Delta Module Two

Cambridge University Blended

Module Two

Delta Module Two is structured to provide a blend of guided learning and hands-on practice, allowing participants to learn at their own pace while receiving constructive feedback from experienced tutors. The course consists of the following key components:

1. Observed Teaching Practice

Participants teach in real classrooms and receive immediate, personalised feedback on their performance. Each lesson observation is an opportunity to refine techniques and address specific teaching challenges.

2. Lesson Planning and Reflection

Teachers are guided on how to plan effective lessons tailored to different learning needs. After each session, they reflect on what worked well and areas for improvement.

3. Portfolio of Coursework

As part of the assessment, participants compile a portfolio showcasing their lesson plans, teaching reflections, and feedback. This portfolio serves as a record of progress and a demonstration of new competencies gained throughout the course.

The Overview

Delta Module Two is the most practical of all three Cambridge English Language Assessment Delta modules and is arguably the one that provides the most tangible evidence of progress and professional development. This module focuses on developing advanced teaching skills that can be directly applied in the classroom, making it ideal for teachers who want to refine their practice and see immediate improvements in their teaching effectiveness.

Through a blend of observed teaching practice, personalised feedback, and structured reflection, Module Two equips educators with the tools to deliver engaging, well-planned lessons tailored to diverse learner needs. The course covers essential aspects of lesson planning, classroom management, and adapting materials for varied learning contexts, allowing teachers to enhance their confidence and competence in real-time settings.

Testimonials

Read personal accounts from alumni who have completed the Blended delta and have plenty of experience to share.
I took the Delta course at Teaching House in New York in 2014. Module 1&3 I completed on-line with a great support from my tutor Lizzy Adams. For Module 2, which includes input sessions, teaching practices, observations and writing assignments, I came to NYC. Overall, the module is structured similarly to Celta with a heavier workload and more opportunities to experiment (we had a chance to conduct unassessed lessons which were so much fun and always seemed to be better that assessed ones!) The most challenging aspect was completing the work in the time we had and we never had enough…

I started doing the modular Delta with Teaching House in 2015. Being able to take breaks between modules and doing some of it on-line was clearly what made it possible for me to take the most from the course. The platform Teaching House provides was really helpful and all my tutors were supportive, available and willing to do their best to help me learn, grow and, obviously, pass. I have a strong feeling that I wouldn’t pass anything if I had worked on my own…
