Gozitan author Charles Daniel Saliba, creator of the Maltese-English book series Maltese for Foreigners, has just published a new book to complete the series: Maltese Grammar Essentials in Context 3.

The author said that similar to the first and second grammar books in the series, this bilingual grammar book covers major Maltese grammatical concepts in depth using various readings and situations commonly encountered in daily life.

It is designed to teach the language contextually in a cyclical manner, while enabling vocabulary acquisition and effective comprehension and communication skills.

The book is accompanied by an updated CD or a dual USB containing audio files linked to the book’s content so that learners can listen to native Maltese speakers reading the text and performing the dialogues.

In 2018, the three books in the A1 level of this series (beginner-elementary) will be available in Italian-Maltese versions: Le mie prime 750 parole in Maltese, Grammatica Maltese essenziale e contestuale 1, and Parlo Maltese 1.

Saliba received a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Sheffield in 2015, specialising in teaching Maltese as a foreign language. Saliba’s study was sponsored by the Malta Government Scholarship Scheme Grant (MGSS).

This year he published his research, ‘Teaching Maltese as a second language to adults,’ as a chapter in Informing Educational Change: Research Voices from Malta, edited by D. Hyatt, P. Clough and C. Nutbrown. The book was published by the University of Sheffield.
