English Speaking courses

Callan Method courses are designed to improve your understanding and confidence in speaking English. The main focus is on speaking, listening, grammar in practice and pronunciation.

What is the Callan Method?

You may have studied grammar at school for many years but still find understanding and speaking English difficult, or you may be a complete beginner. Whatever your level of English, learning with the Callan Method is fun and fast.

The lessons are designed to immerse you in English with rapid questions and answers which improve your understanding and allow you no time to think and translate into your native language. After a short time, you will begin to think and speak directly in English!

Constant systematic correction of your mistakes, by native English speaking teachers, greatly improves your pronunciation and confidence when speaking.

New vocabulary and grammar is taught and practised each day so that you quickly build up your knowledge of words and phrases, which help you speak more fluently. More advanced grammar and vocabulary is taught as you move through the stages, as well as important idioms and phrasal verbs.

There is a lot of revision; so there is no need to worry if you do not understand or remember everything the first time; practice makes perfect!

You will also have some reading and writing in the lessons, so you practise all four skills. Written and oral exams follow the completion of each stage, so it is easy to follow your progress.
