Course Information

  • Curriculum:  
    Students can start on any Monday. We offer 7 General English levels: Beginner, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper-Intermediate, Advanced and Proficiency. Students are tested and placed carefully into their correct level on their first day at school. Students move up when they have passed the required skills tests. These tests are given on the first and third Wednesday of each month in two of the four skills: reading/speaking and writing/listening. In addition, teachers give regular grammar and vocabulary assessments. At each level we teach essential grammar, vocabulary, functions and we improve students' writing and reading skills. Students also receive a lot of listening and speaking practice and teachers encourage students to practise their speaking, give opinions and ask questions. 1 week is the minimum course length and 48 weeks is the maximum. General English afternoon classes have even more speaking and listening. There is a lot of pair and group work, discussions on varied and interesting topics, fluency activities, songs, videos/dvds, vocabulary and exercises to improve speaking and listening skills used in everyday English. Every Friday afternoon, full-time General English students can choose from conversation classes, a movie, an IELTS or TOEIC practice test or an out of school activity. Part-time morning only students can join the activity but not the other options. All students need to sign up to join these options by Thursday 4pm. The movie is shown in our school movie theatre. The activity options are an extra cost. We try to select low cost activities, usually from NZ$10 but sometimes we offer more expensive activities for around NZ$50. The school library is also open for students wishing to study independently after class hours.  
    Classroom sizes range from 10 to 15 students per class. Every effort is made to keep classes at an ideal size for effective English language instruction.

Testimonial – New Zealand World Wide School of English
  I needed to improve my English skills and have decided to go take courses at World Wide School of English, after researching and getting advices.
 World Wide School of English is located in Auckland City and provided easy access to many useful facilities. I could join the right course for me, because the curriculum was divided into 7 different levels. There were about twelve students in one class. One of the things I really liked about the school is that World Wide School offers various courses. I really liked the Internship Program, in which students could learn English and experience professional life as a farmer, flight attendant or a volunteer. Also, World Wide School of English owned a private theatre in which students can watch English movies for free! Another special program offered by World Wide School is the Combo program. Students can take one course at two different English schools, World Wide School and LSNZ, at the same time. I really enjoyed this course since I could experience two different regions of New Zealand. Not only that, teachers at World Wide School were all very kind and caring. They took care of each students and provided helpful classes. I enjoyed my time at World Wide School and had a great time with my classmates. World Wide School of English offers a fun way to learn, and I recommend this school to anyone who want to learn English!

 뉴질랜드 월드와이드어학원을 다녀왔습니다~~~~
영어를 제대로 배워보자! 하는 마음으로 어학연수를 가기로 결정하고 여러 군데를 알아보고 고민한 뒤 정한 곳 이 뉴질랜드에 월드 와이드 어학원 인데요~ 뉴질랜드 월드 와이드 어학원은 오클랜드 시티 내에 위치하고 있어서 편의시설을 이용하기에도 너무 편했고 커리큘럼도 수준별로 7개의 레벨로 나뉘어져 있어서 제 수준에 딱 맞춰 반을 들어가서 공부를 했어요~~ 월드 와이드는 학급 당 평균 12명정도 학생들이 수업을 듣고 있더라구요~~ 그리고 제가 어학연수생활을 하면서 참 마음에 들었 던게 프로그램들이 다양한 점이에요~
특히 인턴쉽 프로그램들이 좋았는데 농장,승무원,자원봉사 등을 하면서 실무에 필요한 영어를 배울 수가 있었어요^*^그리고 뉴질랜드의 특별한 장점 중 하나는 바로 극장을 가지고 있는 건데요 시설 좋은 극장을 학원에서 인수해서 학생들에게 액티비티 시간에 무료로 영화를 관람할 수 있게 해줘요!
그리고 두번째는 바로 콤보 프로그램이라는 건데 월드와이드와 결연을 맺은 LSNZ어학원과 뉴호라이즌 어학원과 바꿔가며 수업을 들을 수 있다는 점!! 즉, 어학연수 기간 중에 지역이동을 하며 수업을 들을 수 있었어요! 전 이게 가장 독특하고 맘에 들더라구요 ㅎㅎㅎ그 밖에도 선생님들도 너무너무 친절히 수업을 진행해주셨고 각각 학생들 관리도 세심하게 해주시고 같이 공부하는 친구들도 한명도 빠짐없이 다같이 어울리면서 즐겁게 공부 했던거 같아요~~ 뉴질랜드 월드와이드어학원! 영어를 재밌게 배우고자 하시는 분들에게 꼭 추천 하고 싶네요~~

ニュージーランドワールドワイドに行ってきました~
 英語をきちんと学んでみよう!心に決めて語学研修に行くことにしたのですが、色々調べて悩んだ末、決めたのがニュージーランドワールドワイド語学学校でした。
ニュージーランドワールドワイドは、オークランドシティ内にあって色んな施設を利用するのにも便利で、クラスレベルも7つに分かれていていて、私のレベルにぴったりのクラスに入って勉強できました~ワールドワイドは、クラスごとの平均12人程度の学生が授業をとってます。
そして私が語学研修生活をしながら、本当に気に入ったのは様々なプログラムがある点です!
特にインターンシッププログラムが良かったんですが、農場、乗組員、ボランティアなどをしながら、実務に必要な英語をたくさん学べました^^そして特別に良かったもう一つは、劇場があり、学生は無料で映画を見ることができたことです。
そして更にコンボプログラムというのもあり、ワールドワイドと提携を結んだLSNZ学校とニューホライズン学校の授業を聞くことができる!つまり、語学研修期間中に地域を移動をして授業を取ることができました!私はこれが一番ユニークで気に入りました^^
他にも先生たちもとても親切に授業を進めてくださり、個人的にもケアしてくれ、クラスメイトも大満足のようでした。 ニュージーランド ワールドワイド!英語を楽しんで学びたい方に是非お勧めしたいです!

跟大家分享一下我在紐西蘭的生活^^
在學校上課的時候,有點像是在台灣上課的感覺,差別只是台灣的老師大多都是用中文教學,而這邊當然就是都是英文了。而你在選學校的時候也要選華人少的學校,可以讓你在課間時避免說太多的中文,但是像我選的學校主要是日本人和韓國人,所以上課時很少有機會和中國人說中文,只能用英文和大家交談這絕對是好事。
出國回來後,我自己覺得最有成長的就是我們一般人最弱的聽跟說了,聽力在天天的轟炸之下,一定會漸入佳境,加上你如果有心的話,多看看電視的影集或是新聞,因為國外的電視都沒有字幕的,你就只能咬著牙努力聽,聽多了適應了那速度就會有所長進的。加上每天在學校老師會教新的東西,尤其式些生活上的用法,你有時候會發現在電視中就出現了,那你以前不懂的東西就變成懂了。
最重要的當然還是自己要出去去體驗看看,才能知道其中的感受了。只要你不要怕,勇敢的說,就算你的文法、發音再差,他們其實都會了解你想表達的意思,也會很樂意的跟你說話的~像一般語言學校第一天會有測驗分班,筆試的部分並不難,口試的話,只要你敢說不要有很離譜的差錯的話,通常分班時就可以分到滿高等級的班級了唷~不過其實我剛到的時候,什麼都不怕的亂說,一直都可以說的很順,但是當我學越多,知道越多常見的錯誤或是正確的文法時,我有時候反而會慢下來的想怎麼樣才是正確的說法,經過這樣的練習之後就越來越進步了!!
