Teachers and staff learn English

At the end of August last year we took an English course in Malta which enhanced our knowledge of general English. In the course we worked towards a B2 level, had the opportunity to practice English and gain confidence using it, were engaged in a number of practical activities that encourage critical thinking and explored English from a cultural perspective.

The course included the following aspects: Language Development, Language awareness (exploring and building up lexical and grammatical areas), Developing the four languages skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), Communication skill (gaining confidence and fluency), Phonology (working on stress, rhythm, intonation and phonetic sounds and symbols) and Language Development through Cultural topics. Language learning was entertwined with aspects of Maltese history, culture and traditions, food, geographical features of the islands and feasts and celebrations.
