EC Malta

COVID-19 has forced a significant change of lifestyle upon most people. Whilst EC Malta has re-opened, it is crucial to ensure the safety of everyone within the organisation.   EC Malta believes in the importance of face-to-face learning and the benefits that such a method has on students, whichever course they may be following.

Temperature checks We carry out temperature checks before each before lessons and after each break. If someone results to have a high temperature, in our case 37.3 degrees and above, we ask them to go home and advise them to call the health authorities for guidance.   3. Mandatory mask/visor wearing It is mandatory to wear a mask or visor, both in the classroom and in the corridors of the school. This applies to both students and staff. The effectiveness of face covering is undeniable, and it’s safe to say that this is one of the most significant safety measures we have adopted. If a student or staff member forgets their face covering, the school will provide them with one to ensure a safe learning experience for everyone.   4. Desks replaced with flap … Read more

Well, I can assure you that everyone here wants you to have the best possible time whilst with us on this island. You know learning English, it goes beyond being in the classroom, which is, of course, fundamental, but language should be there to help you live, to experience things and be able to communicate. So I’m here to give you a couple of tips that will hopefully help you make use of the English you learn in the classroom. Make friends with international students First of all, I would say that you need to make friends with people of different nationalities. What normally happens is that students make friends with people that come from the same country and this does not allow them to speak the language, does not allow them to speak English, so make friends with as many people as possible and speak English. Use the verbs, the words that the teacher helps you learn in the classroom. Join our English school activities Secondly I would definitely recommend going out on activities. We organise a lot of activities here. We have a very, very vast programme and this will allow you to, first of all, make friends with other people so you won’t feel lonely and again practise your English because the only language you can use to communicate with our tour guides, with your friends, with … Read more

  I have been doing an English course in Malta for 7 months, my personal experience has been really phenomenal so far, I have met many people from around the world. Nowadays I have a lot of friends and activities to do every day, I can practice my English while living the experience of staying abroad. I had never lived by the sea before I arrived to Malta. so I have been discovering the island and the different water sports like kayaking, snorkelling, windsurfing and diving. This experience is something that I could never have imagined! However for me the most important thing is that I have been improving my English level. To speak proper English has been the challenge of my life since for a long time, this is why I quit my job and I decided to challenge myself. EC School has given me all the resources I need to achieve my goals. I had booked an English year course and when the course started, it had more benefits than a General English course, I have free lessons that help me improve different skills, like the pronunciation clinic and specialised grammar lessons which are taught by expert teachers. That is why I recommend you to challenge yourself and learn a new language while you learn as well about cultures around the world. You too can improve your English, if you simply take the decision and make the effort!
