About the course

At LSC Malta we ensure that our modules cover each skill as well as subskills. We have theme-based lessons which allow our students to learn English and achieve marked improvement. This is done through input and output of the language.

Our students develop fluency, accuracy and appropriate uses of English language. This is enhanced by studying in a multi-cultural environment. Our programmes are designed for students who wish to study long-term and benefit from exceptional guidance, monitoring and feedback throughout the course.

Learning Styles

Here at LSC we conduct a 'Needs Analysis' for each student upon arrival, which helps us determine each student's learning style. We believe that blending a student's learning style into our approach is an effective way to ensure progress. This method has proven to be effective as our success rates are very high.
