What CTET English asks
| Part | Topics |
|---|---|
| Comprehension | An unseen prose passage and a poem; questions on meaning, vocabulary and grammar from the passage |
| Pedagogy | How children learn language, the four skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), teaching grammar in context, assessment, remedial teaching, challenges of a multilingual classroom |
How to prepare
- Read one prose passage and one short poem daily and answer comprehension questions on them.
- Learn the pedagogy vocabulary — acquisition vs learning, the communicative approach, formative and summative assessment, scaffolding.
- Revise grammar basics; CTET asks them through the passage (identify the part of speech, the tense, the voice).
- Solve previous CTET language sections — the pedagogy questions repeat ideas year after year.
CTET English — questions students ask
Is there negative marking in CTET?
No. CTET has no negative marking, so every question should be attempted.
Can I choose English as both Language I and Language II?
No. Language I and Language II must be different languages. English can be either one.
