 WHAT IS THE TKT?
Cambridge
ESOL has launched this new flexible and accessible
award focusing on the core teaching knowledge needed by teachers, whatever
their background and teaching experience. Directors of Studies throughout the
world are now viewing this as an important qualification and new teachers use
it as stepping stone to courses such as the CELTA, CTEFL or DELTA.
HOW CAN YOU PREPARE FOR THE
TKT?
CELT
Athens is offering a short 30-hour preparation course designed for those who
have already attended methodology courses and wish to prepare for the test. Teachers who have attended our own CTEFL
or IMC courses, or courses at other institutions,
are invited to visit our web page to be further informed about how they can
participate. Teachers who have not attended a methodology course can also
prepare through this course which covers the background to teaching, learning
and sound classroom practice, although Cambridge ESOL
recommends that they would also usually need to follow a methodology course
in order to prepare for the practice of teaching.

ASEP Examination
Results
We
are pleased to announce that 68% of our trainees of
ASEP
prep and CTEFL courses were appointed! 90% received
grades 80% and above in the methodology and pedagogy section! More than 50
candidates attended our courses in 2004 and more are expected in 2006. It was
a great pity that some really excellent results in the methodology and
pedagody Paper were marred by poorer results in the language section.
 NEW CAMBRIDGE DELTA COURSE
January 11 2006
The
start of a new DELTA course offered for working teachers with sessions once
per week for teachers who aim to sit for the examinations in December 2006.

some American ones, too!) begin to give DELTA holders credits - please find
out more at the Cambridge website. Click here.
