In the past years, Malta has become one of the top destinations for students of all ages and backgrounds wanting to learn the English language in a sunny, historical and safe environment.
The beautiful island of Malta, defined by Winston Churchill as the island of 'romance and history', has more to offer than is more commonly appreciated.
A history that dates back almost 7,000 years, a rich cultural heritage still alive today, beautiful weather all year round, a close link with anything British that dates back to the year 1800, excellent accommodation facilities and a nightlife which is envied by many other European countries, provide the perfect setting for any English Language student.
Early in the 19th century, English was proclaimed the official language of Malta. It was not until 1934 that Maltese was also made an official language. As a result Malta is now one of the few truly bilingual countries in the world. Today, both languages are spoken by virtually all the population in Malta. Another legacy of British rule is the continued existence of many English elements in the Maltese way of life. English is taught in all Maltese schools from the very first grade. British newspapers and periodicals, as well as television and radio are avidly followed by the Maltese. Moreover, Malta's British style system of education provides a large corpus of highly trained EFL teachers, whilst the fact that Malta is a prime British tourist destination, further enhances its long English-speaking tradition.
These factors alone make Malta the ideal location to learn English, or improve one's grasp of the language. The opportunity to practise conversation outside the classroom, in real situations, is an important element in the learning process.
