Language Courses in Manchester
Manchester School
This excellent school in the heart of Manchester has been teaching foreign languages to business people for decades and has recently begun offering additional courses for holidaymakers who want an alternative to the enormous class sizes of adult education colleges: here the maximum class size is 12 and averages 8 students. A professional atmosphere is apparent and all teachers are highly qualified to British Council Standards, as well as being mostly native speakers. All classroom time is in the native language (English is never used) which enables students to learn comprehension skills very quickly. The school itself is located on Newton Street in the city centre, very close to Piccadilly Gardens and three minutes' walk from Piccadilly Train Station. Surrounded by cafes, shops and museums, it is close to all public transport routes.

Course Info
These are group courses which acknowledge individual needs. The content is academically sound and will promote and lead towards long term aims with the language. The teaching, by native speaker teachers, will be communicative, intimate, fun and will engage and stretch the students. Although the emphasis will be on speaking and listening grammar will be included and taught in context. Our courses are monitored throughout, feedback gathered from students at the mid and end of each course (together with any direct contact) and acted upon by Cactus Language Training.
