inlingua trainers attend Business English workshop

Here at inlingua, we know that the quality of our teaching is the foundation of our success.

The latest workshop organised for our trainers focused on how to teach Business English, with particular emphasis on three main areas: the nature of communicative competence within the context of international business communication, the setting of priorities in order to make training both effective and efficient, and the professional development of business English teachers.

The speaker for the session was Evan Frendo, a freelance trainer and teacher trainer based in Berlin who has been involved in Business English since 1993 and travels all over Europe and Asia to run teacher training courses.

The 3 hour session was highly focused on various topics relevant to the business world such as telephony, social English, meetings and discussions, e-mails, phone and video conferences, reports, presentations and negotiations.

inlingua business courses offer the student a holistic apporach to all aspects of business practice and aim to teach the student the intercultural, linguistic and discourse competence that are necessary to develop and maintain successful business relationships.
At the end of a business course our students have achieved greater confidence with these skills and their level of English is significantly improved.

Our commitment to quality is what continuously drives us to improve and invest in our trainers and teaching methods and our confidence and expertise in delivering effective Business English courses is made evident by the success of our programmes.

Malta voted third best diving destination

A previous post spoke about Malta as being the jewel of the Mediterranean and highlighted several things that our tiny island has to offer. Now, Malta has been voted the third best diving destination in the world by some 35,000 readers of Diver Magazine, a North American publication, preceded only by Egypt and the Maldives.

The waters around Malta and Gozo are blessed with rocky reefs, caves, plentiful marine life and the wrecks of ships from Malta's rich maritime history.

When you book an English language course at inlingua Malta you can also book a PADI diving course which can be followed after your morning lessons. If you are interested in diving but not too sure about committing to a full course, we can arrange for you to have a test dive first to see how you feel.

So take the plunge and book and English and diving course with inlingua - there's a whole new world underwater just waiting to be explored...

online testing

inlingua is now offering you the opportunity to take your placement test online up to one month before you arrive in Malta for your English language course.

The test can be accessed at http://www.inlingua-mct.com/ and your entry will be sent directly to us. Our academic department will grade your work and send you the results with information about your level of English and where you will be placed when you arrive.

The 100 question test starts off with basic questions which get harder as they progress. You should stop answering questions once they get too difficult. The further you get into the test, the higher your level of English. This procedure ususally gives accurate readings about your level but if you find yourself in the wrong class when you arrive, we will change the level for you.

So take advantage of online testing and beat the Monday morning testing rush. All you have to do is show up at 9:00 am and find your allocated classroom.

Beautiful Malta!

For years Malta has been called the jewel of the Mediterranean and this comes as no surprise when you think that fantastic weather, friendly people, vibrant nightlife, rich culture, historic importance and neolithic temples are just a few of the many things that this tiny island has to offer.
