Questions and answers
What should I consider when choosing a language school in Malta?
If you would like to improve your language skills during a language study trip to Malta, you have the opportunity to enrol in a suitable English course at many language schools on the island. However, to ensure that this language vacation is a success and that you can both improve your language skills and enjoy your free time, you should consider a few criteria when looking for a suitable language school. Below you will find a short list of the most important points that you should clarify for each school:
- Where exactly is the school located?
- How far is it from the beach and the city center?
- What types of accommodation are available? (Residence, host family, private apartment, hotel)
- How far is the accommodation from the school?
- How good are the transport links between the school and the accommodation?
- What meals will you receive?

What advantages does a language study trip to Malta offer me?
Malta is the only island in the Mediterranean where English is the official language. This means you don't have to travel to rainy England or take a 24-hour flight to New Zealand to learn English. You can complete your language study trip to Malta at a first-class language school and relax under the palm trees by the sea after class. This is the perfect way to combine learning with a vacation.
How are courses allocated in Malta?
There are a whole range of language schools in Malta that are equally suitable for beginners and advanced learners. Depending on your language level, you will be divided into different groups. This ensures that you are always with language students who have the same language skills as you and all have the same prerequisites. If you learn faster than the others during your language study trip in Malta or realize that you cannot keep up in the group, you usually have the option of being transferred to another course that is more suited to your level. However, please always clarify this with the school before booking so that this option is open to you. The language level is usually determined on site, but at some language schools it can also be determined using an online placement test before the start of your stay.
How do the individual language course models differ?
Depending on the school, you can choose from very different training models. There is not just one language course for your language study trip to Malta, but a whole range of different options to suit your needs. The individual types of English language courses differ mainly in the number of lessons per week, the content taught, the duration of the course, the class size and the target group. Each individual language school has its own regulations, so that no binding information can be given here about the individual courses and their criteria. However, there are usually the following types of course, which can look like this, for example:
- Standard course - 20 lessons/week of 45 min. each, max. 12 participants
- Intensive course - 30 lessons/week of 45 min. each, max. 12 participants
- English for Work - 30 lessons/week of 45 min. each, max. 12 participants
- Intensive course small group - 30 lessons/week of 45 min. each, max. 6 participants
