Language study trip to Malta: learn English and enjoy the Mediterranean climate

A language study trip to Malta could be the solution you are looking for if you are planning an English language study trip but don't fancy the English weather or a long trip across the Atlantic to America or Canada or "Down Under" to Australia.

Located south of Sicily in the Mediterranean, the archipelago of the Republic of Malta was a British colony for a century and a half. Today, English is the second official language in Malta alongside Maltese (a language related to Arabic) - and in some cases even predominant in the education system. Accordingly, some English language schools have discovered Malta for themselves and offer their courses in the unique language learning environment, which combines British heritage with a Mediterranean climate and lifestyle.

English language courses are available in Malta for all ages, levels and interests, such as language courses lasting several months to improve your language skills and prepare for exams. One-week or multi-week vacation courses for children, teenagers or adults are popular, allowing time to relax on the beach and explore the islands, their wonderful natural landscape and rich historical heritage.

The easiest way to plan a language study trip to Malta is with a qualified language travel agency. The providers you will find here are local agencies that are in close contact with language schools in Malta. They have often known their partner schools for a long time, regularly check their offers and can therefore give you the best individual advice on courses, accommodation, travel and leisure activities.

If you want to improve your English skills in a sunny Mediterranean climate, get to know people from different countries and experience a vacation feeling, community experience and learning progress at the same time, a language study trip to Malta is a good choice.

Questions and answers

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.
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.
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
  • Business course small group - 20 lessons/week of 45 min. each, max. 6 participants
  • Cambridge Preparation Course (FCE) - 20 lessons/week à 45 min., max. 12 participants
  • Cambridge Preparation Course (CAE) - 20 lessons/week of 45 min. each, max. 12 participants
  • Cambridge Preparation Course (CPE) - 20 lessons/week of 45 min. each, max. 12 participants
  • TOEFL preparation course - 30 lessons/week of 45 min. each, max. 12 participants
  • IELTS preparation course - 30 lessons/week of 45 minutes each, max. 12 participants
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 English courses does the language school offer? (Standard courses, intensive courses, diploma courses, private lessons)
  • What qualifications and mother tongue do the English teachers have?
  • What is the minimum age and average age of the individual language courses?
  • What is the maximum number of participants?
  • What is the nationality mix like?
  • How long does a lesson last and how many lessons are taught per week?
  • Is there an organized leisure program?
  • What is included in the price? (Course, accommodation, meals, free time,...)
  • What other costs are involved? (Airport transfers, registration fees, surcharges for vacations, exams,...)
