TKT Glossary Terms – S
TKT Glossary Terms:
The ‘S’ Terms Navigator
This list includes all the TKT glossary terms of Core Modules 1,2, and 3 starting with ‘S‘. Terms are listed alphabetically, just like in the official TKT Glossary. Test your knowledge by trying to define the word when you see it, and by trying to identify the word when you see its definition. After studying a lesson, review all the terms and their explanations from that lesson. Creating flashcards will be helpful to recall the definitions of these terms.
Although these terms are specifically aimed at TKT, they are applicable for any other TESL/TEFL certification.
