The Callan Method

What is the Callan method?

  • The Callan Method is an innovative language learning approach designed for rapid progress in English.

  • It focuses on intensive listening and speaking practice, which helps learners develop fluency and confidence quickly.

  • With its unique rapid-fire questioning and correction techniques, the Callan Method keeps learners engaged and actively involved in the learning process.

How many stages are there at The Callan Method?

The Callan Method consists of 12 levels or stages that cater to learners of different proficiency levels, ranging from beginners to advanced. Each level builds upon the previous one, gradually advancing language skills and knowledge.

How does the Callan Method compare to other standards or frameworks

  • In the early stages of the Callan Method, such as Stage 1-3, learners generally acquire foundational language skills that align with CEFR A1 level or the Cambridge Key English Test (KET).

  • As learners progress through the intermediate stages, around Stage 4-7, they develop language skills equivalent to CEFR A2-B1 level or the Cambridge Preliminary English Test (PET) and First Certificate in English (FCE).

  • In the more advanced stages, approximately Stage 8-12, learners aim for a higher level of proficiency comparable to CEFR B2-C1 level or the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) and Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE).
