Maltese: The Maltese Language in Education in Malta. Regional Dossiers Series
Sciriha, Lydia, Comp.
Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning
This regional dossier aims to provide concise, descriptive information and basic educational statistics about minority language education in a specific region of Europe--Malta. Aspects that are addressed include features of the education system, recent educational policies, main actors, legal arrangements, and support structures, as well as quantitative aspects, such as the number of schools, teachers, pupils, and financial investments. This kind of information can serve several purposes and can be relevant for policymakers, researchers, teachers, students, and journalists. They can also use this Regional dossier as a first orientation towards further research or as a source of ideas for improving educational provisions in their own region. The subject of this dossier is Maltese or "il-Malti," a Semitic language closely related to Arabic in structure and morphology though unlike Arabic, Maltese is written from left to right and in the Latin script. This dossier focusses exclusively on the Maltese language spoken by the Maltese living in the Maltese archipelago which comprises Malta, Gozo, and Comino with the overwhelming majority of the Maltese residing in Malta, the largest of the three islands. A list of references and further reading is included.
