The study programme for this course consists of General English classes in the mornings and Practical English classes in the afternoons. Students are taught Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing skills in the mornings, while in the afternoons the students get to practice these skills. The study period at WIE is only 4 days per week. This gives them an opportunity to travel around North Island from Friday to Sunday.  WIE is situated in Hamilton, a centrally located city in the North Island, within short driving distance to some of New Zealand’s famous landmark beaches, lakes, mountains, popular tourist destinations and major recreational destinations on the North Island. Some of these destinations are Auckland, Rotorua, Tauranga, Raglan, Taupo, New Plymouth and Waitomo Caves, with attractions such as geothermal pools, volcanic mud pools, geysers, underwater aquarium, glowworm caves, farm shows, nature parks and Maori villages.
