You can talk about everyday matters, but with a limited range of style and expression. You read and write fluently about familiar topics.

“ I have made great progress, thanks to our amazing

Kaplan teachers. Th ey work hard to make lessons

interesting and always encourage us to express our

opinion.

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 confi dence understanding lectures and also taking part in various interesting discussions.”

Bruno Leonardo Ribeiro Maia, Brazil

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 profi ciency test to enable our staff to place you in the correct class for your level of language ability.

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.
