Kaplan's General English course offers both group lessons and structured, independent study sessions -- leaving students plenty of time for social activities and to explore their surroundings.

Do you want to spend a year abroad, learning English and really getting to know a new country and its culture? Kaplan’s Academic Year courses combine a first class English education with valuable qualifications, and a once-in-a-lifetime overseas experience. Our English Academic Year course is a 9 month course that combines learning English with a variety of other related studies to bring your English fluency up to the highest possible level. You will also have the chance to learn specific skills of your choice – from Business English vocabulary to film criticism. English Academic Year courses are available in all of our locations in Canada, Ireland, Malta, the UK and the US. Each week you will receive 20 lessons of General English and 7 sessions of Structured Study. 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. 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 programs.

You’ll be able to take advantage of our schools’ busy social calendars all year long, and have plenty of free time and holidays to go exploring, head off on ski trips, or spend a week on the beach!
