- Callan method
The Callan Method is a
direct method of teaching English. Direct methods are thought to stem from the audiolingual approaches, which were adopted in war time as a more effective way to learn a language than through grammar translation. The Callan Method Organisation website claims that some students learn English four times faster when compared to other methods [ [http://www.callan.co.uk/en/about_the_method.html Callan Method ] ] . The Callan Method is especially popular inPoland andBrazil . It requires the teacher to ask questions at high speed twice and feed the answer of the question to the student piece by piece. It was invented byRobin Callan who lives atthe Orchard inGrantchester . The Callan School inCentral London , onOxford Street , is reputed to be the largestEnglish Language School in London and the UK.It is the express will of
Robin Callan that the method remain unchanged because it teaches English to the level of FCE (Cambridge First Certificate UCLES) and there's no need to change basic vocabulary, however, some of the language has now become outdated. Critics of the method question its rigidity and the lack of opportunities for creativity.References
