn them in different contexts

    21. TKT candidate’s perspective Each module is divided into the units, covering the contents of the TKT specifications Discovery activities- to find out more about the key concepts, to experiment with them in the classroom and to assess their usefulness Reflection TKT tasks and activities TKT Practice tests Answer keys Exam tips
