Auckland is New Zealand’s busiest and most modern city, and offers a blend of stunning beaches and urban living that many students love. The Intensive English course from EF Auckland represents their most time-demanding course, at 32 classes per week, but is also the school’s most popular course due to the undeniable results that they produce with their students.

The methodology used in their classrooms is general in character and aims to develop all language skills, ranging from formal aspects such as grammar to more informal abilities such as correct use of phrasal verbs and the subtleties of correct pronunciation. The Intensive course is most commonly taken by those who are applying for academic or professional opportunities, but it can be taken by anybody who is determined to take their English to the next level.

This option includes ten Special Interest Lessons, which are classes specifically tailored to any subject of your choosing. EF promises that with 6 weeks of dedicated and earnest study on this course, you will be able to go up by one-course level.
