To prepare for your further studies in an English-medium institution, you need to develop your language skills for more than just achieving a good IELTS or TOEFL score. Your first priority in your English-language studies is probably to gain admission into your higher education course. However, it is just as important to improve your English so that you can start your further studies feeling confident and comfortable, and give yourself the best chance of success in your course.
Languages International's English for University courses are organised around practical assignments, doing research, giving presentations, and writing long essays and reports on various topics. The English for University courses run at 3 levels: Lower, Intermediate and Higher. You need to complete the Higher level to manage the language requirements of degree-level study. In addition to class hours, students have at least 3 hours per week of teacher-supervised independent learning in our Learning Centre.

Studying at languages international has been an incredible experience. Not only do I have nice and professional teachers who help my English improve unconsciously, but I also get to meet new friends from all over the world and experience the cultural diversity. Moreover, I found our learning centre particularly helpful. There are a variety of books and study materials for a range of levels, and there are also teachers who are always ready to help us. In addition, I improved my buisness Engish level to be more professional through the interesting courses. Anyway, I really enjoy my time at languages international and I'm never gonna forget this experience.

studied General EnglishTanks
a journey that is both linguistic and cultural. a stay in auckland in a school where I was able to enjoy hospitality from its administrative staff and teachers who impressed me as soon as I arrived with a procedure of integration of the premises and the educational system but also the hospitality of the surrounding environment, with the University of Auckland or the city of Auckland, where I used to go for lunches, dinners or just to visit and The Auckland Museum is not far from the city, which will leave me with memories of the smiles of eternal glances and memories, a school that rubs a lovely park full of history, but also a school that offered me the opportunity to meet people (students like me) but different nationalities of different cultures and different mentalities with whom I could exchange and Share , people who opened my mind of simple but unique people who have become my friends and now my family, people who have given me their stories and knowledge, people with whom I have been able to deepen my cultural and linguistic knowledge ...
so I would be eternally grateful to this school which without it I would not have been where I am today
