What is the DELTA?
The Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults (DELTA) is an internationally recognised qualification awarded by the University of Cambridge (Cambridge ESOL) and is aimed at teachers who have at least two years? full-time experience of teaching English as a Foreign Language.
What is the new modular DELTA?
The contents of the new DELTA course (introduced in September 2008) are very similar to the original DELTA but Cambridge ESOL has divided the DELTA syllabus into three separate modules. Teachers no longer have to study for and pass the whole DELTA course in order to be awarded the diploma. Instead, teachers can choose how many and which modules they wish to study for. There is a separate diploma for each module. Teachers who want to study for all three modules can do so over a more extended period of time than before.Why should I do the DELTA?
You may be looking to further your career prospects. The DELTA is ideal if you want to extend your professional experience and accept new responsibilities as it not only demonstrates a commitment to the profession, but is also proof of your ability.Alternatively, you may just be looking for an opportunity to increase your understanding of the principles and practice of English language teaching to help improve your overall performance in the classroom.
