Sample TKT Module 3 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your TKT Module 3 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which classroom function is the teacher mainly using when saying, 'Work in pairs and compare your answers'?
A.Checking meaning
B.Giving instructions
C.Correcting pronunciation
D.Giving delayed feedback
Explanation: The teacher is telling learners what to do and how to organise themselves, so the classroom function is giving instructions. In TKT Module 3, candidates need to identify common teacher functions and typical exponents.
2After giving instructions for a pair task, which question is an instruction checking question?
A.Does 'borrow' mean give or take for a short time?
B.How many questions do you ask your partner?
C.Is 'would' more polite than 'will' here?
D.What tense is used in the second sentence?
Explanation: An instruction checking question checks whether learners know what to do in the task. Asking how many questions they must ask checks the procedure, not the target language.
3A teacher asks, 'What is the opposite of expensive?' so learners produce the word 'cheap'. This is an example of
A.eliciting
B.drilling
C.summarising
D.grading
Explanation: Eliciting means drawing language or ideas from learners rather than simply telling them. Here the teacher uses a question to get learners to supply the target word.
4A learner cannot remember the word 'appointment', so the teacher says, 'It starts with /e/...' Which technique is the teacher using?
A.Prompting
B.Testing formally
C.Translating
D.Ignoring error
Explanation: A prompt gives learners a clue that helps them produce language themselves. The first sound is a common prompt because it supports recall without simply giving the whole answer.
5Which teacher instruction is best graded for a beginner class starting a matching activity?
A.Please implement the categorisation procedure independently before peer-verifying your selections.
B.Match the pictures and words. Work alone. You have three minutes.
C.Undertake a lexical mapping exercise and then engage in comparative analysis.
D.Would you mind autonomously determining the corresponding lexical items?
Explanation: Good graded teacher language is short, clear, and matched to learners' level. This instruction gives the task, interaction pattern, and time limit in simple language.
6When might brief use of learners' L1 be most appropriate in a TKT Module 3 classroom-management situation?
A.To replace every speaking task with translation
B.To explain a serious safety instruction quickly and accurately
C.To stop learners hearing any classroom English
D.To avoid planning clear English instructions
Explanation: Brief L1 use can be appropriate when clarity is urgent, such as safety, welfare, or essential administration. TKT expects candidates to judge appropriacy, not treat L1 as always right or always wrong.
7Which sequence is usually clearest for giving task instructions?
A.Start the task, then explain the aim, then hand out materials randomly
B.Get attention, give short steps, demonstrate, check instructions, then start
C.Let learners guess the task, then correct them after ten minutes
D.Give all possible rules at once while learners are talking
Explanation: Clear instruction sequencing normally starts with attention, moves through short staged instructions and a model, checks understanding, and only then begins the task. This reduces confusion and maximises time on task.
8A learner says, 'Could you say that again, please?' What is the learner's classroom-language function?
A.Asking for repetition
B.Giving a definition
C.Correcting a peer
D.Expressing disagreement
Explanation: The learner is asking the teacher or another speaker to repeat something. Recognising learner language functions helps teachers respond appropriately even when the language is simple.
9The learner sentence 'She go to school every day' is best categorised as which type of mistake?
A.Spelling
B.Subject-verb agreement
C.Wrong word order
D.Punctuation
Explanation: The third-person singular subject 'She' needs the verb form 'goes' in the present simple. TKT Module 3 includes categorising learner mistakes such as agreement, spelling, and wrong verb form.
10Which teacher question is a concept checking question for the present continuous sentence 'She is working now'?
A.Do you work alone or in pairs?
B.Is the action happening now or every day?
C.Can everyone see the board?
D.How many sentences do you write?
Explanation: A concept checking question checks learners' understanding of the meaning of target language. Asking whether the action is happening now checks the concept expressed by the present continuous.

TKT Module 3 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Learn the difference between CCQs and ICQs, then practise identifying which one a teacher is using in short classroom scenarios.
2Build a personal list of classroom functions and exponents: instructing, eliciting, prompting, nominating, checking, encouraging, correcting, and giving feedback.
3For learner language, separate communicative function from accuracy: an utterance can be inaccurate but still have a clear purpose.
4Compare immediate correction, delayed correction, self-correction, peer correction, recasts, and correction codes, and decide which fits accuracy or fluency aims.
5For classroom management questions, always ask what the activity aim is before choosing a grouping, feedback, timing, or intervention strategy.

What does TKT Module 3 test?

Module 3 tests knowledge of teachers' and learners' language in the classroom and classroom management. The handbook describes two equal sections: 40 questions on classroom language and 40 questions on classroom management.

Is TKT Module 3 pass or fail?

How much does TKT Module 3 cost?

The fee varies by authorised Cambridge English centre. Cambridge English regulations say centres give candidates exam dates, registration deadlines, and fees, and that fees may vary depending on local costs.

Do I need to take TKT Modules 1 and 2 before Module 3?

No. Cambridge says TKT modules can be taken in any order and in any combination. Many candidates still study the modules in order because Module 1 terminology and Module 2 planning concepts support Module 3 classroom decision-making.
