Students also enjoyed a balanced mix of nationalities in the conversation classes as we currently have many different nationalities learning English with us; students from Latin America, Japan, Vietnam, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Turkey, Switzerland and Mauritius to name a few.

GSE teachers came up with interesting topics for discussion that engaged students in conversations about the role of social media in today’s society and how social media platforms are changing the way people communicate with each other. Another topic included happiness which the teacher introduced by presenting a TED Talk video on the subject, leading students to brainstorm ideas on what makes for true happiness so they could better express their opinions on such a universally interesting and relevant question.

Keeping fit and healthy was also on the list of topics discussed this week, and students debated the importance of living a healthy life and the practice of workers taking lunch breaks at work, while learning different idiomatic expressions related to health and lifestyle. Students also expressed their thoughts on online dating and participated in problem-solving activities, with some groups presenting a topic-related problem/scenario (using the right descriptive vocabulary and grammar tenses), while their classmates had to come up with different possible solutions. This, of course, involved plenty of student-student interaction and helped students exercise their communicative abilities while practising their language knowledge.

English Conversation groups were also smaller in size than the morning groups, meaning that all students could get their fair share of speaking practice and attention from the teacher, without the teacher needing to rush the process from one student to another just to make sure everyone gets an equal turn.

The free English conversation classes will continue all through the next three months and students booking a General English course will automatically receive an upgrade to 30 lessons per week, getting 10 free lessons per week. We would like to encourage as many students as possible to visit Malta during the winter months, not only to improve their English speaking skills in smaller groups and mix with students of different nationalities, but to see the Maltese islands in all their wintry glory. Winter in Malta is an opportunity to enjoy bright green countryside, deep blue seas and clear sunny skies – the perfect conditions for postcard photos.  So pack your cameras and buy your cheapest flight tickets to Malta for an English language learning experience to remember!

The post First week of free English conversation courses; free lessons in December, January and February with GSE appeared first on Gateway School of English.

Apart from our standard and ever-popular General and Intensive English courses, this summer a number of adult students enrolled on Business English courses (either in groups or private tuition), exam preparation programmes for international IELTS / FCE / CAE exams, English for Specific Purposes including Aviation English and Medical English, and, very interestingly, Teacher Training Programmes, which are becoming increasingly popular and target the needs of modern-day teachers of primary, secondary and tertiary level in diverse educational settings, using various tools (such as smartphones and the Interactive Whiteboard) and methodologies (for example CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning).

At the school’s Junior Centre, located minutes away from the main building in a modern, comfortable environment with classes fully equipped with Interactive Whiteboards, our junior students have the opportunity to put English into fun practice through games, music, discussions, role-plays and other activities designed to maximise their English output and improve their overall knowledge and skills, getting them to use and speak in English naturally and in no time, all while making new friends from other countries around the world.

On the spectrum of leisure, among the various activities on offer on the school’s social programme, students are enjoying seaside trips to sandy beaches like Comino’s Blue Lagoon and Malta’s Mellieha Bay up north, welcome parties at the Hot Ice Bar in Paceville St Julian’s, cultural and educational tours of Malta’s historical landmarks (Valletta, Mdina and the Three Cities), and visits to attractions such as the National Aquarium, and many many more.

We now look forward to the second half of summer and encourage those of you who are considering an English language trip to Malta in the coming weeks/months to book now so you can benefit from our low season rates which will be starting as early as 24th August! So to sum it up if you wish to take an English course in summery Malta (August, September and October are also summer months in Malta!), choose Gateway and you will pay the winter rate for quality courses and accommodation.

We not only highly recommend that you visit Malta on holiday in 2018, but we would also suggest that you take an English language course with Gateway School of English, whether you need to brush up on your language skills or simply to start learning a new language.  This year, at Gateway School of English, we welcomed students from countries we had never had students from before, mainly from many Latin American and Asian countries.

This augurs well for the year ahead and is good news for our students as our English language school in Malta has always been renowned for its healthy and balanced mix of nationalities with very often a minimum of 12-15 nationalities (sometimes over 20!) for the most part of the year. This diverse collection of cultures and nationalities makes an English language stay in Malta even more exciting for our students, as they get to meet and make new friends from all over the world, and with whom they absolutely must use English to communicate – something that is not possible when students only take English lessons in their home country.

For those of you who haven’t yet been to Malta here on our website you can find a number of reasons to consider studying English in Malta.

With so many airlines flying from cities across Europe to Malta, there are endless possibilities to get to the Maltese islands and this will certainly contribute to an increase in the number of visitors choosing Malta as their English language learning destination in 2018.

We at Gateway School of English are eagerly looking forward to another record breaking year in terms of nationalities studying at our school and we will certainly welcome other new nationalities from different countries across the globe who will be experiencing Malta and learning English with us.

We would like to ask those students who have been to Malta on an English language course to spread the word and encourage others to do the same, as we truly believe that learning a language in a country where it is spoken, is a unique experience which can serve you for the rest of your personal, professional and academic life. Learning a new language is adding another worldview to your own, which should definitely be a life goal for all of us in today’s world.

Let’s prove Lonely Planet right in saying that Malta is among the 10 best destinations to visit in 2018!

And for the photography enthusiasts Malta is a fabulous destination especially during the winter/spring months with breathtaking shots of Malta’s Mediterranean countryside and rugged coastal scenery. So Malta might be a good alternative to London if you’re looking for a city break somewhere with a more milder climate.  However if you are an avid photographer please do check The Photo Team website before travelling to London to see some nice shots of the city. The photo team are one of the leading professional photography companies in London.
