New Zealand Certificate in English Language (Level 4)

Descripción del curso

Want to improve your English language skills? Learning English at Otago Polytechnic means that you can prepare for further study, make new friends and experience New Zealand culture.

You will learn English from experienced teachers who are very patient and understanding. Class sizes are small and you will be able to take part in small groups to practise your speaking. You will also meet native speakers and listen to guest speakers.

The New Zealand Certificate in English Language is a nationally-recognised qualification. This means that you can use it to transfer to other institutes in New Zealand. It also provides a good pathway into academic study at Otago Polytechnic.

Successful completion of Level 4 will allow you to apply for most of our diploma or degree qualifications.

Within the Level 4 programme, there are strands in General English, English for the Workplace and English for Academic Purposes. Academic writing and study skills are also included.

The qualification also offers a flexible study programme of English language/ESOL courses so you can start at any time during the semester.

Please note: Depending on your situation, you may not be enrolled into the Certificate level that you apply for. When you arrive at Otago Polytechnic, you will be tested and we will then place you at the right level.

You will learn for 23 hours a week with your teacher. You will also learn for 10 hours a week by yourself, guided by your teacher.
