Delta Module One Reading List
Delta Module One Reading List
The reading list below is not exhaustive, nor is it intended to recommend any of the individual
titles listed. Instead it is a selection of titles on topics included on the Delta Module One
syllabus (e.g. grammar analysis). The reader should choose from the resources listed on a
particular topic rather than attempt to read them all. Cambridge English Language
Assessment is unable to give advice on which titles to select or on additional and alternative
titles.
For suggestions on preparation for the Module One written examination, please refer to the
Cambridge English Language Assessment Delta Handbook.
