Module Two Assessment
Module Two is assessed via a portfolio of coursework, including background essays, observed lessons, and a professional development assignment. One assignment, which includes a background essay, an observed lesson and a lesson evaluation, is externally assessed.
Participation in a DELTA Module Two course at an approved Cambridge English centre is required for assessment.
- Internal assessment:
- Coursework record:
- The coursework grade:
- External assessment:
Three of the Language Systems/Skills Assignments are evaluated internally by DELTA course tutors at the centre, with separate grades given for the background essay and the lesson for each assignment.
The Professional Development Assignment (PDA) is also assessed internally.
Throughout the course, tutors document all internal coursework in the Coursework Record (DELTA 5c) for each candidate. At the end of the course, tutors compile a report summarising the candidate’s progress and provide a recommended overall grade for the internal coursework.
The coursework grade reflects the overall standard achieved by the end of the course. It should align with the comments in the coursework report and the feedback and grades provided for the internally assessed Language Systems and Skills Assignments.
One of the Language Systems or Skills Assignments, consisting of a background essay and a lesson, is evaluated by an external assessor approved by Cambridge English. The assessment includes the candidate’s evaluation of the lesson, which must be submitted to the assessor by the centre within 48 hours of the external evaluation.
The assessor completes an assessment form (DELTA 5a), providing grades for the background essay, lesson, and evaluation. The essay and lesson plan accompany the form upon submission.
