General English
General English
Morning classes
From 9am to 12.15pm Monday to Friday
Students can start on any Monday for General English and IELTS classes. We usually 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 our minimum course length.
Afternoon classes
From 1.30 to 3.30pm Monday to Thursday with Friday options.
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.
(Afternoon ONLY classes are not possible)
Friday afternoon options
Every Friday afternoon, full-time General English students can choose from a special class (conversation or grammar or writing or pronunciation), 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 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.

IELTS Preparation Course
IELTS Preparation Course
We run 2 kinds of IELTS classes at Worldwide School:
- IELTS Preparation and Intensive IELTS
The IELTS preparation class at Worldwide School is offered for full time students and is available to start every Monday. This course is at the same tuition rate as General English and there is no extra fee for course material.
The Intensive IELTS class at Worldwide School is offered in 8 week cycles and it is strongly recommended that students enrol for the full 8 weeks. Course intakes are week 1 and week 5 and the minimum booking period is 4 weeks. Students must study full time.
This course is at the same tuition rate as General English but students are required to buy an IELTS text book.
Both are full-time classes open to students who are from Intermediate to Advanced level. IELTS preparation is for students who are not yet upper-intermediate level and ready for Academic English, but are interested in a more academic English focus with their studies and possibly doing the IELTS exam in the future. This course will be suitable for Intermediate level students.
Intensive IELTS is for students requiring an IELTS score of 5.0 to 6.5 or more and want to take the exam at the end of the course.
The IELTS exam is produced by Cambridge ESOL and is available at least monthly in Auckland.
Our classes run from Monday to Friday Students are also expected to sign up for practice tests on a Friday afternoon.
Aims
The Intensive IELTS class has 5 main aims:
ㆍto give students a thorough overview of the IELTS exam format
ㆍto give students opportunities to practise IELTS tasks and example questions
ㆍto improve students’ overall proficiency by developing reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills
ㆍto build students’ knowledge of vocabulary specific to the IELTS exam
ㆍto review the grammar necessary for students to perform well in IELTS
Students wishing to do IELTS preparation outside these dates can choose the Self Access option and study in the Library.
Offshore pretests are available.
* IELTS courses may have higher class maximums than other classes at Worldwide School.

TOEIC Preparation Course
TOEIC Preparation Course
Worldwide School offers TOEIC preparation classes as part of its afternoon options (all students study in General English classes in the morning). This class is open to Intermediate to Advanced level students. We have a pretest available if students would like to know their level or suitability for this programme before arriving in New Zealand. The TOEIC exam is produced by ETS and is available fortnightly in Auckland at a cost of NZ$190.00. Students also need to pay for the TOEIC textbook before commencing the programme (NZ$70.00). The school Library has a lot of TOEIC practice materials so students who are taking the test are encouraged to study by themselves outside of class times as well. Full TOEIC practice tests are offered Friday on afternoons, free of charge. A minimum of 6 students is required to run this class.

Business English
Business English
Business English is a General English AFTERNOON OPTION (10 hours per week including practice tests) for higher level students who usually take it as part of a full-time intensive class. The fees are the same as Intensive English full time. We prefer students take the whole class but less is possible. If students wish to take the BEC exam, they must sign up for the entire 10 week class.
Our Business English course follows the BEC Vantage curriculum.
Subjects that the class covers include writing memos, emails, letters and faxes; business vocabulary, using the telephone and internet for business and using business documents and forms. Speaking is an important part of the class. Students will learn how to introduce themselves, how to talk in front of a group and how to discuss a product or a business topic and how to write and deliver a business presentation.
Students will also learn how different kinds of businesses are organised and run. This class is highly recommended for anyone who wants to use English for their job or study for a business diploma/degree in the future.
We can prepare students to take the internationally recognised BEC (Business English Certificate) exam. The BEC exams are a part of the Cambridge ESOL test suite and are currently recognised in over 19 countries. There are three BEC exams - BEC Preliminary (Intermediate), BEC Vantage (Upper-Intermediate) and BEC Higher (Advanced-Proficiency), which are designed to test.
* When available, the BEC exam is recommended, but not compulsory.
* Offshore pretests are available for agents.

English plus Internship Courses
English plus Internship Courses
Internship and volunteer working experience in New Zealand. Internships for international students in New Zealand.
This option is available for students who need or would like to do voluntary work experience and would like to do it in New Zealand. Students need to contact Worldwide School or their agent before enrolling so that their appropriateness for this programme can be assessed.
After a period of English study, which will vary depending on the ability of the applicant (minimum 4 weeks full time), the student will be placed as an intern in a New Zealand firm, relevant to their study, for up to a maximum of 5 months. A high level of English is required.
Our Internship programme is operated on a case by case basis, which means that an applicant must first send an application to Worldwide school. This should include:
ㆍSector they wish to do an Internship. They should include more than one Internship possibility.
ㆍCV of applicant - including previous work experience and study.
ㆍTime of year they would like to come and length of English study and Internship.
This is all that is needed initially. The alternative is to complete the application form for Worldwide School and send this along with a basic CV.
Once we have accepted the applicant at Worldwide School:
References from the applicant's University, school or employer should be sent. In business and professional positions, it is necessary the student have at least one reference from an employer, including what they did during the job or internship.
It is necessary for the host company to interview the student before a placement is confirmed. This is as much for the student as for the company because it is a chance for them to see if the project and placement is suitable for them.
It is very important that our internship applicant's understand that the Host Company will ask them to complete tasks not directly related to their degree. For example; a marketing graduate with typing skills may do some data entry for their company as well as assisting and observing an advertising campaign. It is quite a large commitment for companies to accept a student because they take up time of at least one staff member, and if the Intern is taking some of the workload, the programme benefits the company as well as the Intern.
As each student’s application is individually assessed, an area not included with the placement possibilities list may still be possible. The exception is Medicine. Under New Zealand law Internship's in medicine are not allowed.
