Sobre Rotorua English Language Academy

We are a private English language school in the central North Island of New Zealand. We have capacity for 180 students, with General English at all levels, as well as TOEIC, TOEFL and IELTS preparation. We have an extensive Activities programme, as Rotorua has beautiful lakes, forest areas for walking, adventure activities, water activities and a large variety of tourist attractions. We usually have a good number of senior students (aged 50+), and we also provide High School Preparation, English with Activities, English with Horse-riding and English with Spa Treatments. The school has been established for 15 years, and is a member of English New Zealand and Quality English. It has built a strong reputation for excellent teaching and good quality programmes. Rotorua is a tourist centre, and we are lucky to have a lot of Homestay families who are very experienced in offering a high quality Homestay experience. Rotorua has a population of just 65,000. It is a city in which there is plenty to do, but it is also small enough for students to be able to focus on their study. We usually have about 12 nationalities in the school at any time.

General English Course

Mornings – 3 hours each morning (15 hours per week)

Our General English course will help you improve your English as quickly as possible, whether you need English for your work or for your personal use. You will be in a multi-national class with other students of the same level, using the most modern course books and materials, such as the latest versions of Global and New English File. All our regular teachers have the University of Cambridge CELTA or Trinity Cert TESOL, and bring a wide range of teaching experience to their classes. We emphasise the importance of helping students to communicate fluently and confidently in English, and will work with you to improve your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. The course allows you either to study just General English, or to combine this with other specialised courses in the afternoon.

Afternoons – 2 hours each afternoon (Monday – Thursday)

The integrated skills afternoon programme is designed to develop all four major skills – reading and writing, listening and speaking – and the various sub-skills that they involve. We aim to integrate (connect together) these skills so that you achieve the right balance between understanding (receptive skills) and using (productive skills) in real contexts and for real purposes. The tasks you undertake in class will develop your vocabulary in various topic areas, increase your fluency and confidence and provide plenty of opportunities for feedback on your accuracy.

On Friday afternoons, students have the choice of joining the Friday afternoon activity with a RELA tutor, or self-study under the supervision of a RELA tutor, using audio and video recordings, computer programmes, selected websites, multi-media materials to supplement your course book and the school library of graded readers. Or, you can choose to have some free time to pursue your own interests.

Study for the IELTS course in New Zealand

At RELA, our IELTS preparation course runs all through the year, so you can join it at any time. Your teachers have a very good understanding of the requirements of the test, and will help you develop your language skills in the most important areas. Our IELTS classes are usually quite small (with a maximum of 12 students) and you will be in a very focused class.

RELA offers IELTS exam training at 2 different levels. Entry to either class depends on a student’s current level of English. After a student enrols at RELA, he/she will take a test and be placed in the appropriate class.

The full time programme (23 hours per week) is:
Mornings: Monday-Friday 8.30-12.00 – a language development class at your level, teaching grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, speaking and pronunciation
Afternoons: Monday-Thursday 1.00-3.00 – an IELTS preparation class designed to teach you exam taking strategies and familiarise you with all aspects of the exam

A part-time programme would be IELTS training only, in the afternoons (8 hours a week) if your level is high enough to enter one of those classes; or a language development class in the mornings (15 hours) if your current English level is not yet high enough to do the IELTS training.

High School Preparation

Our high school preparation programme is for students planning to go to a New Zealand High School for the first time.

Why do the High School Preparation Programme?

It will help students to understand and adapt to New Zealand High Schools.
Students will find it easier to cope with the language and customs of a high school.
The Aims of the Programme

We have designed the programme with the following aims in mind

To increase the level of students’ general English, so they are better able to cope with everyday situations both in and out of the classroom.
To increase students’ range of basic vocabulary
To introduce students to a variety of everyday school situations
To introduce students to common and useful classroom language
To teach a variety of study skills
Classes are run depending on the needs of the students at the time. In the morning, students join a General English class at the appropriate level. It is very important that students get this experience in the General English classes. These classes give students a sound base on which to build their English. They not only learn grammar, but also do a lot of speaking, listening, reading and writing. It is also in these General English classes, that students learn a lot about New Zealand life and customs. As well, students have the chance to build friendships with people from all around the world.

In the afternoons if there are enough students who have not already started at High School in New Zealand, then students may study High School Preparation. In these classes, they may learn vocabulary associated with a number of different subjects studied at high school. Students will be taught about life at high schools, some of the rules they will encounter and how to mix and make friends more easily. We also have ex-students come in to talk about their experiences and to answer any questions. If appropriate, we can visit a local high school. The programme is able to meet the needs of the students who are taking it, and requests for other topics can be considered as well.

It is the main tourist destination in New Zealand and has a wide range of tourist-based activities from spectacular geysers and mudpools, to farm shows and Maori culture. The city is just 3 hours south of Auckland and one hour from both Lake Taupo and Tauranga.
