A Smiling Celta Student With A Book

DELTA is an advanced course for experienced English teachers who have at least one year of teaching experience. DELTA stands for Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

It consists of 3 modules, each one focuses on a specific aspect of professional English teaching.
Module One gives you an introduction to the teaching world through its strategies, methods, basic concepts, and other theoretical parts. Module Two moves you to the practical part of the teaching process. And then Module Three in which you choose between two options, whether you deepen your language knowledge for a specialist area you like or you choose to develop more professional skills for management areas.
You’ll find out more about these modules in the description below.

The first module’s title is “Understanding Language, Methodology, and Resources for Teaching”, which focuses on the theoretical part of the teaching process.
At this point, you’ll learn the terminologies used in English language teaching (ELT) and learn how to evaluate current and historical approaches and methodologies in it.
In addition to that, you’ll reinforce your language awareness and start analyzing it more professionally.

The second module focuses on “Developing Professional Practice”. This module is all about teaching practice. That’s why it’s preferred to take Module One before this module so you can understand the basics and implement them in this practice. You’ll also dive into the language systems and skills and learn how to apply them in real-life classrooms.

The third module has two options.
The first one is to know how to design a syllabus, plan and assess a particular specialism that you choose (such as Business English (BE), English for Academic purposes, teaching multilingual classes, and other specialisms).

The second option is to understand and prepare for the desired management specialism, Which is often called English Language Teaching Management (ELTM). This option focuses on other specialisms such as Academic Management, Human Resource Management (HRM), Customer service, and Marketing.

Do I have to take DELTA modules in order?

You can take them in order or do every module separately, but it’s preferred for you to take Module One first as it introduces you to the theoretical parts that will guide you throughout the journey.
