dc.description.abstractA sea of blank faces stared him down. Omar N'Shea had asked his students a question, but no reply came. None of them wanted to be there. The University of Malta's Medical Foundation Programme (MFP) aims to equip high school graduates with less than 13 years of formal education with the skills they need to enter Medical or Dentistry school. But its focus on academic English is what receives the most ire. N'Shea, one of the programme coordinators, understands. 'They don't see the value initially. They think to themselves: 'I didn't travel thousands of miles away to sit in an English class. No, I want to study medicine.' The frustration is understandable,' he nods.en_GB
