Reading List for Delta Module One


General advice
A recommended starter selection of some key books is marked in orange highlight. If you have already
studied Delta Module One, you may well be familiar with some of these works. We recommend that you read
as much as you can both before and during the course. We are aware of the issues people can face in
sourcing and funding all the material and therefore, if you are limited by access or cost, we suggest you
invest in the core reading material to begin. However, it is clear that candidates who read extensively benefit
a great deal from this, so we suggest that you select further material from the remainder of the list as far as
possible, whether borrowing or buying. Please note that we are unable to provide detailed information about
sourcing books around the world and in specific countries/cities, much as we would like to. You need to
ensure that you can source the required materials before beginning the course. Prices are given as
guidance only to indicate how much the books cost when last checked online.

We recommend that you consider paying a temporary subscription to an online library such as Scribd
(http://www.scribd.com/) for the duration of your course. This is a relatively cheap option, paid monthly with a
free trial month, where you will be able to access a large number of the relevant books for your course in
digital format. This (and any similar sites you may know of) is probably the cheapest and most convenient
option.
It is also possible to buy books, including second hand copies, from Amazon (www.amazon.com there are
different sites depending on your location so check which base country you order from will be cheapest for
you). You could also try The Book Depository (http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/) which delivers to most
countries in the world and often has free delivery.

Reading advice
As mentioned already, the more widely you can read the better, so although core books are recommended
you will still need to build up your awareness of specific areas by choosing books on language systems
(discourse, grammar, lexis, phonology), skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) and other key topic areas
(such as testing, course design etc.). People often ask for recommendations about how to do this: as the
module is wide-ranging we suggest that you identify one or two books from each area rather than many
books in the same area. All those books suggested are useful, and as the core material has already been
identified, further decisions are your own to make. Please note that we are unable to discuss detailed
reading approaches or answer specific questions on the material you are reading until the course begins; at
this point your tutor will be pleased to answer questions and provide further guidance. Prior to this we feel
the best approach is for participants to read widely for the most solid grounding and to improve their general
understanding of different areas.
