TRIAL WEEK

The student can then attend 3 or 4 hours of classes in the suggested Callan stage, as a taster before he decides to register. This trial period allows him both to experience the Callan method personally and to get to understand the techniques and style of teaching employed.

COURSE START AND DURATION

At Callan School of English each student's programme is tailored to the time he has available to study, his needs and his reasons for learning English. The student may begin at the start of the term or he may choose to start whenever he has time available. There are typically 30 hours in a Callan stage, but this can be tailored to the student's specific requests.

THE METHOD

This is a method exclusively for learning English quickly and effectively. It is a very dynamic approach to the learning process. The student not only speaks directly in English but also thinks in English.

LEARNING QUICKLY

The method is based on controlled, guided and very quick questions and answers. The student, thus, has no time to think in his own language and immediately uses English. Because of this, understanding and speaking English with us is simple and, most importantly, fast.

ROTATION OF TEACHERS
