What is a Delta?
The Delta (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is the highest level practical teaching qualification for English language teachers. It is an internationally-recognised, highly-respected qualification and considered a benchmark for quality.
The Delta combines theoretical understanding with practical application, encouraging you to reflect on your teaching experience, challenge perspectives, and apply new thinking in real-life contexts. Ultimately you will gain a robust and comprehensive understanding of English language teaching to improve your professional practice.
Ways to take Delta
This fully flexible programme allows you to study each module around your own commitments, and at your own pace. You can work through modules in any order, but we recommend you start with Module One as this is a natural starting point due to its theoretical content.
At Bell, you have the choice between taking taking face-to-face and distance learning modules (or a combination of both).
Pathway to A.R.U.
Complete your Delta qualification with Bell and get 60 credits towards an MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL with Anglia Ruskin University
Students who have successfully completed our Delta programme at Bell can proceed to A.R.U. to study their MA in Applied Lingustics and TESOL. Students taking this route will be awarded a 60 credits exemption on their MA programme, waiving the requirement to complete the ‘Materials and Course Design’, as well as the ‘Classroom Theory and Practice’ modules. This exemption will reduce the tuition fee for the full MA and may reduce the length of time needed to complete the degree. Contact us for more information.
