Delta Module 2 FAQs

Can I do this module first?
No. Teaching House cannot accept candidates for Module 2 of the course until they have successfully completed Module One. Under special circumstances Teaching House will consider trainees doing Module One and Module Two simultaneously, though completing Module One before starting Module Two is advisable.

Do I need to be in New York for the Pre-Course Program?
No. The Pre-Course Program is a distance component which you can do from anywhere in the world. You will need to have a computer and access to the Internet to do this component.

How many levels of language class will I teach on the course.
You will teach a minimum of two different levels of language learners to ensure you cover a range of abilities.

What is the ‘externally assessed lesson’ and can I do it at Teaching House?
Each trainee must teach one lesson observed by an external Delta assessor who will be appointed by the University of Cambridge. The lesson will be one of the last lessons you teach during the five-week course, allowing trainees to complete all Module Two requirements during the course.

What is the workload during the course?
For the Pre-Course Program, we recommend trainees allocate about 15 hours each week for four weeks. Trainees should be able to complete the course part-time while continuing their teaching.

The five-week face-to-face course is full-time and the workload is similar to that on a full-time CELTA.

Can I miss a week of class?
No. Candidates must be available for the full combined 8 weeks. It is feasible to take individual days off where absolutely necessary. Please inform Teaching House during your application of any time that you might not be able to attend.
