Delta @ IH Izmir

Module Two: 6-week Intensive

The summer intensive course is ideal for teachers who want to immerse themselves in the Delta. It's full-time and challenging but brings with it huge rewards. 

Module 2, taken part-time, requires a lot of arranging and coordinating with tutors and assessors. With the summer intensive at International House, everything is done for you (except the teaching, of course).

The course runs for 6 weeks Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.

Module One: 2-week Intensive Preparation Course

The Module One course at IH Izmir will help you understand the format of the exam and what Cambridge is expecting from you. Working around the busy lives of teachers, the 2-week intensive runs in the evening. You will have plenty of opportunities to practise and get feedback on your performance to give you confidence to walk into the exam room in December.

Module 3 Part-time

The part-time Module 3 program gives you the knowledge and support you'll need to complete your assignment before the December submission. Working online with tutors who can read, comment and guide your assignment is essential for those wishing to get through the process as smoothly as possible.

 Chris Ożóg - Course Tutor

Chris is a teacher, teacher trainer and writer, originally from Scotland but now based in Japan. He’s been involved in English Language Teaching for long enough now to have white hairs appearing, usually working for International House, and is the current editor of the IH Journal. His work has taken all over the globe, from Costa Rica through Dubai to Macau, amongst other places, and he’s very much enjoyed almost every minute of it. He also tutors on online courses, writes occasionally for CUP, and keeps the world’s least updated ELT blog. You might occasionally see him presenting at a conference or giving the odd webinar, but you’re much more likely to find him in a café reading literature, history or ELT books. At present, his work involves mainly Delta and CELTA courses, which he enjoys for the chance to work with so many teachers and aspiring teachers from such diverse backgrounds.
