About Malta
This Malta guide uses seven dated public records from the European Union, the European Central Bank, UNESCO, and the Government of Malta. The six themes practise source-aware English about Il-Ftira, the City of Valletta, an intangible-heritage inventory, Maltese, the euro changeover, and the World Heritage Convention record. Each lesson keeps a source, date, and narrow claim together.
