How do the Cambridge TKT vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 41 Cambridge TKT terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the Cambridge TKT terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Cambridge English (Cambridge University Press & Assessment) content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
Is there a pass or fail on the Cambridge TKT?
No. TKT does not award a pass or fail. Performance is reported on a band scale from Band 1 to Band 4, where higher bands indicate more extensive knowledge of the module content. Each core module is reported separately, so you receive a band for each module you take.
What modules does the Cambridge TKT have?
TKT has three core modules: Module 1 (background to language learning and teaching), Module 2 (lesson planning and use of resources), and Module 3 (managing the teaching and learning process). Cambridge English also offers two specialist modules, TKT: CLIL and TKT: Young Learners. You can take any combination of modules in any order.
