Learn English with an intensive five month course
Best for dramatically boosting your English level while living abroad
What is our five-month Intensive Academic Semester English course?
Our five-month Intensive Academic Semester English course will improve your English fluency to the highest level, with more lessons than our English Academic Semester course. As well as learning important general English, you can choose to study specific sections of vocabulary and skills, such as Business English and exam preparation.
Immerse yourself in the English language and spend five months studying and getting to know a new location and culture. The course is an effective way to increase your fluency, and you will be helped by our exclusive and specially designed study materials.
You may also take a similar six-month intensive English semester course.
GUARANTEED PROGRESS
We are so confident that your English will improve that if you don’t advance by at least one level of fluency every 10 weeks, in one of our US, UK, Canada or Ireland schools, we’ll give you an extra four weeks at the end of your tuition, absolutely free. Terms and conditions apply

”All the teachers are nice and help you even if you have questions about applying for a university or applying for a job. I selected the host family accommodation. It’s for me the best opportunity to learn English outside of Kaplan. Additionally you gain the daily American way of life.”
