The village of River Forest is located in Cook County in the state of Illinois. River Forest is the home to two universities, Dominican University and Concordia University, Chicago. Students enrolled in English school in River Forest should be sure to visit the Winslow House during their stay. It was designed by the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was Wright’s very first independent commission and makes an interesting stopping point for fans of Wright. River Forest is located just 12 miles outside of Chicago, opening up a lot of options for students in terms of restaurants, museums and attractions. Sports fans might want to watch a professional sporting event during their stay. Those who enjoy the fine arts should be sure to visit one of Chicago’s many galleries, or take in a professional theater or dance performance during their stay. Shopping is another popular pastime in the area, with Chicago offering something for everyone from designer stores to unique boutiques. For a look at the local flora and fauna, consider a trip to the Trailside Museum of Natural History. Located in River Forest, this nature center teaches visitors about various things including the local wildlife. Students taking English courses in River Forest can expect to experience a humid continental climate during their stay. This translates to four very distinct seasons. Winters are generally cold, windy and snowy. Springtime is usually mild, while summers are hot and humid. Autumn is generally the shortest season with crisp, cool weather. Rain is heaviest during the summer and late spring.
The Intensive 35 course is the fastest way for students to improve their English skills, regardless of their starting level. The course consists of 20 lessons of general English, 7 lessons of structured study, and 8 lessons of elective English each week.
Are you interested in an English course that offers you some time for sightseeing in addition to comprehensive classroom work? A Semi-Intensive English course offers the balance to enjoy your destination and finish your course with a higher level of English. Semi-Intensive English Courses focus on the four main aspects of language: reading, writing, listening and speaking.
The General English course consists of 20 lessons each week and is the least intensive option offered at Kaplan. This course allows students to improve their English while still leaving time for sightseeing and leisure during their stay.
