Introduction to TKT preparation
materials
These self-access materials will help you to prepare for the test by revising some of the knowledge tested
in TKT: Module 1 and by giving you practice in the types of questions you will answer in the test.
The materials are divided into three parts:
• Part 1: Describing language and language skills
• Part 2: Background to language learning
• Part 3: Background to language teaching.
These materials have been designed for self-study and should take approximately 6 hours in total. We
suggest that you work through the materials a little at a time. This will give you time to think about any
parts of the TKT: Module 1 test you need to do more work on, and time to think about your progress.
In each section of the materials you will complete tasks which will revise some of the content covered in
TKT: Module 1 and you will practise answering some questions. You can use the TKT Glossary to help you,
which can be found here:
www.cambridgeenglish.org/teaching-english/teaching-qualifications/tkt/prepare-for-tkt
Each time you finish a task or practice test questions you can check or compare your answers with those
in the answer keys at the end of each part.
In the test you will have an answer sheet. You can see an example of this in the TKT Handbook, which can
be found here:

Some tips for preparing for and taking the test 2
Here are some tips for taking the test – both the practice test and the real test:
1. I t is often calming to quickly look through the question paper to see which topics are in it. It is always
good to see something you feel confident about. If you see something you don’t feel as confident
about, you may want to make sure you do this at the start while you feel fresh. You can do the sections
in any order that suits you.
2. B
e sure to read the instructions carefully before you start each task. Be sure of what you are being
asked to do.
3. Read each question carefully.
4. R
ead all of the answers listed and think carefully about which answer to choose; don’t choose the first
possible one you see.
5. B
e careful not to word spot; that means choosing an answer because the same word appears in the
question and the answer.
6. M
ake sure you mark an answer for all of the questions. Don’t leave any answers blank. If you don’t
know an answer, guess. You might be lucky!
7. L eave some time for near the end of the test to go back to any questions you weren’t sure about. But
be careful not to change an answer just for the sake of it.
8. M
ake sure you mark your answer in the right place on the OMR (answer sheet). Many people leave
this until the end of the test but it is better to do it after each section or page. You won’t be allowed
extra time to transfer your answers in the test, so it’s a good idea to practise doing this.
9. F inally, enjoy showing what you know. If you have prepared well, this is your opportunity to
demonstrate your knowledge!
Good luck in the practice test, and when taking TKT: Module 1!
