Interview with Glenda Gonzalez Ruiz, Sales and Marketing Manager of Inlingua Malta: “Language tourism in Malta is very essential for the economy”.

Glenda Gonzalez Ruiz, Sales and Marketing Manager of Inlingua Malta

Why would a student choose his school?

Our school was the first on the island in 1980 and since then we have focused on providing the best English programs with qualified teachers, and the best mix of student nationality. The location is very convenient surrounded by beaches and all the amenities for students’ stay.

 

In your opinion, what are the main benefits for a student studying abroad?

I came to Malta from Venezuela in 2014 and studied for 11 months at inlingua, so far it has been one of the best experiences in my life, you will meet people from all over the world, you will learn about their culture, history, gastronomy, it’s like travelling to different countries but you are in an English classroom learning a new language with other students who are at the same level of learning something completely new. if you are learning for a long period you will miss your family, friends, your country, your food, but you will appreciate it more when you come back but having new friends from different countries that you will then visit and practice your new language with them.

 

How do you see the future of language tourism?

Malta has become one of the 6th most popular destinations for learning English. Language tourism in Malta is very essential to the economy, as we have around 40 English language schools on the island the industry has become very competitive, however, we all try to offer the best experience for them, with regards to courses, accommodation and activities. Malta is growing every day in the tourism sector and many changes have been made to improve their stays and I believe it will continue to grow in the same way despite the Covid situation.

 

What types of courses do you think will be the most in demand in the future?

Business English for an affordable price will be an excellent choice in the future, but General English will remain the demanding alternative.
