Crest English School

I'd like to draw your attention to theirr wonderful Teachers' course for Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) and University Foundation Programme, which start in July.

TKT is a test from Cambridge ESOL about teaching English to speakers of other languages. It aims to increase teachers' confidence and enhance job prospects by focusing on the core teaching knowledge needed by teachers of primary, secondary or adult learners, anywhere in the world.

TKT gives teachers a strong foundation in the core areas of teaching knowledge needed in the English language-teaching classroom. It is ideal for all teachers, whatever their backgrounds and teaching experiences, and is also suitable for people who would like to teach English but do not yet have a teaching position.

POOR LISTENING

Although listening and speaking are the most widely used skills in the mother tongue, the same skills are generally restricted to the classroom activity in the foreign language learning process.

Besides, teachers expect skills to be transferred from the mother tongue and so get for granted that students are well trained in the art of listening. After all, they have listened to their language since they were born or even before.

Consequently, teachers believe the only reason why students have a poor performance in understanding what they listen in English is their limited knowledge of the foreign language and consider that they only need to study more and have more oral input.

That’s only part of the truth...If you want to read the whole article click here.
