2019 - New General English structure
General English intake dates will be changing in 2019 to further align with the University of Auckland. Students taking General English will benefit from having the same class for periods of at least 3 or 4 weeks, depending on the time of year.
Please find more information and new General English intake dates here and dates and fees 2019 here.
Important points to note:
? Students can only start General English on one of the specified start dates
? Students must enrol for the whole of the General English block.
? Students can enrol in General English for multiple blocks.
Please note that all new General English enrolments starting in 2019 or continuing from 2018 into 2019 will need to be made under the new structure.
General English holiday policy
Under the new General English (GE) structure from 2019, students will no longer have the option of taking a holiday in the middle of their course.
Any General English students who would like to take a maximum of 2 weeks holiday in 2018 can still do so, but they won’t be able to make up any missed weeks in 2019.
If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to let us know at marketing@ela.auckland.ac.nz
BYOD for Academic English and Pathway courses
Please note that students taking Academic English or a Pathway (FCertEAP, EPUS, EPPS) course from Block 4 (starting 16th September) will need to have their own device, ie a laptop or tablet.
If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to let us know at marketing@ela.auckland.ac.nz

Student testimonial - Fang Li, China
Fang Li took a General English course at the ELA. Here is what he had to say about his study experience:
“I studied General English for three months; it has been a great opportunity to improve my daily English communication. General English contains many different topics, which are helpful for confronting your language barriers in the real world. The course has given me a chance to feel more confident in daily communication.”
