Why do we use the Callan Method?
From our knowledge
and experience of , we think it is the quickest and the most reliable
method of teaching English. The Method was founded
in 1960 and has since proved itself to be very popular among students.
Due to the unique nature of the Callan Method,
you will speak for much of the lesson - this is
very important, as the only way to learn to speak
a language is to speak it.
What is the Callan Method?
It is a direct method created specifically to
enhance your comprehension and speaking abilities
in a pleasant but intensive atmosphere. The question-answer
format of the lesson ensures that you are actively
involved in hearing and using the language to
a maximum. The teacher keeps the lesson moving
swiftly in order that you learn to understand
English at its natural spoken speed.
Speed, correction and repetition are the basis of the Method:
- Speed – the lessons are taught at a fast speed. There is no time to think and translate into your own language. This quickly improves your confidence and speaking skills.
- Correction – you will listen and speak for most of the lesson and all your mistakes will instantly be corrected by your teacher.
- Repetition - the lessons are taught through constant repetition and revision of grammatically correct sentences.
Free trial lessons:
We offer three days of trial lessons – which
you only pay for if you sign on. We do not offer

and assign you to the appropriate class. From

monitor your speed of learning.
