Gap year in the USA
Your English skills will be transformed when you take a gap year in the USA. If you're planning to improve your English ability on a long-term program of study, a gap year in the USA is a great choice, not only academically, but as a life experience as well. Diving into American culture you'll get used to a new way of life and gain confidence using your language skills all day, every day. Spending a gap year in the USA will also make you more open-minded, as you see different ways of living and experience different values. Whatever your life plans, living in the USA for a year is a valuable life experience you'll remember long after you return home.
Working towards fluency
If you're spending a gap year in the USA, you'll be aiming to become proficient in English by the time you leave. A year is a long time, and even if you're a total beginner at the start of the course, with hard work and dedication it is possible to become a confident English speaker in a year. To call yourself fluent in English, you need to be able to read, write, and speak with confidence in a variety of settings. Of course a lot of your progress will be down to you as an individual, the effort you put in combined with your natural ability, but a gap year in the USA will provide you with all you need to work towards fluency, along with vital help and support from experienced teachers.
