DELTA

Cambridge English DELTA                                                                               

The diploma offers candidates who have experience of teaching English to adult speakers of other languages the opportunity to:

• Extend your knowledge and understanding of the principles and practice of English language teaching.
• Critically examine your current beliefs and practices as a teacher.
• Apply your new knowledge and understanding to your current teaching role.
• Extend your knowledge of English language teaching in context other than adult learners.
• Develop your career and apply for more senior roles.

If you already have substantial experience of teaching English to speakers of other languages and want to take your career to the next level, then the Cambridge English Assessment DELTA (Diploma in English Language Teaching) is the qualification for you. The DELTA helps deepen your understanding of the principles and practice behind teaching English to adults or young learners, in preparation for more senior teaching positions.

The new DELTA modularised qualification extends your professional experience and enables you to demonstrate your teaching ability at a higher and even more effective level. Being modularised, it also offers a degree of flexibility in terms of the order you study the modules and the time frame you wish to work within.

Entry criteria

You need at least two years of post-CELTA teaching experience and to be at least 21 years old.
