TKT YL Module
The YL Module in Brief
TKT YL module (Young Learners) is a test for teachers and assistants working with young learners in English. It checks understanding of how young learners learn and grow, along with skills in planning, teaching, and assessing their work. A young learner is a child between 6 to 12 years old, which covers the first six years of school. This age matters because most countries start school at 6, and by 12, children experience significant mental and emotional growth. This module tests:
Knowledge of young learners and principles of teaching English to young learners
Planning and preparing young learner lessons
Teaching young learners
Assessing young learner learning through classroom-based assessment
YL Module: Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some FAQ on YL Module with answers.
Would it be better to take TKT YL Module separately from core Modules?
You can take any number of modules in a single sitting, whether it’s one, two, or all core modules and/or specialist modules (provided that all the tests are available on the same day). However, please note that attempting several modules at once requires a significant amount of exam preparation. During the exam, it consumes a lot of energy and demands a higher level of concentration. For a beginner, it is recommended to take YL separately as it includes lot of content.
How much does it cost to do YL Module?
If you have chosen the self-study option, it will cost you only the exam fees. The exam fee varies from country to country, and there could be slight variations in the fee from center to center within the same country. However, at the end of the day, the self-study option will save you a considerable amount of money.
Should I do TKT YL Module before doing TKT CLIL Module?
All the TKT Modules are stand-alone, so you can start with any module first.
