Delta Module Three

Cambridge University Blended

Module Three

Delta Module Three is a blended course designed to fit around work commitments, combining independent research with one-to-one tutorials. Participants create a specialised course plan based on their chosen ELT focus, supported by tutor feedback and guided tasks.

1. Five-Part Assignment

The extended assignment consists of five sections: Introduction, Needs Analysis, Course Plan, Assessment, and Conclusion. Each section is designed to deepen your expertise in your chosen ELT specialism.

2. Guided Tutorials

Throughout the course, participants receive five 30-minute one-to-one tutorials with a Delta-qualified tutor. Each tutorial focuses on a specific section of the assignment, providing tailored guidance and feedback.

3. Flexible Delivery Options

Choose between an online self-paced option or a face-to-face course at our London centre. The online course offers the flexibility to study around other commitments, while the face-to-face option provides a more immersive learning experience.

The Overview

Delta Module Three is the most specialised of the three Cambridge English Language Assessment Delta modules and the most closely aligned with your individual career development goals. You will become more familiar with teaching and planning considerations specific to your chosen specialism, as well as the core areas of needs analysis, syllabus design, course planning, and assessment.

This module allows you to focus on a specific area within English Language Teaching (ELT), such as business English, exam preparation, young learners, or one-to-one classes. By examining current research and best practices, you will build a solid theoretical foundation to inform your course design. Through practical tasks, including learner profiling, needs analysis, and the development of assessment tools, you’ll create a 20-hour course plan tailored to your learners’ needs and aligned with the principles of effective syllabus design.

Testimonials

I would recommend the Blended Delta course at Teaching House. I started in early October and was finished in early June. It was intense, but do-able. The staff are really dedicated and extremely helpful. They want you to pass and will do their best to support you. I'm very appreciative to all of them for helping me along the way.

I recently completed and passed my DELTA Module 1 course. I am over the moon as this test has always been one of my fears and I had been putting it off for so long. The timing this year was perfect and I went for it, but first I needed help and that was where Teaching House came to my rescue. Helen, my tutor, was amazing and really helped me out. The course was structured very well and it helped to not cram everything but to really focus on each part of the module step by step. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only did I pass because of this course but also my teaching has skyrocketed and I feel I have grown so much more as a teacher.
