Interactive Classes for Senior Students (50+)
Learn English and have the best holiday of your life in a safe and comfortable environment!
Enjoy the mild winter and the beautiful spring of ‘the pearl of the Mediterranean sea’ as the Maltese call it – whenever you choose to come, you will not be disappointed: local culture, nature, food, the weather and people will make it an unforgettable experience.
IH Malta is offering you a chance to learn English together with other students of a similar age, helping you to boost your communication, reading, and writing skills and build your confidence when in an English-speaking country.
About the course
The package includes a light course load of 15 hours of tuition (20 lessons) and daily organised social events (bus tours of the island, a traditional Maltese dinner, etc.). This ensures a great balance of language lessons and sightseeing.
Our language lessons are tailor-made to meet the needs of each individual group of students. On the first day our academic staff will discuss the content of the course with you, making sure that it is relevant to your needs and interests. The materials we create are learner-friendly – the handouts that we offer our senior students have enlarged print and the IWBs that each class is equipped with will provide memorable visual support to language learning, and also ensure very good quality of the listening materials.
During the weekend you will be able to choose extra activities, building your own programme to suit your needs and interests. You can go on a bus tour, exploring the heart of Malta and learning about its rich history, travel around Gozo, or book a Comino cruise.
Accommodation
The 50+ packages below offer accommodation in our Belview residence and with host families. It is also possible to choose 3, 4, or 5* hotel options, in which case the package price will be calculated upon request depending on the type of hotel that you choose and the dates of your arrival.

Why should every senior learn a foreign language?
- Learning a language is the best way to exercise your brain. It also significantly improves your memory and keeps you mentally engaged.
- EFL classes provide an important social network and are great for making new friends and socialising in a fun and comfortable way.
- Using our IWBs and computers, we can also help you practise basic IT skills so you feel more comfortable sending e-mails to your friends and family abroad, sharing pictures with your new foreign friends, and even just browsing the Internet.
- And, finally…. Simply because it’s FUN!!!
