Winding Down The Summer

The weather is cooling down somewhat and we have waved goodbye to lots of lovely people this summer. It always surprise us how many lovely people we meet here at school. Who can forget Lalla who brought us Sicilian pastries on her last day at school or Luciano and his group of Italian teens who were so well behaved?

Every week we look forward to welcoming new students through our doors so that they may fulfil their dreams of learning English. Students come here for a variety of reasons. Some want to learn English in Malta for their job or potential new job. These tend to take a General English Course or a Business English Course.  Others have fallen in love with a person who only speaks English. Some students dream of living in an English - speaking country or studying at a prestigious University where English is an entry requirement. These tend to take an Exam Preparation |Course.

All of our students agree that English is like a glue that connects us all. It gives people the freedom to work , live and travel anywhere in the world.

Where else to to come and learn this magnificent island than in the heart of the Mediterranean sea with a rich cultural and historical history with close ties to the British empire.

The months are whizzing by and Malta is seeing more and more blue-bird skies as the mercury is rising. This spring, AClass Academy of English in Malta has been rather busy preparing for the summer period ahead.

Director of Studies at AClass, Liz Camilleri, says:

“After a very successful 2011, we have taken on board many of the suggestions and recommendations we received from our students and partner agents.

Consequently, AClass have  introduced a Business English course in the mornings in light of requests as  previously these lessons we only available in the afternoons.

Just before summer, we will be running an in-service refresher course for all the teachers to promote and exchange ideas. On-going monitoring and training are crucial to ensure teachers continue to progress and keep up to date with the latest developments. 

 We have invested heavily in our staff as we believe a school is only as good as the teachers it employs. No amount of technology can make up for a  teacher who is stagnant .”

All the teachers are  highly- qualified and besides holding the necessary qualifications to teach English they bring their life-experiences to the classroom. They come from a range of diverse working backgrounds with some having worked in mainstream schools while others are retired professionals.  There is also a journalist, a semi-qualified dentist and even a Reiki instructor in our team.  

“Our Business English teacher, besides holding a CELTA qualification, for example, is also an accountant with numerous years of banking experience under her belt.”

While the academic side of things are being taken care of, the Accommodation officers have also been busy interviewing new host families and securing accommodation close to the school. Demand for self-catering apartments with Wi-Fi from English language students is on the increase so this has been a priority this year. New hostels suitable for adults have also been added to the ever expending accommodation portfolio to offer as much choice as possible to prospective students.

Accommmodation Officer at AClass, Nicole Pullicino explains:

“Sourcing quality accommodation close to the school is an on-going project. We monitor all our families, especially during busy periods to ensure standards are kept high. I know we are on the right track when  our students come back the following year and  ask for the same families or apartment again.”

AClass Academy of English has seen steady and continual growth since it opened its doors to English language students in 2009. It offers General English classes as well as Business, Medical and Aviation English. Courses start from €115 euro per week. Visit http://www.aclassenglish.com

2010 is a Great Year to Study and Learn English in Malta

I hope that you are all busy and in a great mood, like everyone here at AClass.

January started with a bang. We were asked to develop and teach a tailor-made Business English Program for a pharmaceutical company based in Malta. The lessons were given on-site so we had to drive to and fro on a weekly basis.

The hard works seems to have paid off as we have received very positive comments based on the clients' feedback.

Back at school we have seen a number of new students here at AClass. One of our latest students was a nanophysicist from Geneva. She was so pleased with her English lessons that she plans on continuing them over Skype in the coming months. Bookings are coming in on a daily basis so no doubt we will building on our first summer's success.

AClass Academy of English is THE school to come to in Malta if you want to learn English.

Working on Video Testimonials

Well as you can see we have been busy working on short, promotional material to give to our students and prospective students. Nicole and I have been creating free resources for students and teachers to use to impove their English or use in class.

Here is a video we made this morning with Ignazio, fondly known as Nacho. He has been here at school for a little over 5 weeks and everyone in the office has warmed to his free-spirited way of living. I think it needs to be fine tuned a little. One of the computer monitors is switchd off which I think gives the impression it's broken so I want to redo it and switch it on!

In the meantime, I am back to the drawing board so to speak to try and improve on what has already been done.
