Course Description
One of the best-known and most popular advanced TEFL/TESOL qualifications in the world, DELTA is a flexible way for experienced English language teachers to progress further in their careers.
DELTA is an internationally recognized qualification which can help you to:
- extend your knowledge and understanding of the principles and practice of English language teaching
- critically examine your current beliefs and practices as a teacher
- apply your new knowledge and understanding to your current teaching role
- extend your knowledge of English language teaching in contexts other than adult learners
- develop your career and apply for more senior roles.
If you have substantial experience of teaching English to speakers of other languages, and are ready to progress in your career, you need DELTA.
There are three DELTA modules:
Module One Understanding Language, Methodology and Resources for Teaching
Module Two Developing Professional Practice
Module Three Option 1: Extending Practice and ELT Specialism
Option 2: English Language Teaching Management
1. Module 1- Written examination
The written examination is externally set and marked.
2. Module 2- Coursework
There are five coursework assignments. Four of these are internally assessed; one is externally assessed. In addition there is overall external moderation of your coursework by Cambridge ESOL. All of the assignments integrate theory and practice.
3. Module 3- Extended assignment
The extended assignment is a case study. It is externally marked.
The DELTA course will cover Modules One and Two. Guidance will be given on setting up the Extended Assignment for Module Three towards the end of the course. Module Three may be taken by distance following completion of the first two modules.
The course is designed in two blocks:
Block 1 Face-to- face: Mon Jan 07 - Fri Feb 01 2013

However, please bear in mind that you will probably need to dedicate about 20 hours per week of study and assignment work during the interim period.
The written examination for Module 1 will be held at the centre at the beginning of June.
DELTA can be taken at any stage in a teacher's career. It is suitable for people already teaching English in a variety of contexts, e.g. adult, primary, or secondary teaching contexts, and is intended for an international audience of non-first language or first-language teachers of English.
