Programme overview Level 1 to 4

Credits 60 each level

Duration 24 weeks each level

Our English programme combines the use of a Core

Text and Special Interest classes with an individualised

learning programme where students are able to

undertake classes at the level they are at. This means

that they can take writing and other classes at the

level they are operating at, not the class level which

may be lower or higher. Combined with our Friday

excursions and Study Skills programmes these classes

take a holistic approach to education and cater each

student's individual needs.

Classes are current, student-centred and relevant

enough to cater for students interests. For example,

our morning classes may start with a discussion of a

newspaper article from the morning's paper or the

celebration of a particular festival or holiday from one

of the countries of the students.

After a short break, the students then practise their

integrated skills using a core text. In this way they

study vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, speaking

and listening in a particular context and on a particular

theme. This makes them more memorable and easier

to learn and retain

The last lessons of the day give students further

practice in the four skills as well as teaching students

more about New Zealand, colloquial English and

survival English.

General English programme overview

General English & IELTS Preparation

It is a full-time programme combining General English

with IELTS Preparation. Both General and Academic

IELTS are taught in this programme. General IELTS is

required for Immigration applications only and

Academic IELTS is used for acceptance into vocational

and university programmes.

As well as studying the four macro-skills of listening,

reading, speaking and writing, students study exam

techniques and strategies and each of the macro skills

are dissected to give students a full understanding of

the different types of questions used within each of

the skills.

Grammar and vocabulary skills will be an integral part

of this IELTS preparation course and regular mock tests

will be given so students can track their steady

improvement and know when to book for this test.

Diligent students may expect to go up one IELTS mark

by the end of a 12 week study.

Students will receive help to enrol for the external

IELTS test and will be given an intensive 2 hour private

lesson just prior to the test.

Students at New Zealand Certificate of English

Language Level 3 or equivalent are eligible to enter any

of the IELTS programmes.
