DELTA Module 2 helps you to develop your professional practice as a teacher by focussing on:
• Working with language learners in a variety of contexts
• Preparing for teaching
• Evaluating and selecting resources for teaching
• Evaluating your lesson planning and lesson delivery
• Observation and evaluation of other teachers’ lessons
• Ongoing professional development
DELTA Module 2 is a programme designed by you and your personal tutor. As part of the course you will need to complete 5 assignments (essay + lesson) and a diagnostic lesson. Given the background work around each lesson, it is important that you space out lessons sensibly, so that you can devote enough time to each of them. This also allows you time for reflection and further development. You will need to put together a work plan at the beginning of the course.
Depending on your teaching situation you have the option of taking the course over 16 weeks or 36 weeks.
All NILE's DELTA candidates have access to a range of ebooks by Cambridge University Press & Assessment and Macmillan Education relevant to the DELTA modules, at no extra cost.
