For whom?
Let's dwell in detail on specialized educational programs designed exclusively for adults, uncles and aunts . This is primarily about business English for businessmen, entrepreneurs, directors - all those who have to negotiate with foreign colleagues and understand the essence of what is happening in the world of processes, receiving first-hand information . Classes for this category of students are usually built in the form of a dialogue . The theme is set according to the needs of the audience: business meetings, finance, presentation negotiation, correspondence, intercultural communication and communication and much more .

Having understood the courses for managers, we will move on to language programs for specialists . Such business courses cover topical issues from the financial, production and marketing spheres . Topics are selected in accordance with the needs and professional level of the group formed: it is important for the students to have something to discuss . Many teachers of language schools in Malta specialize in such areas as medicine, law, computer technology, engineering, restaurant and hotel business and others . At the request of students, in addition to basic English, there is always the opportunity to attend classes in one of the narrow specialties .
There are also special language courses for athletes in Malta in the following areas: golf, diving, tennis, sailing, cycling. In addition, to learn "Inglish" here come from all over the world and ... English teachers! Advanced courses are offered both for English-speaking and for foreign teachers - those for whom English is not native.
By the way, some "provincialism" Malta, as well as its insular location result-oriented language courses, participants considered significant advantages: here they do not have to oppose his desire for knowledge numerous distractions of large European cities. The beaches, however, are wonderful on the island - but a little bit of sea and sun the field of a heavy school day has not harmed anyone, right?
How to proceed?
The first thing the future student still in his homeland fills out a form that describes where, how and when he taught a foreign language, lists in which areas he would like to "pull up" and what is the ultimate goal of his stay at a language school at Malta . This information is needed to determine the level of knowledge of the language of the student and make him a quality individual training program . Or, alternatively, the student chooses on my own program of existing . After the coordination of training programs paid for (sometimes upon arrival in Malta, an additional payment for the school registration fee may be required-such nuances should always be clarified in advance) . When the voucher is on hand, it's time to start visa formalities and prepare for departure .
to enroll in a language course in Malta, the initial level of language skills for adults should not be less than the elemental.
Organizational moments
Structure of language courses for entrepreneurs and top management in all schools of the world is approximately the same: it is individual lessons plus classes in mini-groups of 2-4 people. The schools are actively used by many training methods aimed at maximizing the disclosure of the potential of each student, including - role play with simulated real-world business situations (meetings, presentations, negotiations, discussions over the phone transactions, etc...) As for the
the amount of study hours, then for a group of students this is an average of 20-30 hours per week. Individual lessons are held in the amount of 10 hours per week. The duration of one lesson is 45 minutes. Classes usually take place every day, except Saturday and Sunday.
The minimum course duration is a week, the maximum is 52 weeks. During the day, 6 lessons (for groups) are conducted from morning until 13:00 or 16:30. Those who are engaged individually, study in the same mode, but no more than 10 hours a week. There are breaks for lunch and short breaks.
For business students, schools usually take away whole floors with their cafes and specially equipped classes. So they will not often meet young people studying the language: only on the staircase in front of the elevator or in the foyer of the school.
Accommodation options
The options for accommodating adults "business students" - by and large are the same as in ordinary educational tours: in the family, at the residence (dormitory school), in an apartment, studio or hotel. With hotels, everything is clear (as they say, choose to taste), the apartments are usually divided into standard and increased comfort - the last is significantly more expensive.
School Residence - the most popular accommodation option . In fact it is a cozy apartment with free wi- a cable TV, a telephone, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen. . Inhabitants of residences are usually also available such joys of life as a fitness room at their side, a mini golf course, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a sauna, etc. . B one apartment can Place 4 to 6 people, in the bedrooms are usually 2 or 4 . Men and women occupy in separate rooms, however, this rule does not apply to couples who came together . The minimum age for check-in residence - 18 years, conditions accommodation - self .
accommodation in a host family includes a single room (usually with bathroom and bath or shower), breakfast and dinner, as well as weekly linen change. Note that a room for one person is a standard option, but it is possible to accommodate in a room for two, three and four. Host families are most often located in the neighborhood of the school. The host family is the best choice for students who wish to practice additionally in English outside the school walls (however, in this sense, dormitories are also good where multilingual students inevitably communicate in Shakespeare's language and apartments if they are filmed together with students from other countries ). In addition, many are attracted by the opportunity to look at the life of the "simple Maltese family" almost from within, imbued with local culture and traditions.
