English and sports in NZ

Teaming English language tuition with sports tuition is a logical step to take in New Zealand. With about a fifth of the North Island and two-thirds of the South Island mountainous, these mountains afford great skiing and snowboarding opportunities while “sunken” mountain ranges have created fjords and bays that lend themselves to kayaking and white water rafting.

In our Spotlight article in the July issue of Language Travel Magazine, we talk to a number of language schools that offer dedicated English and sports packages and finds out what is available and which sort of students enrol on these programmes. Targeted options also include rugby, golf and surfing.
