Course description

English is the international language of business. We have therefore developed a special, flexible, 12-module course designed to rapidly improve your business communication skills. Every 12 weeks, we recycle the modules with a fresh syllabus. This means students who wish to study longer and consolidate and expand their knowledge of a particular area, can do so without repeating any material.

The “English for business” course consists of 6 lessons per day. The first 4 lessons (Lessons 1 - 4) are the same as the lessons in our “General 20” course. During these 4 lessons you will rapidly improve your communication skills in a variety of everyday situations. In 2 of these 4 lessons, you will cover the following areas: grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation. In a further 2 of these 4 lessons, you will concentrate on: speaking, listening, reading, writing. You will use a textbook in conjunction with a wide variety of materials and exercises including roleplays, authentic materials, newspapers and magazines.

After the first 4 lessons (lessons 5–6), you will take a range of electives to rapidly improve your business communication skills. In each module, through a combination of written exercises, presentations, dialogues and role-plays in realistic business situations, you will practice and improve your skills in: business vocabulary and “buzz words”, email, memo and letter writing, negotiating, interviewing and telephoning in English.

"A very exciting expirience!"

Simon Rebbe, student from Austria

I really enjoyed it because it was very structured and I never did not knew what to do or what is happening. The teachers were very engaged and had a big focus on speaking exercises. They also tried to make the lessons fun with little games. My house family was perfect in my opinion. They were very caring and nice.

"Short but intense."

Monica D, student from Afghanistan

My experience has been positive; learned a wide range of new lexis, the teacher and teaching were dinamic; Location was quite close to center and located with good communication; facilies were good although not always the materials and continuity of teachers substituting. Cofee and tea machines needed. Activities for the period were not updated in the corkboard and
we missed a variety of offers during the week and weekend; housing was correct. Not enough towel supply.

"It was very cool for me to be with people who don’t speak English because it allowed me to only speak in English and not in French. I really like when we did other activities with the other students I want to say a thank you for the reception and to Steve for helping me become more fluent in English. I hope to come back to this school very soon. Ethan."

Ethan Tapi, student from French Polynesia

I really liked doing activities with the other classmates because I think it's a good way to practice speaking I really liked everything during my week of classes.

"Amazing experience"

Marcin Koziol, student from Poland

Quite a large school, that gives a lot of opportunities to learn. I had normal classes and I quickly became part of a family. It was like with a new family, lot of active learning games, discussions, conversations with a rich activities program. I also had private aviation lessons, made just like I wanted them to be with a great teacher.

I met great people in my class as well as in the school. We spent a lot of time together everyday after classes. It couldn't be better experience.

"Discovery"

Delvene Bernigaud, student from France

LSI is a very good school to practice English. And the staff is very helpful and listening when you got some questions.

I felt immediately comfortable during my first day and I met very nice people there.

That was a great experience even if my staying was pretty short. However in only 2 weeks I really improved my English with the teachers but also in my home stay.

I definitely recommend that school!

"I like LSI !"

Samuel Stasiov, student from Slovakia

Teachers are trying to do the best what is in their capabilities. Maybe some of a games are not such effective way of learning but I am very satisfied by LSI school. Overall effectivness of learning is quite on high level. If I would come again to New Zealand to study, I am sure my choice will be LSI again.

"I have improved my English skills well in these 6 weeks"

Erika Marion, student from Switzerland

Actually, I appreciated everything about this school and the accommodation. Both are absolutely recommended.
What I liked less was the undercooled classrooms.
The classmates were all very pleasant. Since I undertook a 3-week NZ trip after school, I did not take part in the trips organized by the school.

"It was not I had expected"

Marine ALLAFORT, student from France

Student, teachers and facilities was quite good. It is a good school to stay for a long time. However, I went into this school because I wanted to do the nursing course, which was not possible because not enough student to open this course. So I did another course, which was General English and IELTS preparation. Even if I think that the lessons given was nicely done and complete I think it is a good course for people who want the IELTS with an average 6 or 6.5 but for me (7 in each part) it was not enough and I feel bored during the lesson.

"LSI in Auckland: a very interesting human and cultural experience."

Hélène-Marie Thérien, student from Canada

I greatly appreciated each moment I had spent at LSI in Auckland. As many other LSI's students, I was staying at the City Lodge Hotel , a few hundred meters behind the school: I just have to cross a very nice little park to reach the school. The accommodation was perfect for me: private bathroom and refrigerator but shared kitchen.

The first morning at LSI was devoted to a presentation of the administrative staff, a visit of the place and, more importantly, an evaluation of our English level so as to be assigned to the appropriate classes. This first contact, efficient and sympathetic, set the table for the rest of my stay.

I was assigned to two different groups of between 7 and 15 persons, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I liked the fact that the groups were relatively small, that I had to join the groups on-the-fly and my classmates were all younger than me. The teachers were all very competent, friendly and generous and the atmosphere in the class, specially that in the morning, was very warm so that even after a week, you feel like losing a friend when someone was leaving. Although I still have a lot to learn, my two weeks were highly beneficial.

Although several activities are offered during the weeks and the week-ends, I think the offer could be even more extended and more diversified. Especially when you only stay for a couple of weeks, you don't have much time to master all the possibilities of a country and you need help for transportation or for identifying cultural specialties or natural beauties.
I might have two negative comments, although of very minor importance. First, the student's room could potentially be redesigned so as to facilitate the access to the sink, the refrigerator, the cupboards and the microwave ovens at lunch time. Second, the WiFi access should be reliable at the school and free at the City Lodge.

"Good mix between speaking, writing, grammar and reading. And the level test at the first day is very good. So I came in a class where we did these things where I had problems."

Lena Proels, student from Germany

The teacher was very good! He explained everything and was always friendly. I felt very comfortable in my class. I only didn't like that the class started nearly ten minutes late every day cause most of the students came in so late. The home-stay family I had was very lovely and I liked to stay with them. They gave me my own big room. We had delicious dinner together and did some things on the weekend.

"Good teacher but not the specific course stated in my request"

Ziyue Chen, student from New Zealand

The class is quite excellent and the atmosphere is motivating and active. The teachers are both good and they help me a lot. However, the facilities there are lacking a little bit, and the location is not good since there is a red light district. Anyway, I like the communication during the class.

Raphaelle Page, student from Switzerland

My class was perfect! Everybody helped each others when we had a problem! The teacher, Stephanie, is great! I really enjoyed the lessons and I've learnt a lot of good things.
Maybe there is not enough space for having lunch or just relax with friends. I really enjoyed the time in my homestay too! Not too far away, nice people, nice house! Good memories from my time in Auckland.

Lyubomir Ivanov, student from Bulgaria

I had a great class with very nice and smart people. I met a lot of friends and still have contact with them. I had two teachers and both of them was real professionals. Location was very good. I could go with train and 2 buses, around 30-40 min. I go only on soccer and Wednesday party. The house was very good. I had private room, very clean and family try everything to feel comfortable and calm.

"Like a Brazilian class"

Liliane Sena da Silva Pinheiro, student from Brazil

I just spent a week at LSI. I was returning from a work trip at Australia, and decided to have the experience of studying in another country. I´ve studied English from age 10 to 17 in Brazil. And, to my surprise, my third-world country wasn´t so bad at teaching English! The week I spent at LSI was very similar to Brazilian English classes. I confess that I got a little disappointed with the school´s method of teaching English to students of such different countries and cultures. I was expecting for the classes to be more dynamic, with less book work and more street practicing. The classes in LSI for a foreign student are a little boring. And, I can´t forget to talk about LSI´s mistake of booking me in a homestay with pets (I had informed in the application that I am allergic). So, I had to find by myself a hotel (Kiwi) and pay more for my accommodation.
