Successful completion of the course leads to the internationally recognised Cambridge DELTA Module Two Certificate.

The course covers all of the topics in the DELTA Module Two syllabus, which can be found here.

DELTA Module Two is assessed continuously. This means that your final assessment is based on the assignments that you complete during the course and there is no final examination. The assignments are as follows:

  • a professional development assignment, which focuses on reflection and evaluation of your own lessons and also includes an experimental practice component to encourage you to try out new techniques and ideas
  • four language systems and skills assignments, each of which comprises an essay, a lesson plan, an observed lesson and a post-lesson self-evaluation; three of these assignments will be assessed by your tutors and one will be assessed by an external assessor.

The practical teaching assessment component (observed lessons) can be completed either with classes of students at ACE TEFL or with your own classes.

The tuition fee for this course is €1,550.

There is an additional Cambridge assessment fee of €170, payable a month before your external assessment.

For part-time courses, it is possible to pay in up to six instalments. You can pay your fees via bank trasfer, PayPal or with your credit/debit card.

Module Two Face to Face FAQs

Yes, you can. You can use the classes we have at ACE TEFL or a class that you normally teach as long as your class has five or more students and you are based in Athens.

Yes, you can. We have classes at two different levels (A2 and B2) that you can teach at ACE TEFL.

The course includes dedicated tutorials for each of the assessed assignments and lessons.

In addition, your tutor will give you feedback on drafts of the first two essays before you submit the final versions.

This is an advanced course intended for experienced teachers with some previous methodology training. Normally, we would expect that you already have the CELTA or an equivalent qualification, but we consider each applicant on the basis of their experience and knowledge. At any rate, acceptance on the course depends on successfully completing a pre-course task and an interview.

No. Each Module is assessed separately and at ACE TEFL we have made sure that the syllabus for each Module is covered fully, regardless of whether you have completed other DELTA Modules or not. In fact, most people begin their DELTA journey with Module Two.

Assessment is based on the assignments you complete during the course and is both internal and external. The assignments you need to complete are as follows:

  • A Professional Development Assignment, which requires you to monitor your own progress, identify your strengths and weaknesses and draw up an action plan for your own development at different stages of the course. This assignment includes a diagnostic lesson which you plan and teach at the beginning of the course and an experimental lesson that you teach in the second half of the course in which you try out a technique or approach you haven't used before.
  • Four Language Systems or Skills Assignments (LSAs), each of which consists of an essay, a lesson that you plan and teach and a reflection on that lesson, which you complete after you have taught it. One of the four LSAs should focus on receptive skills (listening or reading), one on productive skills (speaking or writing) and two assignments should focus on two of the language systems (grammar, lexis, phonology, discourse). You are free to choose which systems or skills the assignments will focus on as well as what topic each will explore and in what order you will do them. The first three LSAs will be assessed by your tutors, while the last one will be assessed by an external assessor.

To pass the course, you have to complete all assignments and pass at least one of the internal LSAs as well as the externally assessed LSA.

If you pass the internal assessment but fail the external assessment, you have the chance to re-do the external assessment twice within twelve months. You will, however, need to produce a completely new assignment. You only have to repeat the whole course if you do not manage to pass either of  the repeat external assessments.

You can defer the external assessment by up to six months after the end of the course, provided you have good reasons and you let us know in good time, i.e. before your external assessment has been scheduled.
