The program was a 2-week English language course designed to improve participants’ English language communication skills. This meant both oral and written communication. The training followed the classical language teaching method, so there was individual work, group discussion and frontal education. The education place was in the classrooms of the training school, we had no external practice. During the training, emphasis was placed on all areas, including writing, reading, speech, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Of these, the emphasis was on growing speech skills, vocabulary development and reading comprehension.

The course was taught by native English speaker teachers. In each study group, 8-12 people from different countries participated. The group composition specified a level survey. The training was organized according to the given topic and we received a textbook and photocopies of the textbook. We were also given homework every day. Progress was monitored weekly. Each week, the composition of the group was changed, partly because a lot of students from the group left and were replaced by new members, and it also helped the group members develop through new people.

Successful completion of the training was recognized by a diploma. During our free time, we learned about Malta’s cultural and historical monuments, which are fascinating and have thousands of years of monuments. In addition to studying, the beautiful surroundings meant a holiday for us.
