General English

Our general English classes help with speaking, listening, reading, writing and numeracy for everyday communications and social interaction. Students develop an understanding of key Māori words, how to pronounce them and Māori culture. We have five levels of English classes, from absolute beginner to intermediate. Students learn in a multicultural group with other adult students. Where spaces are available, learners are able to continue classes for free after finishing their PELT allocation.
