Whether your aim is to learn a new language or to improve your English skills, this is the right course for you. Long-stay Programmes are ideal for those students learning English in Malta who want to improve their English to achieve real language fluency in order to study or work in an English speaking country.

Our Intensive English course will help you to build your confidence in the different language skills, listening, writing, reading and speaking so as to reach an understanding of native speakers and to be able to communicate with confidence and fluency. Intensive English is designed to give the student a solid foundation in the English language and is ideal for students who need to improve their fluency in a relatively short time.

Students are encouraged to use the English language by means or role-play, group discussions and a variety of real life situations.

All students on the Long-stay programmes are given monthly progress tests and a written report from their teacher. Levels start from beginner english upwards.

All students on the Intensive Long-stay Programme can change to a Business English or Exam preparation course if they reach an intermediate level, depending on availability of these courses.
