TESOL&TKT Certifications

**中文全部都是我自己翻譯的.對於我從小學英文就是全美語的我有點困難.因為上課根本不可能講中文或用中文!!我的行業是”英語教學”跟筆譯口譯或去國外企業外派等等是截然不同的行業.現在朝向訓練師的方向走還有劍橋兒童英檢教學和監考的興趣走.所以翻譯或當英文秘書我沒興趣.因為他們不是在教學的工作.最終目的把台灣人的英文教的跟新加坡人一樣好~我現在的工作職稱叫做兒童英語教師與教師訓練師助理(English Teacher for young learners and Teacher Training Assistant)

我剛開始也是從英語教師”助理”爬到正式英語教師的(本人16.17歲的事).所以越上去的職務越不好爬因為訓練師是訓練老師的工作.更難從助理(本人19歲時)爬到正式的訓練師.不過以我的努力我想10內應該就可以了.當上了正式的訓練師再去做其他的更高階的工作.英文老師是最基層的職務!我也是進入到英語教學的這個行業才知道細節的.跟學校一樣有助教講師等等的職務.只是教育方向不同而已.有一個共同點.就是吸收知識與鼓勵學生學習是不變的!接下來是兩門證書的解釋如果我翻譯的很奇怪麻煩跟我說(因為我顯少翻譯):

.我去念的第一種證書~TESOL – Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages 教非英語為母語的學習人士英文(國際英語教學證書)

..我去念的第二種證書~The Cambridge University Teachers Knowledge Test (TKT) 劍橋大學英語教學知識考試

We are proud to announce that candidates for our TESOL course will also sit the new Cambridge University TKT exam, which will give them an internationally recognised certificate. The exam fee is included in the course fee. The TKT exams can be taken around the world and for the first time offers teachers an internationally recognised standard.
**我們非常驕傲的在我們學校上國際英語標教學的參與者也可以去參加英語教學知識考試同時這也是國際認可的證書考試.考試費用已經包括在學費裡了.這個考試可以在全世界參加考試當然也是國際認可的標準**

An Overview of TKT-英語教學知識考試背景

TKT tests professional knowledge about the teaching of English to speakers of other languages. It should be noted that TKT tests teaching knowledge rather than teaching ability and that language proficiency, e.g. listening, speaking and extended writing, are not tested.
**TKT是個專業的知識考試有關係於在教非英語系國家的學習者英文.這個考試不是在考老師的聽說讀寫等等的英文能力

TKT can be taken at any stage in a teacher’s career and offers candidates a step in their professional development and enables them to move on to higher-level teaching qualifications and access professional support materials such as journals about English language teaching (ELT).
**TKT考試也可以在老師的工作生涯提供專業的教學知識平台.讓老師可以往更高的教學文憑方向走.也可以得到更多的專業的教學教材就像英語語言教學

The TKT Exam format and syllabus areas 考試摘要與格式

TKT consists of three free-standing modules each testing different areas of teaching knowledge. -包括三種不同的型式每一種皆在考不同的教學知識

The three modules are: 這三種型式為:

**要念此課程的人必需要有國際英文考試-雅思學術組的5-6分的英文能力(滿分是9).或是劍橋國際英文能力考試中高級A或B水準.如果都沒有的話必須要通過國際托福考試或學校的入學考試達中高級的英文能力.方可申請此課程
