Nelson English Centre About the

  • Nelson English Centre started in 1995 with the goal of being a high quality school in one of most beautiful parts of New Zealand. Since then over 3,500 students from more than 20 countries have succeeded in improving their English here. Nelson is one of three places in New Zealand where students can sit Cambridge examinations and Nelson English Centre has developed a reputation as a preparation centre for Cambridge FCE and CAE. Nelson English Centre was accepted into ENGLISH NEW  ZEALAND in 1999 and IALC in 2008. The school cooperates with Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology  (NMIT) for further studies in tourism, IT and business.Our intention was to build a top quality educational institute in one of the most beautiful areas of New Zealand. We are committed to delivering a high standard of service to our students and have gained a reputation for consistent, quality teaching and excellent pastoral support. Our school has personality. We are not a chain school, but owned by a teaching Director helped by proud Nelson staff. The school has a ‘buzz’' and you will have the time of your life. Nelson is small and lively. It has a campus feeling with cafes and style. People are friendly and talk to you in English. Most variety. Golden beaches, forests and mountains one hour from the city centre. We can’t think of any place in New Zealand with so much variety.

想問學校住宿的問題??
Q: 明年冬天的時候打算申請去 語言學校念語言課程，想請問宿舍提供哪些類型的宿舍呢?? 是否為一人一間的形式?? 還是兩個人一間的形式呢?? 可否有照片先看一下大概的環境?? A: 您好，感謝您來訊息詢問，關於 語言學校住宿問題為您做個解答。 納爾遜英語中心提供寄宿家庭計劃。尼爾森有很多精彩的寄宿家庭。他們有一個組織嚴密的系統，以確保學生獲得最好的體驗。寄宿家庭的生活與新西蘭家庭在兩個環境當中練習英文。寄宿家庭提供早餐和晚餐，週一至週五的早餐，午餐和晚餐，週六和週日。學生將擁有自己的房間裡面會有一張床，學習桌等。大多數寄宿家庭步行到學校或騎自行車或乘坐公交車不到三十分鐘。所有寄宿家庭都不同，有的已放在網上了。納爾遜英語中心集中於使學生能享受權益。尼爾森的寄宿家庭協調員可幫助學生可能有任何疑問或問題。

授業について
Ｑ、入学してからの流れを教えて下さい。

Ａ、はい。流れはこの様になっています。
まず選択したエンフォレックスのスペイン語学校への受講開始日（初日）、あなたに適切なクラスで受講していただくためにレベルチェックテスト（筆記とオーラル）を受けていただきます。

レベルチェックテストの筆記に関しては、毎週月曜日レッスン開始1時間前に行っています。尚、スペイン語入門者はこれらのテストを受けていただく必要はありません。

レッスンは毎週月曜日から金曜日、9時半から14時半または14時半から18時半に行われます。また、13時半から行われる文化ワークショップは、午前・午後両学生が参加できるようになっています。 午後のセッションは、通常、スーパーインテンシブコースに当てられます。*

レッスンは午前または午後のブロックに予定されますが、午前・午後どちらになるか、その保証はいたしかねますのでご了承ください。コースレベル、そのコース受講希望者数等に因ります。最終的には、受講日初日のレベルチェックテスト後、学校側で決定いたします。

1レッスンは55分で、各クラスには2人の担任教師が付き、2レッスン毎に交代します。

留學日記~跟大家分享一下我在紐西蘭的生活
在學校的時間，上課其實就像在台灣英文課一樣，差別只是台灣的老師大多都是用中文教學，而這邊當然就是都是英文了。而你在選學校的時候也要慎選中國人少的學校，說實話，中國人實在是太多了，不管你到哪個地方一定都會遇到中國人，這時候選一個中國人少的學校，可以讓你在課間時避免說太多的中文，但是像我選的學校主要是日本人和韓國人，所以上課時很少有機會和中國人說中文，只能用英文和大家交談這絕對是好事。
出國回來後，我自己覺得最有成長的就是我們一般人最弱的聽跟說了，聽力在天天的轟炸之下，一定會漸入佳境，加上你如果有心的話，多看看電視的影集或是新聞，因為國外的電視都沒有字幕的，你就只能咬著牙努力聽，聽多了適應了那速度就會有所長進的。加上每天在學校老師會教新的東西，尤其式些生活上的用法，你有時候會發現在電視中就出現了，那你以前不懂的東西就變成懂了
最重要的當然還是自己要出去去體驗看看，才能知道其中的感受了。只要你不要怕，勇敢的說，就算你的文法、發音再差，他們其實都會了解你想表達的意思，也會很樂意的跟你說話的～像一般語言學校第一天會有測驗分班，筆試的部分並不難，口試的話，只要你敢說不要有很離譜的差錯的話，通常分班時就可以分到滿高等級的班級了唷～不過其實我剛到的時候，什麼都不怕的亂說，一直都可以說的很順，但是當我學越多，知道越多常見的錯誤或是正確的文法時，我有時候反而會慢下來的想怎麼樣才是正確的說法。
