Your General English classes will initially focus on making sure that you are able to communicate effectively in everyday English. A wide-ranging syllabus will then develop your overall linguistic skills, helping you to read, write and speak English with confidence and clarity.

These vary from school to school but may include:
— Current Affairs

— Writing and Vocabulary
— Speaking and Pronunciation

Structured Study
Your Structured Study sessions help you to reinforce what you have learned and improve the areas where you need most practice by using selected books, online language exercises and interactive computer programmes.
Optional Internship
If your English level is high enough, you may decide to gain job skills and practise your English in a real working environment by including an unpaid internship placement as part of your programme. Your internship will replace some of your classes above. An example structure for your Academic Year could be 2 terms of classes as above, followed by an internship placement in your final term. Internships may also be made available on an Academic Semester programme if you have an appropriate visa.

I liked the convenience and good relationships between teachers-teachers, pupils-pupils and teachers-pupils.
Maybe the only thing I didn't like was the weather. I am from the north of Africa, and here it is always sunny and hot. There I was very cold, but in general, my experience was perfect and I hope go back again. Thanks very much for everything!
The time I've spent in Kaplan was really nice. I've made many friends, learned a lot about other cultures (not only English culture) and improved my English more than I could imagine that would be possible in the short time I've stayed in the school (3 weeks). This time, despite of has been so short was enough to give me good fluency in the language which allowed me to have good performance during the Invention Salon of Geneva and won the Gold Medal in the Medicine Category. Because that I say thanks to Kaplan!
