00:00:23 |
In the UK and Ireland
Kaplan has more than 10 schools. |
| 00:00:23 |
00:00:25 |
We have a couple of schools
in London, |
| 00:00:25 |
00:00:27 |
we have a school in Edinburgh
in Scotland, |
| 00:00:27 |
00:00:30 |
we have a school in Dublin,
the Irish capital, |
| 00:00:31 |
00:00:32 |
and we have some
smaller locations |
| 00:00:33 |
00:00:34 |
such as Torquay
and Bournemouth. |
| 00:00:34 |
00:00:37 |
We also have classic destinations
like Cambridge and Oxford. |
| 00:00:37 |
00:00:40 |
Each one of these offers
a unique, fantastic experience |
| 00:00:40 |
00:00:43 |
for international students
that want to learn English. |
| 00:00:43 |
00:00:45 |
It goes without saying that
the Kaplan teaching staff |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:47 |
in the UK
have a very high level. |
| 00:00:47 |
00:00:48 |
We put great importance
on our teachers |
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:50 |
because at the end of the day
they are the people |
| 00:00:50 |
00:00:52 |
that are on the front lines
with our students |
| 00:00:52 |
00:00:55 |
ensuring that they get
the best experience. |
| 00:00:55 |
00:00:56 |
Our teachers
are well-qualified. |
| 00:00:57 |
00:01:00 |
They enjoy their jobs,
which I think is very important, |
| 00:01:00 |
00:01:02 |
and the fact that
they do enjoy them, |
| 00:01:02 |
00:01:04 |
they communicate effectively
with our students, |
| 00:01:04 |
00:01:06 |
the students will get a good
learning experience from that. |
| 00:01:07 |
00:01:09 |
The students can actually relax
and enjoy the whole experience |
| 00:01:09 |
00:01:10 |
while they're here. |
| 00:01:11 |
00:01:13 |
The teachers are very friendly,
and you come forward |
| 00:01:14 |
00:01:17 |
in your English speaking,
listening, writing. |
| 00:01:17 |
00:01:20 |
It's an easy way to learn
in a short time |
| 00:01:20 |
00:01:22 |
to speak better English. |
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:24 |
The teachers are so great,
so friendly. |
| 00:01:24 |
00:01:27 |
The classes are very interesting
so you will enjoy yourself |
| 00:01:28 |
00:01:30 |
and you will improve you English
so much. |
| 00:01:31 |
00:01:32 |
We believe that the whole experience
for the student |
| 00:01:32 |
00:01:33 |
is extremely important, |
| 00:01:33 |
00:01:34 |
not only what they're doing
in the classroom |
| 00:01:35 |
00:01:36 |
but also when they're in
and around the college. |
| 00:01:37 |
00:01:38 |
We put great importance
on the facilities |
| 00:01:38 |
00:01:40 |
we have in each centre,
in each college. |
| 00:01:40 |
00:01:42 |
They have so many facilities. |
| 00:01:43 |
00:01:45 |
You have a multimedia room
with lots of computers, |
| 00:01:45 |
00:01:48 |
that you can write emails
to your friends, to your families, |
| 00:01:48 |
00:01:51 |
an extra studying room
and an extra computer room. |
| 00:01:51 |
00:01:53 |
We've got two choices
of accommodation. |
| 00:01:53 |
00:01:56 |
One is staying with
an English host family, |
| 00:01:56 |
00:01:58 |
so basically you're part
of the family, |
| 00:01:58 |
00:01:59 |
you're living in their home, |
| 00:01:59 |
00:02:02 |
you're interacting
with English people all the time. |
| 00:02:02 |
00:02:04 |
This is a very popular option. |
| 00:02:04 |
00:02:07 |
The home stays
are a great opportunity |
| 00:02:07 |
00:02:09 |
for students to really practice
their English all the time at home. |
| 00:02:10 |
00:02:11 |
They have dinner together, |
| 00:02:11 |
00:02:12 |
they talk about their day
together. |
| 00:02:13 |
00:02:15 |
The family where I live
is very nice. |
| 00:02:16 |
00:02:19 |
I like staying with them because
I can really improve my English |
| 00:02:19 |
00:02:21 |
and they are very kind to me. |
| 00:02:21 |
00:02:24 |
The other option we have
is a residence |
| 00:02:24 |
00:02:27 |
where you've got your own
personal private bedroom |
| 00:02:27 |
00:02:29 |
but you're interacting
with other students |
| 00:02:30 |
00:02:30 |
from around the world |
| 00:02:31 |
00:02:33 |
because you're sharing facilities
in the same building. |
| 00:02:33 |
00:02:36 |
I'm staying at a place
called Urbanest, it's a residence. |
| 00:02:36 |
00:02:39 |
There's a little kitchen,
you have your own space. |
| 00:02:39 |
00:02:44 |
The rooms are very modern,
it's like new so it's very nice. |
| 00:02:45 |
00:02:48 |
In the UK and Ireland,
at all our centres, all our colleges |
| 00:02:48 |
00:02:49 |
we have social coordinators |
| 00:02:50 |
00:02:52 |
and their role is to organize
social events, |
| 00:02:53 |
00:02:56 |
evening entertainment,
going out in groups. |
| 00:02:56 |
00:02:57 |
When the students
are in the classroom |
| 00:02:58 |
00:03:00 |
they're learning
in a classroom environment, |
| 00:03:00 |
00:03:02 |
they're with their teacher but
when they're out socializing |
| 00:03:02 |
00:03:04 |
they're free to practice
their vocabulary. |
| 00:03:04 |
00:03:05 |
What they've learned
in the classroom, |
| 00:03:06 |
00:03:09 |
they can do this in a live,
unstructured, free way |
| 00:03:09 |
00:03:11 |
which we find really benefits
our students. |
| 00:03:14 |
00:03:15 |
Kaplan organizes
a football match |
| 00:03:15 |
00:03:17 |
so every Tuesday
I and a couple of my mates |
| 00:03:17 |
00:03:20 |
we head down to Russell Square
and have a little kick about. |
| 00:03:21 |
00:03:23 |
It's really nice to watch them
play football, |
| 00:03:23 |
00:03:24 |
they are really good. |
| 00:03:24 |
00:03:29 |
Because we are Brazilian,
we love football. Go Nicolo! |
| 00:04:03 |
00:04:06 |
Since I came here my English
improved really fast |
| 00:04:06 |
00:04:08 |
in just a short period |
| 00:04:09 |
00:04:11 |
and now I feel really confident
about myself. |
| 00:04:11 |
00:04:16 |
Now I can apply to a university
that's really going to help me |
| 00:04:16 |
00:04:17 |
in my future. |
| 00:04:17 |
00:04:18 |
The best thing
about coming here |
| 00:04:19 |
00:04:22 |
I think that is not just
learning English with your teacher, |
| 00:04:22 |
00:04:24 |
you meet people
from all over the world |
| 00:04:25 |
00:04:27 |
so that you can speak with them
in English. |
| 00:04:27 |
00:04:29 |
So that's great. |
| 00:04:29 |
00:04:32 |
I would recommend
other friends of mine |
| 00:04:32 |
00:04:36 |
to study here in Kaplan
because of the great school, |
| 00:04:37 |
00:04:40 |
you will meet lots of students,
very international, |
| 00:04:40 |
00:04:42 |
very friendly teachers. |
| 00:04:42 |
00:04:45 |
You can improve your English
so fast. |
| 00:04:46 |
00:04:49 |
I would definitely recommend
Kaplan International College |
| 00:04:50 |
00:04:54 |
because it's professional,
because it's a very nice |
| 00:04:55 |
00:04:57 |
and very friendly environment. |
| 00:04:57 |
00:05:02 |
I would recommend Kaplan
because it's a really good college, |
| 00:05:02 |
00:05:05 |
the classes are really, really nice
and you learn a lot. |
| 00:05:05 |
00:05:07 |
I think it's perfect. |
| 00:05:07 |
00:05:09 |
The environment here
is very lovely |
| 00:05:09 |
00:05:12 |
and I'm enjoying it here. |
| 00:05:12 |
00:05:17 |
Kaplan was really helpful
for improving my English |
| 00:05:17 |
00:05:19 |
and it will be really helpful
for my future. |
| 00:05:20 |
00:05:23 |
Studying at Kaplan really
helped me to improve my English |
| 00:05:24 |
00:05:25 |
and I had
a really good time here. |
| 00:05:26 |
00:05:29 |
Not only did I learn English
and improve my English, |
| 00:05:29 |
00:05:32 |
but also I've met
incredible people. |
| 00:05:32 |
00:05:34 |
I've made friends
from all over the world |
| 00:05:34 |
00:05:36 |
and most importantly
I had a good time. |
