This program is for people who want to improve their English communication skills to work or live in an English speaking country. Materials are from a range of topics with a New Zealand focus.

The course is function based. This means it uses practical language found in real situations in New Zealand or around the English speaking world. This approach is based on the European Union's framework of language learning.

The course is taught at 5 levels, from beginner to Advanced.

Here are some of the topics we cover:

• Travel and transport
• Work
  
• Health and safety
• New Zealand geography and history
• Being a consumer and shopping
  
• Social conversation skills and personal relationships
  
• Maori culture and language
• Sports and leisure
• Media

The course takes a multi skill approach, meaning you will cover reading, writing, listening and speaking.  There will be weekly assessments to help us and you measure your progress.  We also teach you many useful tips and strategies to make you a successful language learner.  Here is an example of a week's work.

Classes are from Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 12:00. The whole course runs for 10 weeks but you can join for any period between 1 and 10 weeks.

During the winter (June to October) we also run course in the evening Monday to Thursday 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
