Annette Zaida
Teacher at Kaplan Perth
Annette has 15 years of teaching experience and started at Kaplan in 2006
“With the English Fluency courses you will study
a range of grammatical structures based around
different topics and you’ll practise grammar and
vocabulary through communicative methods.
Whatever your level, you’ll immediately start to
communicate with your teacher and classmates
and you’ll soon fi nd yourself improving
fantastically!
The four skills of reading, writing, speaking and
listening are studied in fun and varied ways.
The main differences between the courses are
the hours and length of study. For example, if
you choose an Intensive course you’ll have extra
skills classes where you can choose the areas
you need to improve.”
“By adding the Practical Business English
service to your English course you can develop
business language skills at an American
company while taking English classes at the
same time.
In English for Business and Intensive Business
English courses you will develop General
English skills as well as Business English skills
in a range of contexts.
As you improve, you will be encouraged to apply
the knowledge you gain through writing and
presentations.
You will also develop those skills associated
with applying for a job, such as writing a
resumé, interview techniques and writing
applications.”
“Exam preparation courses are designed to
teach candidates the necessary skills to pass
a formal exam. At the same time, students
improve their English profi ciency.
These courses are useful for those wishing to
emigrate, go to university in an English-speaking
country, or who simply want an intensive
learning environment.
Most students who do exam courses see
signifi cant improvement in their English,
especially in their actual use of the language
when speaking and writing. They are able
to follow their progress as they are closely
monitored and assessed throughout the
course.”

Please note that 10 weeks per level is just a guide to average progress rates on an Intensive English course.
We cannot guarantee an exact period of study over which specifi c language goals can be attained.
Juan Andres Fumero Gonzalez, Venezuela
“My English has improved so much!
I started at Intermediate level and have moved
all the way up during the time that I’ve been
here. Now I can talk fl uently to anyone in English.
Learning English has always been my dream;
now I feel like I’ve achieved that goal.”
STUDENT SUCCESS STORY
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.
Elementary
You can use and recognise common words,
greetings, and simple instructions, but you
have limited grammatical knowledge.
Lower Intermediate
You can write and speak in familiar situations
and have a fair knowledge of grammar, but
your vocabulary is limited.
Intermediate
You can talk about everyday matters, but with
a limited range of style and expression. You
read and write fl uently about familiar topics.
Higher Intermediate
You are competent with grammar and
can understand and contribute to most
conversations on familiar topics, but may
make some mistakes.
Advanced
You communicate confi dently and fl uently,
but may lack specialist vocabulary and make
some errors with complex language.
Profi ciency
You are very close to native speaker fl uency
and can handle all complex written and
spoken language.

“Th e Kaplan teachers can give you very eff ective tips
based on their experience with previous students.
They are resourceful and have access to a lot of test prep material.
The trickiest part about the GRE® is the verbal part. Memorizing the
very tough vocabulary is an arduous thing to do. However, I can
tell that my vocabulary has improved. With Kaplan you are in safe
hands.”
