Each year the ELA welcomes groups of students from around the world, usually coming from a university, organisation or government body. Group courses can be catered to the institution’s needs and can include integrating students into a General English course or a closed group course or a combination of both.
Proposals for group courses can be provided on request – please contact [email protected]

General English
By integrating into General English classes according to their English level, students can be given the opportunity to meet and study with other students from a range of backgrounds.
General English helps students to improve their ability to communicate in English in social and work situations. The course focuses on the development of communication skills with a balance of speaking, listening, reading and writing tasks.
Closed Groups
Closed group courses only contain members of the participating university or organisation. They have an intensive focus on English for Specific Purposes. Examples of closed group courses include:
- General English
- ELA & Study Abroad at the University of Auckland
- English plus New Zealand Culture

- Teacher Development
- English for Academic Staff
