Accommodation

  • HOMESTAY
    SLEC thoroughly evaluates the accommodation that it advertises and can recommend them to be suitable for students while they are studying with us. As Queenstown is relatively small, all of these families are known by the school and are an integral part of the college. Most of the students choose to stay with one of homestay families and if the students are staying on in Queenstown SLEC can assist them
    in finding accommodation.
    Living with New Zealand families gives students the opportunity of experiencing our way of life. Homestays provide dinner, bed and breakfast Monday through Friday, plus lunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
    Homestay includes:
    • Bed, dinner and breakfast 5 days a week (Monday to Friday).
    • Bed, dinner, lunch and breakfast 2 days a week (Weekends).

紐西蘭留學日記~~
想跟大家分享一下，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。
