Second language user Zhixin (Carol) visited our office looking for a class which would fit in with her study with a need to get a job after completing tertiary study. Her written and spoken English was very good but she lacked confidence to believe that she could get a job.
Read what Carol said and how she has succeeded:
“As a second language speaker, I suffer from not being confidant with my English, and this causes nervousness, especially during interviews or other important events. Nervousness decreases my English ability. It creates a bad circle, and eventually I lose confidence and the ability to trust myself.
The interview and discussion with you, was incredibly beneficial- I could not say enough thanks to you to help me find the confidence. I hope other English learners could gain their confidence too.
I did an interview after visiting you and I think I did well during the interview. Now I have obtained a full- time job.”

They and their families are finally being settled into the communities of South and East Auckland with the help of the New Settlers Family and Community Trust www.nfact.co.nz... . Their priorities are learning English and settling their children into schools. They have jumped at the chance to learn either on-line with Zoom or face-to-face in classes where they can meet and make new friends. You may have a new neighbour who looks different to you. Remember, greetings are universal and a warm, welcoming “hello” and “how are you”? will make all the difference to new, New Zealanders and their families feeling comfortable in their new communities. You might also share some Maori greetings – their children will be learning these at school.
Learner Alaa worked with home tutor Jenny Naus over 2 years and went to on-line classes during lockdowns to improve her English. She starts her new job as a pharmacy assistant at Auckland Hospital on Monday 28 March. We wish her all the best.
Learners from our Papatoetoe ESOL literacy classes learnt about ANZAC Day. They made some poppies and visited the Papatoetoe Historical Society Museum where they learnt how medals were crafted and about the RSA.
Thank you to the Papatoetoe Historical Society Museum for having us.
