Language study trip to Australia: learn English between the barren outback and surfing and diving paradises

A language study trip to Australia is both a booster for your English language skills and a good basis for exploring this fascinating continent on the other side of the world. In Australia, you can expect the most diverse natural landscapes from bone-dry deserts to the colorful Great Barrier Reef, a unique animal world, cities that have been shaped by many different immigrant groups, aboriginal dream trails that have been walked since the Stone Age, an informal lifestyle and much more.

The majority of English language schools in Australia are located on Australia's east coast, for example in Cairns, Noosa, Brisbane, Byron Bay and Sydney, but there are also a few in the south (in Adelaide) and west (in Perth). They offer a wide range of more intensive and less intensive language courses. As a rule, the language schools also organize accommodation in a hall of residence or with a family connection in Australian host families.

When it comes to a language study trip to Australia, Aussi enthusiasts and fans from Switzerland often opt for a school program with half-day language lessons and special leisure programs - depending on the location, for example "English and tennis", "English and golf" and above all "English and surfing" - or travel the huge country following a more intensive language course lasting several weeks.

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to learn English in Australia, you can enquire about demi-pair courses, i.e. courses where you go to school for half the day. The other half of the day you work as a babysitter in a host family and receive free board and lodging (similar to an au pair).

These are just a few aspects of learning English and language schools in Australia. The best way to plan a language study trip to Australia that suits you is to contact a language travel provider. The providers on our website know their partner schools worldwide well and regularly check their course and accommodation offers. They will be happy to advise you personally.

Learning English in Australia is suitable for anyone who would like to travel far afield, combine a language study trip with a sports, culture and/or adventure trip, meet people from all over the world and immerse themselves in Australia's laid-back lifestyle.

Questions and answers

Australia is very sparsely populated. Most of the language schools are located in the cities along the seemingly endless Australian coastline. You should therefore consider which region attracts you the most, as a trip by car to the other end of the continent can cost you a few days. The majority of language schools for a language study trip to Australia can be found in these locations:

  • Sydney
  • Brisbane
  • Noosa
  • Melbourne
  • Cairns
  • Byron Bay
  • Perth
  • Adelaide
  • Airlie Beach
  • Sunshine Coast
  • Gold Coast
  • Hobart
  • Fremantle
Most language schools offer their students the opportunity to choose between different types of accommodation, usually between host families and student residences. Some schools and language travel providers also give you the opportunity to choose between different options within the individual types of accommodation for your language study trip in Australia. For example, you can choose a host family where you are the only language student and are fully integrated into the family, can take part in every meal and are accepted as a member of the family. Alternatively, you can choose to share your host family with another language student of a different nationality. The option of self-catering within the host family is also possible. In this case, you will only be provided with the rooms and you take care of your own food, laundry and the like. The difference to a student residence is therefore not very big, except that you have a family connection if necessary. In student residences, you can opt for a single room, but also for a double room; shared rooms are rather rare. This option is best suited to independent self-caterers who do not want a family connection and appreciate their freedom. Other options include hostels, backpackers and other accommodation, which you should always enquire about with the relevant language school provider if you are interested.

For Swiss nationals who are resident in Switzerland and wish to travel to Australia, there are certain regulations that you must comply with. For a language study trip in Australia lasting up to 12 weeks, it is sufficient to apply for a tourist visa, the so-called "short stay visa". You can usually apply for this directly through the language school you are booking with. This is an electronic visa that does not involve a great deal of work. If you are thinking of staying in Australia for more than 12 weeks, you will need to apply for a student visa, a "long stay tourist visa". This entitles you to stay in Australia for up to six months. However, you should be aware that the processing of this application can take some time, often around two months. Be sure to factor this processing time into your planning.

In order to find the ideal course and the right language school for you, it is first of all important that you know exactly what you are looking for. If you only want to learn English for a few hours a week and enjoy the continent the rest of the time, you should choose a course that only takes three hours. In addition to half-day courses, there are usually standard and intensive courses with different durations. Depending on the language school, you can often also choose combined courses during a language study trip to Australia.
What could be better in this country than combining diving, sailing or surfing with learning English? If, on the other hand, you want to study this language extensively and are aiming for a diploma, such as an FCE or CAE, a special diploma course may be very suitable for you. Here too, no more than 25 hours a week of attendance are usually expected, but the class size is smaller and the content is strongly geared towards the upcoming exam.

Before embarking on an English language study trip, it is always important that you inform yourself thoroughly about what the individual schools have to offer. Only if you have sufficient comparative material at your disposal will you be able to find the continuing education, further training and language course that will really support you and in whose environment you feel comfortable.

Once you have received some documents, the first thing to do is to check whether the individual English language schools offer the courses you are interested in. If you are looking for business courses, a language school with a focus on youth travel is unlikely to appeal to you. The basic requirements should therefore be met, including a suitable course, a good location, a small class size and suitable accommodation with good transport connections. You can find out which other selection criteria will help you to find the language school that is best suited to you or your child in the guide "How to choose the right education provider" (see navigation point "Education help" above).

If you want to learn English intensively, you can do so here in Switzerland or improve your foreign language skills on a language trip to an English-speaking country. The choice of countries where you can learn English is enormous. For example, you can attend English schools in the following countries or territories:
  • England
  • Canada
  • United States of America (USA)
  • Australia
  • Northern Ireland
  • Scotland
  • India
  • Philippines
  • Jersey
  • Ireland
  • Malta
  • Barbados
  • New Zealand
  • Palau
  • Gibraltar
  • Belize
  • Bahamas
  • Tonga
  • Seychelles
  • South Africa
  • Namibia

and many other countries and islands around the world. However, you should be aware that not all English schools offer language courses for all countries or regions, so if you have a particular preference for one of the countries that are not on offer, you may have to search a little harder. It is therefore best to ask all the language schools you are interested in about their destinations for an English language study trip.
