This program is designed specifically for international students who wish to study English at an American school. Balancing academic classroom work with cultural enrichment, the program offers students an ideal environment in which to improve their English language, reading, vocabulary, and writing skills while learning more about the history of the United States and American customs and society. This program is for students ages 13 to 18. During the summer, KPLC’s international program is integrated into its larger curriculum. International students participate with American students in many activities and enhance their perspective by interacting with a globally diverse student population. International students interested in making the transition from schools in their home country to college preparatory study in America will find the KPLC’s program ideally suited to their needs. The program’s structure will also benefit students interested in interim study in America before returning to regular academic pursuits at home. Student Placement Since students generally vary in their English proficiency, KPLC will test and counsel each student to determine their entry level for language study. KPLC offers three levels of English for non native speakers. Counseling and working closely with instructors help to determine the level of challenge for which the student is prepared, and the degree of personal guidance and support that is warranted. Program Structure Language immersion is combined with an examination of American culture. Students study English intensively for two to four hours a day in the classroom. Program instructors who are ESL specialists incorporate skill-building exercises into their daily lesson plans. Students expand their vocabulary, raise the level of their reading comprehension, and improve their written compositions. Reading and writing assignments introduce students to American literature and themes in United States history. Upper level classes are given some preparation for the TOEFL, SSAT and/or SAT examinations. Some students may opt to take electives in other subject areas as well. Homework is assigned each day.
