Callan Method Books
As pointed out in the Handbook that accompanies the Callan Method, the Method was originally intended for use by a teacher teaching a class of students – for which it can still be used, if necessary. The Callan method is a constant speaking and listening English learning practice, which is sold as a fun and effective way to learn English. Using carefully designed materials and simple, non-distracting lesson structures, it engages learners and supposedly develops their ability to understand, pronounce and speak English effectively. Callan Online is a web-based platform enabling students who wish to learn English to find and book online lessons with Callan Method tutors. We continue to invest in the Method with specialist courses – Callan for Business and Callan for Kids – and the development of Callan Espanol, the first non-English language Callan Method.

Exam success with Callan
The content of the Callan Method has been decided on with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) and popular international English language exams firmly in mind.
Callan Method Books
Grammar is taught throughout the Method. Rules are clearly explained and then immediately put into practice and constantly revised.
During Stage 5 or 6, most students will be ready to prepare for exams at B1 level, and in Stage 8 or 9 they will be at B2 level in terms of vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation, reading and listening comprehension, and usage of grammar. Different schools may then run short courses to equip students with the techniques needed for specific exams such as Cambridge Preliminary or First, IELTS, TOEIC or TOEFL.
Student workbooks are available to help students practise the grammar required at B1 and B2 levels.
By Stages 11 and 12 (the highest levels), the vast bulk of language being practised is appropriate for learners at level C1 of the CEFR.

“I have no time to think in Japanese in my head”
Native Camp - Japan
I have no time to think in Japanese in my head because I have to answer the question immediately. This trains me to understand English without Japanese and respond quickly.

The Callan Method is extremely effective. Studying 8 stages not only enabled me to communicate with foreigners, but also helped me achieve my professional goals. This is why I intend to carry on with my studies and complete all 12 stages.
