Customer Feedback
The school seemd to be a high-quality establishment and the trainers, one in particular, were very good at their job.
The course was fun and I learned so much over the four weeks.

Course Description
DELTA courses are intended for participants with previous teaching experience and are designed to ensure a balance between the demands of practical application and the latest classroom management theory.
The DELTA course will bring your ELT skills and knowledge to the next recognised level. The course will enable you to acquire a deeper understanding of the principles and practice of ELT to adults, examine current best practice and apply new techniques to your teaching experience.
The course focuses on the following elements:
The background to teaching and learning English at adult level
Using and adapting resources and materials
Procedures and techniques for working in the classroom
Evaluation, monitoring and assessment
Language awareness
Professional development
In particular, your training will cover:
Teaching Practice: you will work in a teaching practice group of two or three with an experienced practice supervisor. Over the course, you will teach 10 hours, four of which are observed internally by your supervisor and assessed externally by UCLES. In addition, one hour is observed and assessed by the UCLES examiner.
Observations: you will observe and be observed by your colleagues and be encouraged to give feedback and guidance.
Input sessions: you will work with our team of teacher trainers to gain confidence in the latest ELT trends and theories. You will then apply this during your own teaching and exams.
Practical Assignment: you will undertake assignments that explore relationships between teaching practice and fundamental classroom principles.
Classroom Research: you will research areas of the DELTA syllabus and share your knowledge with other trainees.
Mock Exam: you will be set a practice examination and explore past exam questions throughout your training.
Exam Technique: you will be given detailed guidance on tips and strategies that you can use to help achieve your best examination results.
You will be supported throughout by professionally qualified trainers with senior ELT experience. In addition, you will also have access to library resources including professional books, publications, multimedia titles and Internet access. There will also be plenty of opportunity to discuss the latest ELT theories with like-minded colleagues from around the world.
DELTA Assessment
There are three components on which you will be assessed. These are:
Coursework: Includes both assessed and non-assessed work.
Extended Assignment: This is a case study of a learner. Supervised by Oxford House. Marked externally by UCLES.
Written Examination: This is set and marked externally by UCLES.

During the course there will be a careers input session giving advice about finding an appropriate first teaching position and subsequent development. Often we have a guest speaker who comes to talk about their company or college, their various locations and give some useful interview tips. Our tutors are always on hand to answer any questions you have, including advice on useful websites and the presentation of your C.V.
