Our New Cambridge Empower Syllabus
Learning English in Malta has just taken a big step forward. At Maltalingua, we’re delighted to share that our full English syllabus is now based on Cambridge English Empower – a modern, well-researched course that focuses on real communication and building confidence from day one.
Whether you’re completely new to English or looking to refine advanced skills, this new syllabus supports you through a clear and effective learning journey. Lessons are practical, engaging, and designed to help you actually use English in everyday situations, not just study it in theory.
Empower has been developed by Cambridge University Press & Assessment, combining their teaching expertise with their world-renowned English assessment experience. This means students benefit from high-quality materials that reflect how English is genuinely spoken and used today. Everything is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), so progress is structured, measurable, and internationally recognised.
Put simply, you’ll be learning the right English, at the right level, in the right order – with content that feels relevant to real life.
What Is Cambridge Empower?
Cambridge English Empower is a general English course designed for adult learners. What makes it different is how it blends classroom learning with ongoing assessment and personalised online practice. Every unit is supported by Cambridge research and global language data, ensuring what you learn is useful, realistic, and suited to your level.
Lessons use modern topics, clear visuals, and activities that encourage you to connect the language to your own experiences. You’ll work equally on speaking, listening, reading, and writing, helping you develop well-rounded communication skills that you can rely on outside the classroom.
Assessment is also handled in a refreshingly supportive way. Instead of stressful tests, Empower uses regular progress checks that help guide your learning. Short unit tests show what you’re doing well and where you might need a little extra practice. Based on your results, you’re directed to targeted online activities that focus on exactly what you need to improve.
There are also mid-course and end-of-course tests created by Cambridge exam specialists. These give you a clear picture of your progress, along with a personalised CEFR report, so you always know how far you’ve come.
How Cambridge Empower Helps You Succeed
So what does this change mean for you as a student at Maltalingua? In short, it means a more enjoyable learning experience with real, visible results.
Real English for Real Life
You’ll practise language that you can actually use. Each unit includes Everyday English lessons with video content, focusing on natural conversation, pronunciation, and common situations. This helps you sound more confident and less like you’re reciting from a textbook – perfect for life in Malta and beyond.
Confidence Through Clear Progress
Empower is carefully paced, so learning never feels rushed or overwhelming. You build confidence step by step, supported by regular feedback and clear “can-do” goals. In fact, Cambridge research shows that 96% of students felt their English improved with Empower. Seeing your progress makes it much easier to speak up and take part in class.
Personalised Learning Support
Everyone learns differently, and Empower takes that into account. After each unit, you’ll have access to personalised online practice that focuses on your specific needs. Whether it’s grammar, vocabulary, or skills practice, you can work on it in your own time, on your phone or computer, whenever it suits you.
Engaging and Enjoyable Lessons
Lessons are built around topics that feel current and relatable, from travel and culture to work, technology, and everyday life. The content feels fresh, and students often find the time passes quickly because they’re genuinely involved. Teachers consistently see higher participation and motivation in Empower classes.
A Clear Path Across All Levels
Empower covers all levels from A1 (beginner) to C1 (advanced), offering a smooth and consistent learning experience as you progress. Each level is clearly linked to CEFR standards, so you always know what you’re working towards and what you can achieve with your English at every stage.
