They’ve added grammar exercises and sentence building worksheets into the mix and do switch people over at stage 5 or 6, depending on what the student wants. The school I’m at now uses both English and German Callan and it appears to work well. It’s a great way to start learning basic vocab and building confidence in speaking, but after the 5th or maybe 6th stage I think people should switch over to a book method and learn some grammar and sentence structure. lol.Ĭallan is good up until about the 5th stage. My English teacher is rolling in her grave. To be honest, in high school English was my worst subject. I’ve taught for 5years now many different ways and learned quite a bit. So, they don’t absorb the information as well. But, with all the junk in today’s world that people have to focus on in everyday life there ‘brains’ aren’t what they used to be… relaxed. The method being designed 50+ years ago worked well… in my opinion. Since then I’ve found and discovered that society as a whole has changed and thus it doesn’t work as well ‘right out of the box’. I did some reading up on it and being also someone who studies the brain and how it works thought it to be a pretty straight forward method. I’m a salesman by trade from the US and when I came here and decided to stay and teach I needed a way to ‘break into’ it and learn ‘how’ to teach. Actually Callan was what got me into teaching.
