Toronto DELTA Course
A DELTA course in Toronto requires significant time and effort. Make the most of this investment by studying with us.
Delta at EC combines seminars and lectures with teaching practice. This will improve your understanding of the English language, as well as demonstrate the principles of effective second language English teaching.
There are three modules. Module One looks at the background to teaching and learning and is assessed with a written exam. Module Two explores professional practice and is assessed with a portfolio of teaching assignments. Module Three is a specialist extended assignment.
The written exam for Module One, held in June or December, comprises two papers of 1.5 hours each. You can take the exam here or another approved exam centre.
The Module Two course is a part-time course, conducted face-to-face over 17 weeks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (5:15 pm-8:30 pm and includes six Saturdays, 10 am-3 pm).
The Module Three course is a part-time mini-course, conducted face-to-face over two Saturdays, March 14th and 21st (10 am-3 pm) with follow up draft and consultation done via email.
