Course description

This course is presented in English using hi-tech, vibrant, audio-visual presentations on Interactive White Boards. The course gives trainees an overview, analysis and practical knowledge about teaching curricula based in CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). The course is for teachers who teach subjects such as geography, history, mathematics, etc. through the English language to non-native speakers of English whether primary or secondary students.

Project workshops are set up with materials presented to be analyzed, and then participants collaborate on producing new materials or adapting existing ones for their own teaching environments. Successful and accurate assessment of learners will be discussed with various methods presented for participants to analyze. Participants will be presented with suitable websites to further enhance their teaching skills and their ongoing professional development, and in other workshops participants are given the opportunity to share their own stories, knowledge and tips based on their successes and difficulties with teaching CLIL. They will also be directed to CLIL-based blogs where they can share their experiences and activities with other teachers and trainers.

The course may also include a daily self-study component for participants to focus on enhancing their English language knowledge and complete some coursework tasks.

Aim of the Course:

Introduce the main principles of CLIL.
Create awareness of current trends in English language teaching, specifically with regard to CLIL.
Develop teachers’ awareness of where they stand in their own CLIL teaching experience.
Convey new and practical ideas for teachers to work with.

"I had fun and it made me want to progress in English."

Guillaume Jacques maurice Goutagny, student from France

The school is well located, in a commercial area, which makes it possible to get a good coffee during the break.

The premises were pleasant. The rooms favored small groups and there was a IWB which came in handy during class. On the other hand, the teacher kept changing the air conditioning which was quite painful, because it was cold and it was not pleasant.

The arrival on the 1st day was quite well organized with the receipt of the student manual and the indication of the room and the teacher. It would have been more comfortable to know his schedules a little before to organize. My son came at 8am on Monday and he was told his class started at 11:15am. So he had to leave and then come back.

The teaching was quite dynamic and centered on the oral which was pleasant. Afterwards, I would have liked to have had more detailed feedback on my situation and better understand my progress at the end of the week and the points that I still have to work on.

I enjoyed meeting the other students and discovered that most of them lived there and were doing several months of training.

For social activities, I was unlucky because the only outing I signed up for was postponed after I left.

Personally I would have liked there to be more homework and work for the next day or for the week. I expected something more intensive.

"Fantastic"

Ana Maria Nogueira Gonçalves, student from Portugal

The school is great. Everytime I had a problem, I talked with the staff, they helped.

I don't recomend to stay in home familys. I had problems with my home family and it was solved in that moment. I think before they put students in their families, they should ask to students if they don't mind to live with dogs for example. But in 2 months I had to change 3 times.

About the school, I really loved my teacher Rita. She was the best. In case you don't feel you are proving with your teacher, it's easy to change. Just a small talk and it's done.

"GREAT EXPERIENCE"

Cristopher Michael Rojas Lepe

It was an amazing experience!!! The place and classrooms are really good, the school is located in a shopping center, close to Paceville and near the beach. Teachers have a great way to teach, they are very patient and they develop a good method that includes theory and practice learning. The activities are really funny and help to discover this beautiful country.

"Unforgettable experience"

Celia Trolliet

I came to ACE English Malta for 3 months, and everything was great. Thanks to the atmosphere in the classes and the school, it was a pleasure to come and learn new things.
My teachers were all very professional and took interest in our evolution with the English language.

Moreover, every week we had an activity programme which helped me meet new people and have fun.


ACE English school is very modern, and has a great location. St Julian's is near everything, and it's easy from here to go wherever we want.
Even in Bay street, we have everything if we need after the courses.

And a big thank you to all the staff who were very helpful if we have any problem, they're ready to help you!

"Study and beautiful views"

Gabriele Lana

Hello!
While I describe this, I miss Malta and everything I lived there.
The main things were the friendships at the hostel and in the school. The workers were very friendly, attentive and always trying to help me for all I needed.
The teachers were very good and know how to learn us.
I didn´t like the smoke smell, because everyone smoked near to the entrance. In my country (Brazil), anyone smoke near to another people.
I loved the Mondays! Because always there were "pastize" to have when finished the class.
And I loved the tour with the school =)

The location were great, because I lived very near to school. I could go by foot to school.

I only thank you everyone!

And I miss Malta and the school!

Hugs!

"The most amazing experience in my life."

ROGER FRANCISCO STOCCO

Hello guys,

I had a great time in Malta. I met people from all over the world and I had the opportunity to improve my English skills.

I took the classes during the morning with teacher Hilaria and also at the lunch time with teacher Denise.
It was quite interesting, because at the morning I had the possibility to improve my grammar and listening. At the lunch time we were used to have conversation classes. Denise was used to bring different topics to discuss about many different things, such as: cultures, personalities.

The location of the school is excellent, it's in the heart of paceville. I could find supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and everything I needed near from my housing. My housing was two blocks from the school, so it was very easy to move from the hostel to the schools. My housing was independent from the school (Egali Hostel).

The public transportation in Malta is good, but the bus drivers are not so polite as the regular Maltese people.

"Science, entertainment and tourism"

Lidia Michalska - Poland

Staying at ACE Malta was very nice. The school is modern and very well equipped. The teachers are kind and friendly to the students. The school has a very good location. Next to the school is everything the students need. The school organizes interesting sightseeing tours and provides many amusements in the afternoons and evenings. I lived in be. hotel that is in the same building as the school. I would also recommend. Personally, in class I would prefer traditional tables. I also think that there are not enough toilets.

"My experience at Ace English Malta was magically unbelievable."

mareme ngom

First of all I liked everything during my stay. That's the reason why I thinking about a year course.
Being at Ace was like living in heaven (I'm not exaggerating)
The communication was good between the staff and me excepted not telling me I had to pick up my 100€ deposit while I was thinking the taxi driver will bring it. information need to be circulated on that issue to avoid misunderstanding.
The house are clean and very modern I loved my room the location of the school is awesome and in my country I like to show off to tell I went to a school located in a mall
I love that.
Thansks Ace
