General English

Worldwide School’s general English classes are split into up to nine levels based on the Common European Framework, and are suitable for anyone from absolute beginners to advanced-level students.

Our classes are designed to be dynamic and encourage student participation at all levels.

Utilizing a variety of texts and interactive materials, morning classes cover the four basic language skills; reading, writing, listening and speaking. The classes help students develop a better understanding of the complexities of grammar, build their knowledge of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions, and better understand nuance.

The afternoon classes offer students the opportunity to explore other aspects of English language learning. Classes focusing on communicative skills, pronunciation or writing skills are on offer, as well as classes for English in the context of business or work in the travel or hospitality sectors, and exam skills.

Students may enroll to start at the beginning of any week during the year, with the exception of Christmas and New Year and can study for as few or as many weeks as they require.

Build Everyday Fluency, Fast

If you want practical communication skills for travel, work, or daily life, our General English course is for you. Dynamic teachers use real-world tasks, up-to-date media, and plenty of speaking time so you think—and laugh—in English, not just study it. Choose a different afternoon elective class and make the most of your English classes in Auckland. From survival phrases to presentation skills, you’ll cover grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary while our ESOL New Zealand curriculum tracks your progress each week. Finish with an internationally recognised certificate and the confidence to start conversations anywhere.
