学校周辺環境
Q:シカゴ校周辺の環境について教えて下さい！


A:はい。ご質問ありがとうございます。

シカゴは人口300万人を抱える中西部の都市で、ニューヨーク、ロサンゼルスに次ぐ大都市です。
シカゴ空港は、ユナイテッド航空の拠点となっているため、中西部に限らず、アメリカ全土の交通の要衝となっています。
五大湖のひとつミシガン湖に面したこの街は、市内の公共交通機関も発達しており、市街地にも“L”と呼ばれる地下鉄（高架電車）が走っているので
交通の便がよいところもシカゴ校のおすすめポイントの一つです。
また、ジャズやブルースで有名なこの街には、クラブがたくさんあり、様々なミュージシャンの演奏が楽しめます。

學校的活動很多,設施也會不定期更新,每個周末都有安排活動帶學生出遊,

老師教學方式活潑,也很有耐心,每堂課的內容雖然不同,但都注重再加強同學的聽說讀寫部分，
每學期舉辦兩次英語能力測驗的考試,便利於要進修的學生,也而外開選修課提供給學生參加.
學生都來自世界各地,不過大都來中東像是沙烏地阿拉伯,印度;以及韓國.日本.和中國各地的亞洲地區,除了可以認識各個地方不同的文化之外,也可以訓練聽除了美式以外的口音~~
這是一個以著名的旅遊城市這是著名的美食，音樂和歷史街區。
因為去附近旅行都很方便很近，因此常常與其他同學一起去旅行~~ 有很多很美好得回憶^^

日本人が比較的少ないところに行って勉強がしたい！と思い、
口コミで日本人学生が少ないと見たシカゴ校にしました。
実際、本当に少なくてアジアの学生は日本と韓国以外はあまりいなかったです。（時期によるかもしれませんが。。）

授業では文法だけでなく、様々なトピックについて勉強します。
そのトピックについての単語を学ぶので実際に理解して使って学ぶことができます。
例えばその日のトピックが「会社」だったときは、会社で使う単語などを学ぶことができるので、
日常でもすぐ使えるような勉強が出来ます。

学校周辺の環境も良く、交通の便もよいので、バス停は学校の目の前にありますし、
電車の駅も徒歩5分の距離なので本当に便利でした！

1年いましたが、滞在中はホームステイしていました！
学校と自宅はバスで30分なので不便じゃなかったです！

해외 어학연수를 결심하게 된 계기
카플란 시카고 센터는 다운타운 중심가에 있어 쉽게 편의시설을 찾을 수 있기 때문에 매우 편리했습니다. 간단히 식사를 먹을 수 있는 패스트푸드부터 고급 레스토랑까지 다양하게 찾을 수 있고, Michigan ave를 따라서 백화점, 명품관, 스포츠웨어 상점 등 없는 게 없습니다. 가장 좋은 점은 어디서 사진을 찍어도 이쁘고 이국적인 느낌이 드는 도시라는 점이었습니다.

가장 기억에 남는 소셜 액티비티
건축물 요트 투어가 가장 좋았습니다. 시카고에 오시면 반드시 해보셔야 해요. 건축물들과 미시간호의 색이 너무 잘 어우러집니다.

일대일 과정
일대일 과정을 선택한 이유는 제가 원하는 분야에 특화된 교육을 원했기 때문입니다. 그룹 수업은 커리큘럼에 따라 주제가 정해져 있지만, 일대일 과정은 제가 주제를 선택할 수 있고 그만큼 저에게 필요했던 비즈니스 회화, 공학 용어 등에 집중할 수 있으니까요. 수업은 매번 다르게 구성되어 어느 날은 제가 원하는 주제를 설정해 정해진 시간 동안 자유롭게 얘기하며 선생님께서 저의 문제점을 집어 주실 때도 있었고 다른 날은 제가 고객사와 미팅하는 것처럼 저희 회사의 장비와 제품을 프레젠테이션을 해보거나, 발음 때문에 소통에 문제가 생기기도 해 하루 수업을 몽땅 발음 교정에 투자하기도 했습니다. 그 덕분에 지금은 적어도 일적으로 사용해야 하는 영어에서만큼은 놀랄 만큼 발전했습니다. 발음이 원어민처럼 좋지는 못해도 발음 때문에 소통에 문제가 생기는 일도 없구요. 영어를 어디에 어떻게 써야 한다는 것이 명확하다면, 혹은 본인 영어의 문제점을 찾고 싶다면 일대일 과정을 추천드립니다.

어학연수 후 얻은 큰 수확
카플란은 학생들이 영어를 사용할 수 있도록 교실 안팎으로 기회를 계속 만들어 주어, 스피킹을 연습할 기회가 많았던 점이 가장 만족스러웠습니다. 한국인은 생각보다 영어를 잘한다고 생각합니다. 다만 말을 못 할 뿐. 카플란에선 말을 할 수 있는 기회를 계속 만들어 주기에 연수에 투자한 시간이 전혀 아깝지 않았습니다.

카플란 연수 중 가장 만족하는 점
최고의 위치, 최고의 선생님들을 만났습니다. 선생님들 스태프분들이 한 분 한 분 모두 친절하시고 열정적이세요. 특히 중상급 (Higher intermediate) 반 선생님이셨던 Sam 선생님이 한국과 한국 문화를 좋아하셔서 연수를 마친 지금도 연락하고 지내고 있습니다. 수업은 특정한 주제에 대해 배우고, 그것을 활용해 토론하는 방식으로 진행되었습니다.
한국식으로 책을 읽으며 배우는 딱딱한 방식의 수업이 아닌 영어를 실제로 사용하며 수업이 진행되기 때문에 영어가 늘 수밖에 없습니다.
