The Maltese language, marked by an evolutionary socio-political process which goes back centuries, is certainly very challenging to learn – but also very rewarding. Although Malta is officially a bilingual country where the English language is widely used in virtually all social spheres, amongst which academic and professional fields, a basic knowledge of Maltese is an absolute asset in developing and fostering a sound sense of community within the various local contexts.
This 30-hour course will not only focus on the basic phonetic, lexical, and grammatical notions of the Maltese language, with its unique traits, but will also help potential students familiarise with interesting idiomatic challenges which strengthen further one’s communication skills. This course will be offered asynchronously, providing extensive flexibility within the learners’ busy schedules. That said, commitment and dedication are key factors for successful outcomes and like any other language, continuous exposure to Maltese, in terms of reading, listening, writing and speaking, will help one overcome beginners’ barriers and achieve enough self-confidence which will lead to further improvement.
The course which targets mainly non-native speakers will entail practical activities that will help them stay engaged and motivated. All material and presentations will be uploaded on our Virtual Learning Environment. Regardless of the asynchronous nature of the course, students will be still availing of tutorial contact for delivery and also in case of any rising necessities and clarifications.
The course will commence once the required number of learners have enrolled. This course offers 30 hours of self-paced learning, including instructional materials, online resources and discussion forums. Registration is open until 30 April 2023. Upon reaching the minimum number of participants, you will be notified. You will have until mid-June to complete the course at your own pace regardless of the commencement date.
