Where Language Learning Meets Community

Are you looking for an English course that feels practical, engaging, and relevant to your life? Do you want to improve your skills while meeting interesting people and experiencing a new culture? Whether you’re learning for work, travel, or personal growth, you need an experience where lessons help you communicate naturally, conversations feel effortless, and social experiences are just as valuable as time in the classroom.

That’s exactly what the BELS 50+ Programme offers. This short-term programme combines high-quality English lessons with an immersive cultural experience designed for adults who want to boost their fluency while exploring Gozo with like-minded people.

In the mornings, you’ll join our General English Standard Course (20 lessons per week). These mixed-age classes focus on real-life communication, helping you confidently speak, expand your vocabulary, and improve fluency in everyday situations. Lessons are interactive and dynamic, ensuring that learning is engaging, practical, and relevant to your daily life.

But this programme is about more than just classroom learning. It’s about living the island life, sharing experiences, and connecting with people in a social and cultural setting. Across the week, you’ll take part in two specially designed activities for 50+ learners. From wine tasting, olive oil sampling, and traditional dinners to walking food tours in Victoria, boat trips, jeep rides, or even joining in local feasts, each activity is a chance to discover Gozo’s culture while practising English in a natural and friendly environment.

With BELS Gozo as your base, you’ll enjoy the calm setting of an adult-only school, where the average age is 40-50 and over 60% of students are 50+. While classroom lessons are mixed-age, all social and cultural activities are exclusively for 50+ participants, ensuring you’ll be surrounded by people who share your interests and outlook.

The exclusive 50+ Social Programme is available for one week, on the following 2026 start dates: 11 April, 9 May, 13 June, 11 July, 15 August, 12 September, 10 October.
