TKT GLOSSARY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING (ELT) TERMINOLOGY

The words in this glossary are in alphabetical order and are for all the TKT modules. Candidates preparing for any one module

should make sure that they are familiar with all the words and phrases in the glossary. Candidates for all modules are also

expected to be familiar with the Cambridge English: Preliminary (PET) Vocabulary List.

The words and phrases included in the TKT Glossary are not intended to provide a full or complete list of English language

teaching terminology. This glossary includes words and phrases for teaching knowledge connected to language, language use

and the background to and practice of language teaching and learning as assessed in TKT. Words which are in bold are explained in the glossary.

Terms included in the Appendix

Abbreviation noun

A short form of a word or phrase; e.g. in addresses, Rd is an abbreviation of Road. See contraction.

Abstract adjective

Connected to thoughts and ideas rather than real objects, situations or actions. A text can be abstract and we use abstract words

to express things like thoughts (e.g. believe), feelings (e.g. love) or ideas (e.g. beauty). Words for things that cannot be seen or

touched are abstract words. See concrete.

Academic adjective

Things which are connected with education or connected with studying in schools, colleges or universities. For example, in school,

maths is an academic subject; playing football is not.

Access verb, accessible adjective (material)

To be able to find and to use materials for lessons. For example, teachers can access materials such as games and songs from the

internet. Materi als which are easy to find and to use are accessible.

Accuracy noun

The ability to do something without making mistakes. Accuracy is the use of correct forms of grammar, vocabulary, spelling and

pronunciation. In an accuracy activity, teachers and learners usually focus on using and producing language correctly. See fluency.

Achievement noun, achieve verb, achievable adjective

Something you succeed in doing usually by making an effort; something done successfully, e.g. Sarah worked hard and passed her

exam. This was an achievement. Something which is achievable for learners is something they can succeed in.

Achievement test: see test.

Acknowledge verb

To show that you have seen or understood something, e.g. the teacher acknowledged the learner's answer by looking at him and

Acquire verb, acquisition noun (language acquisition)

To learn a language without studying it, just by hearing and/or reading it and then using it. This is the way people usually learn

their first language. See exposure, pick up (language).

Action rhyme noun

A classroom activity used mostly with young learners which includes words and sentences which end in the same sound. For
