Meet Archie Our Mascot

Archie, the AClass English  owl loves to have his photo taken by our English language students. He is especially fond of getting his picture snapped in front of local landmarks. Anyone can take Archie for a weekend photo shoot. Just drop by the office to find out more. 

Quick Recap

Well, I can't believe how quickly the months have passed. Christmas came and went and Nicole and I were saying it was going to be ages till we got to go to the beach again...FAST FORWARD six months and we are back to flip-flops and t-shirts. Where has the time gone?

January and February were busy with long-term students and organising accommodation deals to be able to offer the best to our students.

 March was training month .We also had teacher observations and teacher training sessions on using  White boards for English lessons, teaching Teens and also a session on teaching Young Learners. This to ensure all of our teaching staff are up to date on the latest methods and ideas in English Language teaching.

Interactive White Boards were installed at AClass between February and March.

April was the month when  AClass was given a facelift. We sprung into actions with new floors being  laid down, the classrooms were given a  fresh lick of paint and  new artwork hung on the walls.

The president meeting some AClass students who are here learning English in Malta

AClass had a guest of honour in May, none other than the president of Malta himself. He was interested to hear about where our students came from and met many of them personally.

Junior group in June showing Liz their magazine. A project they worked on all week.

June has well and truly kicked off and we are looking at a number of student arrivals each week. New air-conditioners are being installed as well as new touch-screen computers for the internet cafe. As you can imagine these have been a hit with junior, teen and adult English language learners alike.

The new computers have been a hit!

Gearing up for an English Language Learning Summer

I have been rather busy these last few weeks looking after our students and preparing for the next few months with bookings coming in hard and fast.

Still, I did manage to break away from AClass Academy of English for a few hours to take one of our English students to Mdina for an English lesson with a difference! We walked around the old capital and admired the beautiful architecture and stonework. Mdina was buzzing with life due to the fact the pope was visiting the island so the government decided to embellish all the piazzas with pots and stunning floral arrangements.

Once we had looked around, it was time to savour the views from a cafe close to the main church while feasting upon a delicious slice of chocolate cake.

I can assure you it was quite an anti-climax coming back to the office after basking in the glorious sunshine.Still, I love doing this because it helps me connect with our students and helps the school give a personal touch when learning English in Malta.

AClass English School Winter 2010

Here are a few pictures of our beautiful island in winter. Two of the pictures are of Riviera beach which is a 20-minute bus ride away from the school. We also have beaches which are 5-10 minutes walk away.

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.

Busy Weeks

It has been a very busy few weeks for AClass. Learning English in Malta peaks during the summer months so bookings are coming in hard and fast.

Although the agent reponse has not been as strong as we had hoped, our direct bookings are increasing by the day. Enquiries to from site are up as well. We have already had several students rebooking or extending their stay as they were very pleased with their course
