Module 2: Lesson Planning and Use of Resources for Language Teaching – Focuses on the development of comprehensive lesson plans and effective use of educational resources.

Module 3: Managing the Teaching and Learning Process – Enhances skills in classroom management, creating a conducive and effective learning environment.

By integrating TKT preparation into our curriculum, we provide educators with a robust foundation in ESL teaching principles and practices. This structured approach not only prepares you for the TKT but also enriches your teaching capabilities, enabling you to deliver more engaging and effective lessons.
