In response to Re Robert de Beaugrande (Concerned Teacher)

The DELTA is just a joke, it is nothing more than for GW's without a degree to make themselves feel better and that they can "advance" in a career at a TC imho.

Except your opinion is wrong and you know nothing about what is involved in attaining a DELTA. Look it up before you make yourself look even more ignorant.

I certainly would not employ or want to work with anyone who had one. Instead, I insist that a Degree in an English related subject and a 4 week TEFL certificate and some teaching practice is good enough.

You wouldn't want to work with someone who had a minimum of two years classroom teaching experience before they were eligible to sit a year long course about language teaching, the culmination of which is attaining an MA in language teaching? No, I don't suppose you would want to employ or work with someone like that as they would show you up for the fraud you are within minutes.

If you think a 4 week TEFL is better than a DELTA, you really are an imbecile.

And I agree a degree is absolutely necessary. I have a first in English literature from Durham. What do you have?

As for the rest of your nonsense about my fictional jealousy or my knowledge of Spain, please do continue, it's your own time your wasting on complete fantasy. Perhaps you should write short stories, you clearly have the imagination required for fiction writing.
