TKT GLOSSARY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING (ELT) TERMINOLOGY
The words in this glossary are alphabetically arranged. Entries are potentially relevant to
all the TKT modules, both
core and specialist. Candidates preparing for specific modules should, therefore, ensure that
they are familiar with all
the terms in the glossary. Candidates for all modules are also expected to be familiar with the PET Vocabulary List.
The entries included in the TKT Glossary are not intended to provide an authoritative or exhaustive list of English-
language teaching terminology. This glossary has been compiled and reviewed by
a panel of English language
teaching experts and represents the teaching knowledge related to language, language
use and the background to
and practice of language teaching and learning as assessed in TKT.
Terms introduced with ► are for use in TKT: KAL exclusively.
A separate glossary is available for candidates preparing for TKT: CLIL.
