Course Profile
Our group course content is academically standardized and
promotes long term aims with the language. The teaching, by
native speaker teachers, will be communicative, fun, intimate,
and engages and challenges our students. We take teacher support
seriously within Cactus. Our teachers are qualified language
trainers and are given further leadership by our full time
Director of Studies, here at Cactus, who interviews the teachers,
sends them information on what and how to teach and meets
them for teacher training sessions. Although there will be
an emphasis on speaking and listening, grammar is included
in our programs and will be taught in context. Our programs
are monitored throughout, through feedback gathered from you
by online surveys and acted upon by Cactus.
All 20 hour courses include course books. Most courses listed
below are 10 week courses, with one lesson of two hours on
one evening per week. We also now run survival courses for
beginners needing a quick introduction to their language.
Class size is usually max 12, with an average of 8 students.
For more details on any of these schools or courses please
email
us or call us on (+1) 212-601-9343
Please note that you will receive your coursebook
in the second week.

| Part- time Survival courses: |
|
- Our survival courses are 4-week courses with classes one evening a week, from 6.30 – 8.30pm.
- These courses are perfect if you have only a few weeks before a trip abroad, and not much time to devote to language learning.
- The courses provide an ideal way to build confidence before using the language more frequently socially or when jetting off on holiday, a gap year or business trip.
- With our native speaker teachers giving instruction in the language, you’ll learn to speak and understand expressions and information that is commonly used.
- Follow this up with one of our academic courses, aimed at giving a more in-depth study of your language of choice.
|
| Part time 5-week programs: |
 |
- These courses are perfect if you prefer a
more intensive learning experience or have only
a few weeks before a trip abroad.
- Our 5-week courses are 20 hour courses, with
classes two evenings per week from 6.30 –
8.30 so you can really immerse yourself in the
language in your spare time.
- This course is a great way to build confidence
before using the language more frequently at
work, socially or when jetting off on holiday,
a gap year or business trip.
|
| Part time 10-week programs: |
 |
- Our 10-week programs are well established
and extremely popular, and are ideal for those
who prefer to study less intensively, have long
term aims for work or personal reasons or are
simply studying for fun.
- Our 10-week courses are 20 hour programs.
Studying from 6.30 – 8.30 one evening
per week can fit into everybody’s schedule.
- These programs are a great opportunity to
get to know the language in depth and your class
mates and teacher as well.

Course
Outlines |
| The Cactus Course Outlines provide
a learning framework for the Cactus Foreign Language
Evening Courses. They are designed to provide you
with a good idea of what you might cover over a
10-week period, and include typical themes, vocabulary
and grammar areas. They are flexible rather than
prescriptive, in that our teachers can decide to
adapt their learning plans to the specific level,
aims and interests of their classes.
