This is a combination course of General English and Conversational English. This course is designed for students who wish to dedicate more time to develop an increased proficiency in English in a relatively short period of time and the students who wish to maximise their available time to practice the spoken language after the General English course. Students will be placed in the appropriate level of the General English group according to the results of their placement test. The small group (only 6 students per class) Conversational English classes specifically concentrate on speaking, listening and pronunciation and typically involve debates, discussion, pair work (with other students) and presentations. The functional focus is on expressing opinions and preferences, disagreeing and negotiation skills.

All participants on the General course will start off taking a level test that is intended to make sure that all students are placed in a group that will be appropriately challenging and stimulating for their English language skill development. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes, which is the ideal time for introducing a topic and performing some high quality work related to that subject.

The maximum number of students at any time is 12, ensuring that learners feel comfortable speaking in English to their group, and asking their teacher for any extra help. The groups are typically smaller than those of the summer months.



The General English Course is available at 6 levels all year round: Beginner, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced. Students will be placed in the appropriate level according to the results of their placement test and can move on to higher levels according to their progress. Progress tests are held frequently throughout the course to ascertain if a student is ready to move to a higher level.

Beginner Level:
This is an introductory course for those learners who are starting their study of English for the first time. It provides a comprehensive language base intended to prepare even a complete beginner to move on to the next higher level. The course will cover the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. In this way, even on a beginner’s level, the students are encouraged to develop their own learning strategies. Lessons are directed in a gentle manner so as to encourage the less-confident learners but, at the same time, with plenty of practice. Successful students will be able to conduct simple conversations and have knowledge of simple English structures.

Elementary:
In this course, the emphasis is on learning the communicative use of English in everyday situations and is meant to accelerate the pace at which the students achieve certain language independence. Clear objectives in these lessons give the students more conversational skills and more listening and writing activities. The course is an opportunity for young/adult clients to maximise their study time and obtain the necessary language skills to help them move on to the next grade. At the end of the course, students will be able to ask simple questions, express their needs in simple language and understand basic texts.

Pre-Intermediate:
This course is a vital step towards achieving a preliminary level of proficiency in English Language communication without which students will find it hard to continue their studies. It is designed to enable students to communicate easily with each other in English and to feel at home in an English-speaking environment. The course will motivate the students to achieve a real breakthrough into the next level of study, enabling them to work largely on their own.

Intermediate:
This Course is designed to help students improve their English usage and integrate those aspects of language learnt by them in the past. Course material is based on current and contemporary topics, giving the students the necessary practice to create their own personal contributions and to build up self-confidence. Essentially, this course aims to refresh and consolidate existing levels of correct English and, at the same time, introduce new skills to match the wider use of English at the next higher level.

Upper Intermediate:
The aim of this course is to provide students with meaningful material that helps them to improve their fluency and practice of English in everyday use. At this level, the students themselves are ambitious enough to embark on more in-depth language assignments, such as extensive reading, word-formations and varied sentence patterns. In all cases, language items will be related to real-life situations so that students, already proficient in the use of English, will widen their communicative perspective by participating in discussions, role-play and essay/report writing.

Advanced:
This course is structured in such a way as to help students achieve their full potential, stretching their capabilities in the use of idiomatic English as an everyday medium of communication. Training will be intensified in listening comprehension and in writing practice and language focus will explore analysis as well as knowledge of grammar points. The methodology in this course will be done in an enjoyable manner so as to sustain the students’ interest as they sharpen their ‘real world’ skills in vocabulary, idioms, casual conversation and academic discussion. At Advanced level, the emphasis will be on the use of idiomatic English and expressions as well as elaborate vocabulary to express an opinion both in the spoken and written language.

This course allows students to maximise their available time and reinforce what they would have learnt during the group classes. During the one-to-one classes the teacher can focus on the specific areas of business English that the student would need to practice or require further explanation.

This is a combination course of group General English 20 lessons per week and One-to-One Private Tuition 10 or 20 lessons per week. You will have the opportunity to attend a group course in the morning and private tuition in the afternoon. During your afternoon private lessons, together with the teacher, you will identify those language skills and systems, which require reinforcement and revision.

The emphasis, as in all the other courses, is on the practical use of English and the language tasks can be related to the job or profession in which English will be used with confidence and correctness.

This programme is exclusively for mature students. It allows them to improve their English, make new friends and experience Maltese Mediterranean culture. There is a social programme available where activities can be booked individually at an additional cost.

The 50+ Course is an ideal choice for adults who are over fifty years of age wishing to improve their English while making the most of an enjoyable leisurely holiday in Malta. The course is principally formatted around Conversational English practice; the emphasis on lexis and conversation, however, is organically linked to the history and culture of Mediterranean society. Life in Malta is conducted in an English-speaking ambience that enhances the use of English throughout, be it in shops, banks, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, museums and hotels. It is therefore quite natural for our 50+ students to socialize and participate in excursions, visits to historical places, museums and events such as theatrical performances or annual festivals that expand their knowledge of English while introducing them to the colourful history and Mediterranean lifestyle of Malta in general.

Business English classes are open to Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced levels, and lessons are held Monday to Friday from 18:30 till 20:00.

This course provides students with the quickest route to communicative competence in English and is organised around the professional tasks and work-related situations of busy executives wishing to improve their English language competency for business related activities. Practical assignments will draw on the varied interests of the clients themselves and lessons will respect the sophisticated knowledge and expertise of the students, especially in areas such as leadership, innovation and human relationship. The key concepts of the course include topic-based situations that help to reinforce vocabulary, speaking, writing and social English. Our aim is to offer a flexible approach to the basic interaction patterns used by business people in their work. Topic-based learning units will cover a wide range of business situations, such as using good commercial English in collecting information, drafting reports and preparing presentations, managing a job interview, writing business letters and e-mails, telephone conversations, decision making and problem solving. We use a variety of Business English books such as the New Business Matters, The Business Macmillan Series, English 365, Company to Company, New International Business English, English for Business Studies, Further Ahead, Getting Ahead, Market Leader and other books for specific and specialised areas of Business English such as the Oxford Handbook for Commercial Correspondence, E-mail English and Presentations in English to name a few. On your first day at school, you will have a language placement test to enable us to decide which level of the Business English classes is best for you.

In Business English all four language skills – listening, speaking, reading, writing – are developed through a wide range of tasks which closely reflect the world of doing business. Subjects covered include personal development, setting goals, management skills, self-awareness and the importance of good communication in business, corporate image, corporate social responsibility, supply chain, managing conflict which is also an important subject in business as it is encountered frequently at workplaces be it in small family-run companies as well as large multinational organizations. Other topics covered in Business English include marketing and brand awareness related topics such as strategic marketing, marketing plans, identifying your right audience etc. Subjects such as risk management and investments are also included in the more Upper Intermediate/Advanced level programme and would include listening/reading tasks followed by a discussion on topics such damage control and crisis management. As you go along covering these Business English topics you will also have the opportunity to widen your Business English vocabulary which will help you to better express yourself both in writing as well as when speaking about certain topics with your peers in your workplace, university or Business school. In other words the Business English course will increase your understanding, fluency and communicative power in English.

Please note that for the GE evening course, each session is 1.5 hours and booking can be made for a minimum of 10 sessions meaning 15 hours (7.5 hours per week x 2 weeks = 15 hours).

IELTS evening classes also held daily between 18:30 and 20:00.

IELTS has nowadays become the most important EFL exam for students learning English as a foreign language; whether for career advancement (work purposes) or as an admission prerequisite for a foreign university, the need to sit for an IELTS exam is increasing annually. The number of students taking the exam in Malta has also increased drastically throughout the last few years. At Gateway School of English GSE we have also experienced an increase in the number of students choosing to take the IELTS exam preparation course and this is the reason why our IELTS classes are open every week all the year round. So if you book an IELTS class at any time during the year, even for a week, you will be guaranteed the lessons from Monday to Friday. We also guarantee small group tuition with maximum 8 students per class so that the teacher can focus on the individual needs of each and every student in the class.

Specifically in the IELTS test, some questions ask students to describe their own cultures. While teaching, you will be able to observe your students’ answers and their points of view on their culture. For example, the IELTS question may ask something that you would never ask to your student. When your student answers, you will be able to observe their answers and get to know more about their culture.

Students are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of speaking practice in achieving greater levels of fluency. Studying grammar is pointless without having sufficient opportunity to use it in spoken language. Conversation is a central aspect of language acquisition and the activities of this course help to sustain an intelligible flow of language as well as encourage listening comprehension. Our conversational programme is aimed at increasing the student’s confidence and active memory through rich and varied discussion around topic areas. These lessons specifically concentrate on speaking. The lessons typically involve debates, discussion, pair work (with other students) and presentations. The functional focus is on expressing opinions and preferences, disagreeing and negotiation skills.

This course is ideal for groups of friends or family members who want to learn together.
For 3+ persons booking together. Price per person.
