    If you have paid for the Transfer Service, a driver holding a Kaplan sign will meet you outside the Customs Hall exit (international flights), or at the Baggage Claim area (domestic flights). 

    You should look carefully for the greeter in both of these locations. If you do not see the greeter, you should go to the Information Desk and ask them to call the center’s emergency number at +1-858-412-2025. The Kaplan staff will then advise you on what to do. 

    If you have any flight changes, miss a connecting flight, or need help meeting the Transfer Service, you should call the center’s emergency number at +1-858-412-2025 for help, and be prepared to tell them your name, center name (Kaplan San Diego) and new flight details. 

    Independent transfers
    Express shuttle – approximately $45 (+15% gratuity)
    Taxi – approximately $35-$65 (+ 15% gratuity

    허지회

    이름       허지회 (건국대학교)
    학업 장소  미국 샌디에고
    학업 기간  2013년 12월 30일 ~ 2014년 1월 24일

    벌써 3주차가 되었네요! 오늘은 수업방식에 대해 말해볼까 합니다.

    저는 intensive 과정에 등록해서 오전 수업 + 일주일에 6시간의 오후 수업을 듣고 있습니다. 자신이 등록한 과정에 따라 수업 시수가 달라지게 됩니다. general 과정에 등록한 제 친구는 컴퓨터 학습을 한다고 합니다.

    수업시간은 1시간 30분으로 이루어지면, 중간에 15분의 휴식시간과 점심시간이 있습니다. 오전에 2 타임의 수업을 하고 점심을 먹은 후 오후수업을 듣는 거죠. 오후수업도 1시간 30분으로 일주일에 네 번, 금요일을 제외한 날에 수업을 합니다. 오전 수업은 자신이 배정받은 레벨에서 반이 정해집니다. 단, 똑같은 레벨이라도 반이 여러 개가 있으므로 수업의 분위기는 전적으로 선생님에 의해 결정됩니다.

    저희 반은 수업 분위기가 활발한 편입니다. 선생님이 성격이 굉장히 좋으신 분이거든요!! 아이들도 마찬가지인데, 가끔 간단한 게임 같은 걸 할 때면 동물원 같기도 합니다. 여자가 저 포함 두 명밖에 없고든요. 인원은 보통 12~15명 사이로 구성되는데 저희 반은 13명입니다. 그중에 여자가 두 명이라니.. 물론 다른 반은 적정한 성비로 구성된 것 같더군요. 기존 여자아이들이 과정을 다 마쳐서 그런가 봐요.

    수업시간에 배우는 것은 reading, writing, listening, grammar 등등 여러가지가 있는데요, 그 비중은 선생님마다 다릅니다. 저의 경우에는 말할 기회는 오직 저에게 달려있습니다. 대화 시간이 따로 주어지지 않아요. 우리가 돈을 들이면서 어학연수를 가는 이유는 문법을 배우기 위해서는 아니잖아요? 궁금한 것이 생길 때, 뭔가 말하고 싶을 때 그 즉시 말하세요. 손은 따로 들지 않아도 됩니다. 그저 선생님이 들을 수 있도록 크게 말하면 절대로 무시하는 일 없이 다 들어주십니다.

    하지만 이것도 선생님에 따라 달라요. 제 친구의 경우에는 똑같은 레벨이었는데도 항상 두 사람씩 마주보고 서서 대화를 하게 시켰다고 하더군요. 그리고 레벨이 낮을수록 더 많이 말을 하게 시키는 것 같습니다. 그래서 클래스메이트간의 사이도 좋다고 하네요.

    오후 수업은 다양한 주제가 있는데요. conversation, idio, 토익/토플 등에서 자신이 선택하시면 됩니다. 저는 첫 주에 idiom  반에 배정이 됐었는데요, 좀 더 아카데믹한 수업을 원한다고 했더니 토익/토플반으로 바꿔주었습니다. 수업이 변경되는 데에는 일주일의 시간이 소요되므로 빨리 말하시는 것이 좋아요!

    솔직해지자면, 보통 동양인들이 이런 수업에서 가만히 있는다고들 하죠. 제가 보기에 그건 전적으로 사람에 따라 다릅니다ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 수업시간에 열심히 질문 던지고 모두를 웃게 해주는 한국 사람 당연히 있구요. 또 서양인이라고 해서 다 적극적이고 활발하고 그런 것도 아니구요. 정말 사람 나름이에요!! 다들 알고 있잖아요. 힘들여 여기까지 왔는데 열심히 생활하지 않으면 내 손해라는 것을!

    すでに3週目が過ぎた!今日は授業の方法について書きます。

    私はintensiveコースに登録して、午前の授業+週6時間の午後の授業を聞いています。自分が登録したコースに応じて、授業時間が異なります。 generalコースに登録した私の友人はコンピュータ学習をしているそうです。

    授業時間は1時間30分ずつ行われ、間に15分の休憩時間と昼休みがあります。午前に2構分の授業を聞いてランチを食べた後、午後の授業を聞きます。午後の授業も1時間30分で週に4回、金曜日以外は授業があります。午前中の授業は自分が割り当てられたレベルで半分が決まります。ただし、同じレベルであっても半分が複数クラスあるので、授業の雰囲気は完全に先生によって決まります。

    私たちのクラスは授業の雰囲気が活発な方です。先生は性格がとても良い方ですよ!生徒たちもいい人ばかりですが、時々簡単なゲームを行うする時は動物園になります。女性が私を含む二人しかなくんですよ。クラスは通常12〜15人の間で構成され、私のクラスは13人です。その中で女性が二人だなんて。もちろん、他のクラスは適正な短所比率で構成されたようですね。既存の女の子たちがみんな卒業してしまった為、そうなってしまったみたいです。

    授業時間に学ぶことはreading、writing、listening、grammarなどが含まれていて、その比重は先生によって異なります。私の場合、話す機会は私にかかっています。会話時間が別に与えられない。私達がお金をかけながら語学研修を行く理由は、文法を学ぶためではないですよね?気になることがあるとき、何か言いたいと思うとき、すぐに伝える。手はあげなくても大丈夫です。ただ先生が聞こえるように大げさに言えば、先生も絶対に無視することがないようによく聞いてくれる。

    しかし、これも先生によって違います。私の友人の場合には、同じレベルであったにもかかわらず、常に二人ずつ向かい合って、立って会話をするようにさせたそうです。そしてレベルが低いほど、より多くの言葉をするようにさせるので、クラスメイトとの仲もいいと聞きます。

    午後の授業は様々なトピックがあります。 conversation、idio、TOEIC / TOEFLなどで、自分が選択できます。私は最初の週をidiomに割り当てました。もっとアカデミックな授業をしたいと言ったところ、TOEIC /TOEFLのクラスに変えてくれました。変更できるまで一週間くらい時間がかかるので、すぐに話した方が良いですよ!

    正直にいうと普通アジア人が授業でじっとして座っていると思っていました。私が見るに、それは完全に人によって異なります(笑)授業時間に熱心に質問をして、みんなを笑顔にする韓国人も当然いるんです。また、西洋人だからといって積極的で活発そのというようなこともないんです。本当に人次第です!誰もが知っていることですよね。苦労してここまできたのに、一生懸命に学校生活を送らないと自分の損だということを!

    我參加了一個密集課程,並在上午每週6小時上課。根據您所註冊的課程,課程數量會有所不同。據說參加這個綜合課程的朋友正在做電腦學習。
    如果上課時間為1小時30分鐘,則中間休息15分鐘,午餐時間中等。上午我有兩個小時的課,午飯後有一個下午的課。下午的課程也是每週四次(星期五除外),持續一小時三十分鐘。早上課程設置在他們被分配的水平。但是,即使在同一層次上,也有幾個班級,所以班級的氣氛完全由老師決定。

    我們班有活躍的班級氣氛。老師是非常好的個性!孩子們也是這樣,有時候玩簡單的遊戲就像動物園。包括我在內只有兩個女人。人數通常在12-15人之間,我們班有13人。當然,另一半似乎是由適當的性別比組成的。我想現在的女孩已經完成了這個課程。
    閱讀,寫作,聽力,語法等都是課堂的一部分。 就我而言,說話的機會只取決於我。 沒有時間交談。 我們為什麼不花錢學習語法? 當你有答案時,當你想說點什麼時,立刻說出來。 你不必把你的手分開。 如果你說得這麼大聲以至於你能聽到,你會毫不猶豫地聽。但這也取決於老師。 我的朋友告訴我,即使他在同一水平上,他總是有兩個人站在他面前。 而水平越低,我似乎越讓你說話。 所以在同學們之間很好。

    サンディエゴ校で1年間語学留学をしました!
    今回の留学がはじめての渡米ということもあり、日本人学生が少ない地域への留学は不安だったので
    日本人が多いというサンディエゴへの留学を決めました。
    サンディエゴには日本人が多いと聞いていましたが、学校には僕が想像していたよりは日本人学生が多くはなかったです。
    逆に日本人は少ないほうで、韓国、特にサウジアラビアから来たという学生が多かったです。
    なのでプライベートで日本語ばかり使ってしまう!ということはなかったですし、むしろ日本人が少ない分ずっと英語での会話でした!

    授業もライティングスピーキングなど総合的に学べましたし、定期的に先生とのガイダンスがあるので
    自分の苦手なところも知れるのでよかったです。
