Welcome to Kaplan.

Welcome to your new world.

Open the door to another language and you open the door to another culture, another way of thinking. Knowledge of English comes not just with the essential language skills learned in the classroom, but also with a sense of achievement and inclusion in the increasingly global culture of the world.

of our students would recommend us to their friends or family

Our mission is to ensure that our students take full advantage of every moment of their learning experience. Our courses, our exclusive K+ teaching method, and our focus on connection-building and social learning inspire students to feel at home in another country – to feel at home in another language and culture. We don’t just want them to do well in class; we want them to succeed everywhere beyond.

People who speak more than one language have more opportunities and face better career prospects than those who don’t. They have a different view on the world and an invaluable ability to communicate with others.

We want to help you open these doors. We want to take you on this global journey.

We’re extremely proud of what our students have done and what they will go on to do.

It is with great pride that I welcome you to Kaplan International.

Meeting you at the airport

A friendly face in a foreign country is always welcome. So how about a personalized transfer service to meet you at the airport the moment you touch down? If you choose, we can arrange for a trusted driver to pick you up and take you straight to your accommodation.

1

Getting ready to leave

You’ll have lots to do before you leave, so our advisors will be there to help you along the way. We’ll send you information about your course, living costs, insurance, paperwork you might need for your visa and even what to pack.

Make friends!

Meet students from around the world

3

Seeing your new home

We know you’ll love it because we are committed to finding you the right accommodation, whether you want the independence of a student residence, where you’ll live around other students, or the comforts of staying in a homestay, with the chance to live with locals and truly immerse yourself in the culture.

We inspect all of our accommodation options regularly and have staff at the school to help you with any questions.

It’s not all study. Every school runs a social program that makes the most of the city and sights around it. Explore a new country, enjoy trips and activities with friends and practice your English in a relaxed and informal way. All our schools have a 24-hour support number that puts you in touch with a staff member should you need any assistance in the event of an emergency.

Your first day

Kaplan teachers use a range of highly effective exercises to keep classes interesting, engaging and challenging, allowing you to focus on everything from improving your pronunciation to broadening your vocabulary to mastering grammar. Our K +notes course books and interactive whiteboards will develop your reading and writing skills and encourage you to speak English confidently inside the classroom and beyond.

Our K +notes course books

We regularly update our course books to reflect popular culture and current affairs. That means they’re always dynamic, interesting and packed with exercises to help you practice speaking and listening while working on your grammar and vocabulary. Enjoy using them in class, then continue working at home with our K +tools online learning program. You’ll receive a new course book every two weeks and when you progress to a new level.

Interactive whiteboards

There are interactive whiteboards in many of our classrooms.

They’re a great way to bring the K+ learning materials to life as teachers and students use them to interact and collaborate.

K +eXtra

Improve even faster with our online K +eXtra self‑directed study materials. This additional resource provides three language areas to complement and boost your learning: grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. There are ten modules per level which you can work through at your own pace.

ONLINE LEARNING

Throughout your course you’ll be able to continue your studies with our excellent K +tools online learning program. The exercises will fit perfectly with the work and objectives you’ve focused on in the classroom. You’ll get instant feedback on your performance and progress, and you can study whenever and wherever you want.

Social Program

Make your learning fun, educational and exciting with the weekly activities and trips planned by our Social Program organizers.

They’ll show you all that the city has to offer and help you explore your new home, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Attend a K +clubs study group, enjoy the weekly social program, or have a relaxed chat with your homestay host.

Your Kaplan course offers so many ways to practice and improve your English.

K +clubs study groups

The K+ approach is highly effective, because it has been developed to optimize the learning of English by applying research‑based practices of feedback and group‑based learning. The K+ in‑class approach maximizes opportunities for students to use their new skills together, and get feedback from well‑trained teachers.

Research also confirms learners need different amounts of practice, in part depending on where they start.

K +tools allows students to practice as much as they need on their own, making their in‑class and social activities more productive and enjoyable.

Why learning English is great for your career

Marta Redding, Recruiter, Huntress Group (Office Support)

Marketing is all about communicating; therefore it is vital to have good written and spoken English.

Also, having a second language shows willingness to learn. I would say studying English is highly recommended for professional reasons as it will open up a lot of doors for you.

Deborah Le, Senior Consultant, EMR (Marketing and Recruitment)

Having a second language on your CV dramatically enhances your chances of being hired. English language skills really are key for those who want to progress their career. Candidates who can speak English are much more likely to receive a higher salary.

Rosie O’Callaghan, Business Manager, Scott and May Recruitment (Finance)

A Business English course will help prepare you for: l

Job interviews

l

Participating in meetings

l

Giving presentations

l

Meetings with clients

l

Talking to customers

l

Writing and communicating effectively

For all details visit: www.kaplan.do/businessenglish

Industries are expanding on an international level and we always look for candidates who speak an additional language. You have to speak English, wherever you are in the world, if you want to work in the business sector.

It is definitely worth investing in learning English at a professional level.

Quality residences and welcoming homes

A GREAT PLACE TO STAY Where you live while you study will make all the difference to the experience you have, the friends you make and your sense of comfort and security. We know it’s an important part of your decision.

Kaplan is committed to finding the highest‑quality student residences and homestays — those where you’ll feel the most at home.

FEEL WELCOMED, PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH

Why would I like a HOMESTAY?

Living with a family gives you the chance to practice your English every day in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the warmth and comforts of a real home. You’ll have breakfast and dinner with your hosts and fully immerse yourself in a new culture. All of our homestays are regularly inspected to ensure they’re comfortable and welcoming, and we choose hosts we know are well suited to caring for international students.

I chose to stay with a local homestay in order to better

understand the Australian culture and

to improve my conversational English. I stayed with a great family in a nice house.

Vivian Breval Abate, studied at Brisbane

At Kaplan we believe that accommodation is an integral part of a student’s experience and we take pride in the support we offer our students.

Why would I like a

STUDENT RESIDENCE?

I really like the big kitchen at the City Lodge. It’s pretty easy

to make friends and cook together. You learn more about cultures because there are people from all over the world.

Fabian Maurice Bader, studied at Auckland

For all details visit: www.kaplaninternational.com

Living alongside other students is the perfect way to make friends and share ideas and experiences (as well as recipes!) from around the world. Most residences are self‑catering so it will be your choice to cook or eat out at the local restaurants and cafés. You can enjoy your independence and most locations offer options such as residences, apartments or hostels with a choice of single, twin or dormitory-style rooms.

20

SOAKING UP THE CULTURE One of the best things about studying in another country is experiencing a brand new culture.

You will find new and exciting experiences on your doorstep — landmarks, activities and amazing places to visit. You’ll learn and see so much more than on any vacation. We offer every opportunity to enjoy an exciting social life outside the classroom by organizing activities, events and weekend trips.

Our social program will help you make the most of your stay and allow you to make memories to last a lifetime.

Chicago is a city where you can do so many things — it’s amazing. When I finish my classes I can go for a walk

or visit the museums.

I really like Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue.

Nathalie Jarjour, studied at Chicago

Gabriel Venturim De Souza Grossi, studied at Toronto

The social program helped me improve my speaking and listening skills. My favorite activities are the language exchange and football.

If you live in Manchester, how can you not talk about football? I played at least once a week and

it often helped me let off steam.

The surf camp

would have to be my favorite activity. It was so much fun and I really got to know the other students.
