💼 What the programme involves

BUSINESS ENGLISH

The Business English course has been created to improve the everyday spoken and written English of students and, above all, to encourage the development of business communication. This course includes: writing business letters such as information requests, orders, complaints, etc. You will be dealing with situations ranging from management to keeping co-workers entertained. The command of English on the telephone is also an important part of the course.

This course can be adapted to the students' needs. On the first day, the teacher will go through the students' expectations and will discuss with them if there is a particular topic they would like to address.

The aforementioned lessons are amongst the most popular lessons of the school. Indeed, thanks to their Business English skills, our experienced teachers offer a really engaging, fun and informative program.

You can choose between 20, 30 or 40 lessons per week. The option of combining this course with "Everyday English" lessons is also feasible. Here are the options:

Business Combi (30 lessons): 20 Everyday English lessons + 10 Business English lessons.
Business Combi (40 lessons): 30 Business English lesson + 10 Everyday English lessons.

Max. 6 students per group.

🏠 Accommodation on site

With a host family

You can decide to stay with a host family. Our accomodation team works hard to select host families that offer a clean, comfortable, welcoming and English-speaking home. All the host families are Malta Tourism Authority certified. Breakfast and dinner time gives you an unique opportunity to interact with your host family and to practice the English skills that you've acquired in class. You can choose between half board and full board housing, as well as a two person or three person room. If you decide to have your own room, you'll have to pay an extra charge.

In a student residence

You can also decide to stay in a student residence. Your room will be located in an (individual or shared) appartment within a 5 minutes walk from the school. An international atmosphere reigns in the residence as it is shared with other students, who can meet, exchange ideas and organize their own activities (outings, international cooking parties, etc.) Therefore, to stay in a student residence provides a good environment to practice your English even more. If you choose this housing option, you will be greeted at the airport and taken to your room where you will receive a welcome pack containing keys, maps of Malta and other useful items.

The students can decide to stay in a hotel if requested. The school will provide the necessary help to find the best options.

🍲 Food

If the student stays with a host family, criteria regarding diets could be taken into consideration (an additional fee is to be paid).

📍 About the location

The school is located in the city of Gzira, a short walk from the lively metropolitan area of Sliema, which is considered "the beating heart" of Malta. Sliema and Gzira are both Maltese coastal towns that face the capital city of the country; Valletta. Both towns are bustling areas where facilities are all within the inhabitants' grasp: restaurants, bars, stores, beaches, public transport, etc.

The school is ideally located if you wish to visit towns and neighbourhoods such as Sliema, Valletta and St Julian's. Malta being a relatively small island, it is quite easy to visit it entirely and to explore the Gozo and Comino islands by boat. Malta is renowned for its stunning beaches, unmissable touristic sites, affordable cost of living, numerous cultural events, and good weather (in Malta, the sun shines 300 days a year!)

🎒 Leisure activities

The school organizes many activities for students (two per day; one in the early afternoon and the other in the evening). Depending on the participants' age, groups and activities will be adapted.

You will be able to take part in cultural tours in museums, temples and churches. You will have the opportunity to enjoy cruises, outings, resting days at the beach, water sports, water parks, parties, and many more!

There is plenty to see and to do in Malta. You will also have the opportunity to discover the island thanks to the activities organized by the school or on your own. Here are a few concrete activity examples: 3 Cities & Temple Tour, Malta by Night Tour, Valletta Capital City Tour, Gozo Scenic Tour, Blue Lagoon Cruise, Grand Harbour Cruise, The best of Gozo & Comino tour, etc.

Each week, the school also organizes a welcome party to integrate newcomers and to introduce them to the other international students that are always pleased to welcome newly arrived students.

You will get the chance to go to the weekly English Café that is located in a beach club. It is a place where the island's international students from different schools meet, relax, and practice their English with each other.
