The Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations Malta (FELTOM) recently released its comprehensive 2023 report, and CEO Jessica Rees-Jones sat down for an exclusive Q&A session to discuss its key findings and implications for the industry.

This month, we turn our attention to five esteemed FELTOM schools located in the vibrant locales of Sliema and Gzira: AM Language, Berlitz | ELA, IELS, Inlingua Malta, and NSTS.

Following the difficult Covid-19 pandemic which brought to a sudden halt the growth of the English Language Teaching (ELT) sector, statistics for 2023 issued by NSO reported annual student arrivals of 78.6k, which is 6.1% lower compared to the 83.6k registered in 2019.

Malta, with its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, has become a sought-after destination for English language learners. At the heart of this Mediterranean gem, lies FELTOM, representing a network of accredited English language schools.

In the picturesque backdrop of Malta, nestled in the Mediterranean Sea, the FELTOM 2024 ELT Malta Workshop unfolded last February, offering agents a unique opportunity to delve into the world of English Language Teaching (ELT) amidst the rich cultural tapestry of the island.

The recent spike in local coronavirus cases has been very concerning. While FELTOM welcomes the new measures introduced by the government to safeguard the nation, the closure of all educational facilities and in-person training has dealt yet another blow to our already struggling industry.

BELS English Schools in Malta and Gozo have been in the industry for over 20 years. At BELS one can expect exceptional academic and managerial quality that is based on years of experience. BELS English schools in Malta and Gozo have been accredited by a number of reputable institutions in the industry.
