New Zealand Language Centres
Established: 1984
Christchurch Language Centre can be found next to the peaceful River Avon in the heart of NZ's English Garden City, with access to huge choice of outdoor sports including skiing and snowboarding.
All New Zealand Language Centres schools are government-approved and registered with the quality assurance body ENGLISH NEW ZEALAND (formerly FIELSNZ).
The Courses:
From General English and Business English to Examination preparation programmes (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, FCE, CAE), Young Learners, Activity Courses and Study Tours there is something to cater for every taste and English level.
The Teachers:
Naturally, all our teachers are qualified by Cambridge or Trinity College, and we are proud to have five IELTS and Cambridge examiners among our teaching staff.
Our approach is very communicative and learners are encouraged to use and practice the language as much as possible. The teaching methods are skills-based (reading, writing, speaking and listening), with vocabulary, grammar and structures introduced around interesting and relevant themes.
The Facilities:
The colleges are well equipped with Self-Access Centres for private study, free Internet facilities, kitchens and large student common rooms. There are weekly sports and sightseeing activities, and fantastic weekend trips to Rotorua, the Bay of Islands, Nelson and Queenstown. Wellington is the ideal base to explore many of the filming locations in 'The Lord of the Rings'.
The Homestay:
'Live the culture and the language with a Kiwi family'. Experience the NZ lifestyle and practice your English every day while living with one of our kind and welcoming homestay families. All our families are personally inspected and we know that they'll give students a great welcome and treat them as one of the family.
We can also organise other accommodation such as youth hostels, and student flats.
The Service:
Whether you need help and advice on personal, academic or just general issues, our multi-lingual counsellors will be more than happy to assist you.
