ELA celebrated the graduation of our University Pathway and Academic English students at the University of Auckland.
A special thank you to Anna Frisk, Senior Regional Manager from the International Office, for sharing an inspiring message and helping students prepare for the next stage of their journey.
After 10–30 weeks of hard work and dedication, our students have reached an important milestone. It was fantastic to hear about the diverse paths ahead — from study across almost every faculty at the University to one student pursuing a firefighting career in Australia!
Congratulations to all our graduates. We wish you every success in your future studies and careers, and hope you carry the friendships, experiences, and memories from ELA with you wherever you go.

Our next Pathway intake (Block 4) begins on 7 September, with applications open until 12 July. This is an ideal start date for students planning to progress to a University of Auckland degree in early 2027.
We are also accepting applications for our Online EPPS programme, running from 26 October to 15 January. This option provides a flexible study pathway and leads directly into programmes starting at the University in Semester 1, 2027.
With both in-person and online pathways available, this is an excellent time to support students in planning their next steps and securing a place.

Chris, a favourite teacher for many ELA students, runs a Listening Workshop that gives students the opportunity to practise listening to content similar to real university lectures—helping them understand the main ideas, follow discussions more effectively, and build confidence in academic English.
“Listening skills are essential for university students. ELA runs a weekly Listening Workshop where students can practise lecture-style listening and develop other key academic skills.” said Chris.
Through guided activities and interactive practice, students strengthen their listening comprehension, note-taking skills, vocabulary recognition, and critical thinking in a supportive learning environment.
ELA offers a range of weekly workshops designed to help students develop practical English skills, gain confidence, and make the most of their learning experience both inside and outside the classroom.

He represented ELA at a full day of events and seminars, connecting with prospective students.
A little trivia ... “Belo Horizonte” means “Beautiful Horizon”—a nod to the stunning mountain views surrounding the city.
Next stop… São Paulo
