Are you interested in an English course that offers you some time for sightseeing in addition to comprehensive classroom work? A Semi-Intensive English course offers the balance to enjoy your destination and finish your course with a higher level of English. Semi-Intensive English Courses focus on the four main aspects of language: reading, writing, listening and speaking. These courses offer a semi-intensive English education that will help you learn quickly and effectively. You’ll also learn vocabulary and grammar, and how to speak in formal and informal discussions, interviews and strategies. Kaplan's Semi-Intensive English course offers both group lessons and structured, independent study sessions -- leaving students plenty of time for social activities and to explore their surroundings. This course consists of 20 lessons of general English and 7 lessons of structured study time.
Lessons focus on practical English, including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Supplemental structured study allows students to use multimedia materials, online exercises and course books for their studies, so they can focus on what they need to learn and improve the most.

Toronto is Canada’s largest and most cosmopolitan city. Its breathtaking architecture, world class theater, international sports, and beautiful waterfront setting make this a popular city to study in. Stroll around Harbourfront Park with new international friends, watch the Blue Jays play baseball at the Rogers Centre or take in the view from the top of the one of the tallest freestanding towers in the world, the CN Tower.
Toronto is a great choice for you if you like the excitement of a big city. It is well-known for its nightlife, music, festivals, professional sports, great shopping and restaurants. From Toronto you can take weekend trips to Niagara Falls, Montreal, Ottawa, Boston and New York. Being such an international city means it’s easy to reach, with flights arriving from everywhere from Abu Dhabi to Zurich. Our campus offers students the very best of locations in the downtown city centre.
My first week was stressful because of learning new language, but because of good teachers (especially Sara) and the friends I made, the stress went away. I started to like learning English. School activities helped me to get closer to other students, but also to improve my English. I really enjoyed. The location was perfect everything is near to the school. So if you want, you can easily take a tour of Toronto.

There are also many activities for the week, which is nice. The best part tho is that you meet so many nice students at the school from around the world and have a lot of fun.
For me the school was all in all perfect but my housing was not that good. I lived to far away and the hosts were very strict and had cameras all over the place and spied on me and other students during meal etc. Some of the people I met in school had an appartement, which is way nicer than staying in a home stay.
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

My course was for ielts, but the classes which I participated in has many distractions and little focus on the exam. I asked for attention to academic coordination but only solved in my last week.

The school staff, teachers and volunteers were very helpful. The teachers are very professional and they are very well prepared. The school is located in a very convenient place that allows us to visit tourist areas and also very close to the public transport. I also had the opportunity to stay in the new residence which is very close to the school as well as other places such as supermarket, malls restaurant, cinema and so on. This trip also allowed me to visit the French Canada, Niagara falls, and participate in many other activities organized by the school. in conclusion, it is not just a place where you can learn or improve the language, but also where you interact with people from many other countries with different cultures.
