“I have made great progress, thanks to our amazing Kaplan teachers. They work hard to make lessons interesting and always encourage us to express our opinion.

Progress and level chart The chart below shows the progress you can make with a Kaplan language course.

On arrival at your school you will be given a proficiency test to enable our staff to place you in the correct class for your level of language ability.

I arrived at Kaplan Harvard Square 5 months ago to take the General English course. My listening and reading skills were very limited at the time and I couldn’t understand when people spoke English to me. I read really well now; not only trivial things, but also academic articles. I take a class at Harvard University, and I have confidence understanding lectures and also taking part in various interesting discussions.”

Regular progress tests during the course will then allow your teachers to monitor your level of improvement. Typically, students on an Intensive English course take just ten weeks to progress from one language level to the next.
