English
Language School in New Zealand
If you have always wanted to
study abroad in a new and exciting place, consider study
abroad in New Zealand. For such a tiny place, New Zealand
has
 so much to offer the international student. If you want
to study abroad in a place that challenges and helps you in
your professional career, think about study abroad in New
Zealand.
Study abroad
gives you the opportunity to go to a different part of the
world and learn how people operate in this part of the
world. You will learn a lot about your subject of choice,
meet new and interesting people, and fall in love with the
opportunities in this world.
General English
Most English language schools
offer general English classes. These classes do not give you a specific
qualification, but at the end of them you should be able to communicate
more easily in English, or be prepared to go on to further study.
Courses with specific qualifications
Many English language schools in New
Zealand offer courses which provide students with an internationally
recognised qualification. If you want to study at a tertiary
institution, for example, you will probably have to meet
specific English language requirements, so it is important to find out
exactly what standard of English you need for the course you choose to
study. New Zealand English language schools offer two major English
language certificates:
- The
International English Language Testing System (IELTS). This
system is used at most tertiary institutions in the United Kingdom,
Australia, New Zealand and Canada. It is increasingly also used in
the United States. It assesses your ability to read, write, speak
and listen in English.
- The
Princeton Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
This certificate is used in many North American tertiary
institutions. It tests your ability to read, write and listen, and
tests your spoken English separately
