Course Description

The Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (DELTA) Module 2, accredited by Cambridge English, focuses on developing advanced teaching skills and deepening methodological expertise for experienced English language teachers. It is a practical and assessment-based module designed to enhance classroom performance, lesson planning, and reflective teaching practices.

Who is DELTA Module 2 for?

DELTA Module 2 is ideal for experienced English teachers seeking to refine their classroom skills, teachers looking for formal recognition of their advanced teaching competencies, educators who want to progress to academic leadership, teacher training, or syllabus design, and candidates who have completed DELTA Module 1 or have substantial teaching experience.

Course Objectives

The DELTA Module 2 course at Britishey Training Centre aims to develop advanced teaching skills to support effective classroom learning, enhance lesson planning abilities with clear learning objectives and student-centered techniques, improve classroom management through refined interaction strategies, deepen understanding of ELT theories and their practical application, and encourage self-reflection and continuous professional development.

Key Components of DELTA Module 2

The course is highly practical and consists of the following:

Teaching Practice (Observed Lessons)

Candidates teach four observed lessons assessed by Cambridge-approved trainers. These lessons cover different language skills and systems, are planned with detailed lesson rationales, and include self-evaluation and tutor feedback to enhance teaching.

Professional Development Assignment (PDA)

This is a self-reflective task where candidates identify areas for improvement in their teaching, develop an action plan for professional growth, and demonstrate continuous progress throughout the course.

Background Essays (Language & Skills Development)

Candidates submit two background essays that analyse language and skills teaching approaches, justify lesson choices using ELT methodology and research, and provide evidence-based improvements to teaching practice.

Experimental Practice Assignment

This assignment encourages teachers to explore new teaching techniques outside their comfort zone, implement and evaluate innovative classroom strategies, and reflect on learner outcomes and teacher effectiveness.

Final Assessed Lesson (LSA4 - External Assessment)

The fourth assessed lesson is observed and graded by a Cambridge external assessor. This lesson determines the final result of the module.

Assessment and Grading

• Pass with Distinction – Demonstrates exceptional teaching skills.

• Pass with Merit – Shows strong performance in teaching and lesson planning.

• Pass – Meets Cambridge’s professional teaching standards.
