How it works
ENZ and Seoul MOE work closely with Learn English Live (LEL), who will:
-
Coordinate all communication with New Zealand schools.
-
Match exchange times with Korean schools and New Zealand schools.
-
Provide pre-training for New Zealand teachers and students.
-
Facilitate sessions using topics tailored for digital exchanges ranging from culture & language sharing, United Nation SDG projects, STEM learning, global citizenship and much more.
In previous programmes, NZ teachers appreciated not having to prepare or run the sessions themselves—LEL takes care of everything.
Is this right for your school?
This programme is a great fit for schools that:
-
Are looking to build long-term sister-school relationships with Korean schools, especially through social studies, cultural/global studies, languages or global citizenship education.
-
See value in soft marketing opportunities, promoting their school in Korea in a meaningful, low-pressure and no cost way, and are interested in attracting potential international students over the long term.

Background
ENZ has partnered with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (Seoul MOE) to run digital classroom exchanges since 2021 with ENZ education technology partner Learn English Live (LEL) . These exchanges have created meaningful connections between students, teachers, and schools in both countries. NZ students have had the opportunity to connect with their Korean peers, build global friendships, and experience cross-cultural learning—all from their own classrooms.

Each participating education provider in the ISB survey receives a customised report based on their own international student survey results provided to i-Graduate which details their performance in relation to other participants in New Zealand, and an overall global benchmark. Providers use these results to make informed decisions to enhance the international student experience and drive successful recruitment and marketing strategies.
ENZ, who funds the ISB survey, receives overall aggregate results for each education sector, but does not have access to individual provider results. ENZ works with sectors to ensure the experience of international students in New Zealand enhances our reputation as a high quality, safe, and welcoming education destination.
