The Overview
The online content is divided into ten sections. Each section consists of content and exam preparation components. The content is delivered in the form of interactive lessons, quizzes, questionnaires and peer discussion forums, with links to useful articles, books and outside sources to locate your online TH Blended Delta experience within the wider world of English language teaching (ELT). The topics develop logically, starting with the theoretical underpinnings of our profession, working through language systems, skills, methodology and analysis, finishing with contemporary issues in ELT like English as a Lingua Franca and Dogme.
The exam focus sections develop your exam technique so that by the time of the exam you are well acquainted with each exam task and its requirements and suggested timing. Taking one part of the exam at a time, we work through an example task bit by bit, highlighting the knowledge you need to activate and the strategies you can use to maximize your grade. After this guided task, there is a timed task, which you submit to your tutor for feedback. Your tutor is not only highly trained and experienced in Delta content but also well-versed in exam strategy and technique. They will be able to give you feedback on your task and also suggestions to improve your grade for next time. You can put these suggestions into practice again immediately with an extra self-study pack for each of the exam tasks to reinforce the strategies so you’re well-versed and confident by the time exam day rolls around. In addition to this, you are given feedback on a full mock test so that by the time you take the exam you will have done each task on each paper a minimum of four times, with plenty of additional self-study material available.
The TH Blended Delta Module 1 preparation course combines flexibility, collaboration, self-study and tutor support to enhance your knowledge of the ELT profession. You will also increase your skill as a teacher and open up a world of employment opportunities within the fields of English Language Teaching, Teacher Training and ELT Materials Development/publishing.
