Helping learners master articles (original) (raw)

This background essay for my Delta Module 2 LSA 1 (Systems) is devoted to helping learners deal with the English article. Grade: Merit (March 2018, The ELT Hub France, Strasbourg). Cambridge Delta Module 2 'focuses on developing awareness and expertise in the principles and professional practice of teaching English in a range of contexts'. In particular, working on Delta essays helps apply 'knowledge and understanding of factors affecting teaching to your practice', develop 'selection criteria to choose materials', expand your 'range of teaching and learning strategies which are appropriate to learners’ needs and context' and boost 'critical reflection skills to identify areas for ongoing professional development'.
