Cambridge ESOL teaching awards
-*- DELTA -*-

Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) offers the world's leading range of certificates for both learners and teachers of English.  A Cambridge ESOL certificate can help you gain entrance to college or university, improve your prospects at work, or simply provide a measure of your progress in English.  It operates in a hundred and thirty five countries worldwide and each year over one and three quarter million people attempt to gain a Cambridge ESOL qualification.

Cambridge ESOL is part of Cambridge Assessment, formerly known as UCLES (University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate), a non-teaching department of the University of Cambridge, England.  Cambridge Assessment is Europe's largest assessment agency and one of the largest internationally recognised assessment agencies in the world.  A not-for-profit organisation, Cambridge Assessment celebrated it's one hundred and fiftieth anniversary in 2008.

TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) are umbrella terms for all the various English language teaching awards available worldwide.  As such, all Cambridge ESOL teaching awards are 'TEFL courses' (or 'TESOL courses').

N.B. Course fees quoted below do not include the Cambridge examination fee which should be paid separately when you register for the assessed component of each DELTA Module.

DELTA (Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults) is an advanced teaching qualification for experienced teachers.

The Cambridge ESOL DELTA teaching award is now in a new modular format that makes it more convenient for working teachers.

The modular DELTA consists of three modules, each of which links into and supports the others. In theory, the modules can be done in any order but in practice it's best to do them in the order they're presented below, i.e., Module 1, then Module 2, then Module 3.

Computer use & Internet access

We make significant use of a browser-based course management software package called 'Moodle' (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) which serves primarily as a means of distributing and collecting documents (written assignments, lesson plans e.t.c.)  If your course includes 'a Moodle component' (which all of our CELTA courses and most of our DELTA courses do), you will be provided with a Moodle enrolment key (once we have received your deposit payment) and you will be expected to upload and download course-related documents using Moodle from then on.  Regular Internet access throughout the duration of your course (and in some cases before your course begins) is therefore a must.

We maintain a number of desktop PCs at the school which you can use but demand for these PCs can sometimes outstrip supply.  We therefore recommend that you bring your own laptop if you have one.  You will find it very useful.  Wireless Internet access is freely available.

DELTA Module 1 - Understanding Language, Methodology and Resources

We offer both full and part time DELTA Module 1 courses at certain times throughout the year (priced at £400.00), and in addition, an entirely on-line DELTA Module 1 course, available on demand (and priced at £250).

Your performance in Module 1 is assessed by examination. The exam consists of two papers of 90 minutes each with a 30 minute break between them.

Components of DELTA Module 1

On-line group projects
Once you have been accepted for the course and we have received your deposit payment you will be sent a set of login details and directed to our on-line 'Module 1 Study Room' where the on-line group projects will take place.
Directed study
Part-time attendees will be expected to do between 10 and 15 hours of directed study each week. Time spent collaborating on online group projects is part of the directed study requirement but not all of it.

Application procedure

Applicants must observe the following application procedure:

  1. Please read the application form completion notes and then complete the online application form  including the written assignment.  On receipt of a fully completed application form we will contact you to arrange a date for your interview.
  2. Face to face interviews may be conducted individually or as part of a group, and you should allow two hours for the process. Telephone interviews are approximately 45 mins long.  N.B. Telephone interviews are only for people who don't live in or around Istanbul.
  3. Face-to-face interviewees will be sent a number of interview preparation tasks on various aspects of the English language and language teaching methodology. These should be completed and returned to the school by email at least one full day before the interview date.
  4. Telephone interviewees will be sent the same set of interview preparation tasks as face-to-face interviewees, plus another set of tasks that face-to-face interviewees complete at the school on the day of their interview. This second set of tasks must be hand written and faxed (or scanned and emailed) to the school at least one full day before the telephone interview is scheduled to begin.
  5. The aim of these tasks is to help us assess your suitability for the course, as well as your ability to develop an awareness of language.
  6. If successful you will be offered a place on the next available course and asked to pay a non-refundable £200 (GBP) deposit to secure your place on that course.  Payment may be in cash, by cheque, or via electronic transfer, e.g., internet banking.  Bank account details are available upon request.  See the contact page for details of our postal address (for cheque payments).
