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
ESOL 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 ESOL Delta Handbook.
