DELTA

The new Cambridge DELTA at IH Barcelona

Since September 2008 the DELTA has been assessed slightly differently than before and there are some small syllabus changes in the assessed components.

Candidates may take one, two or all three of the assessed components: separate certification will be awarded for each. Candidates will no longer be required to enter for all three assessed components.

The components are as follows:

Module One

Understanding language, methodology and resources for teaching
This module is assessed by a written examination comprising two papers each of 1 hour 30 minutes in length.

Module Two

Developing professional practice
This module is assessed through a portfolio of course-based practical teaching and written assignments including one lesson and assignment which is externally assessed.

Module Three

Extending practice and ELT specialization
This module is assessed through an extended written research project. It is externally assessed.

 

Courses at International House Barcelona integrate Modules One and Two and prepare candidates for Module Three. Course participants are free to enter for assessment of whichever of the three components they choose whether this be all three or just one or two.

It is our view that professional practice is primarily developed (Module Two) through a growing understanding of language, methodology and resources (Module One). For this reason, Modules One and Two are integrated.

The syllabus for Module Three consists of areas which are essential to teaching in general and are therefore included throughout the course syllabus. However, specific guidance is given on the preparation of the Module Three extended assignment. Guidance and practice is also given in preparation for the written examination.
