NOTE : UNTIL THE YEAR 2000, THE FIRST FOUR STAGES OF THE

METHOD WERE CONTAINED IN ONE BOOK. THEY ARE NOW DIVIDED

INTO TWO BOOKS.

ENGLISH IN A QUARTER OF THE TIME!

The Callan Method teaches English in a quarter of the normal time.

Instead of taking the usual 350 hours (four academic years) to get the

average student through the Cambridge Preliminary, it takes only 80

hours (one academic year), and only 160 hours for the Cambridge First

Certificate.

Private schools using the Method are able to give all their students a

legally-valid written guarantee that if they fail their Cambridge, state-

school or university exams in the predicted number of hours, they will be

given free lessons until successful. For these exams most Callan Method

schools have a 95 % pass rate, compared with the international average of

about 70%.

Such schools are also able to allow their students to take trial lessons

before signing on, and to pay on results if they are sceptical of the

Method's claims.

The Method can guarantee an excellent result with virtually every student.

It involves little or no homework, and is easy, interesting and pleasant to

use.

It is suitable for students of all ages and for all purposes of study. It

requires no equipment (not even a blackboard) or other books, and can be

used for any size of class at private schools, state schools or universities.

The Method can also be used in a "Teach Yourself" manner, and students

can learn with it by practising with each other. It can also be used

successfully by non-professional teachers without qualifications or

experience, and enables anyone to open a Callan Method school without

any knowledge of the teaching of English.

Introduction

This book explains to anyone wishing to open a Callan Method school (or

chain of schools), how to go about it. The book also explains how such a

school is organised and run.

No experience or qualifications are required for opening and running a

Callan Method school; virtually anyone can do it.

Also, little or no capital is required if the individual goes about it in the

right way. Furthermore, nothing has to be paid in royalties to the Callan

Method Organisation, and no permission is needed to use the Method.

A Callan Method school is like a shop, a restaurant or a hotel, but, unlike

such businesses, it does not require experienced or qualified staff. This is

because Callan Method teachers can be trained in five days, and can even

train themselves. The person running the school, therefore, has only to

concern himself with the accounts, wages, publicity and so on, the same as

with any other small business.

Naturally, it helps if the person opening a Callan Method school is

English, has a certain amount of capital and business experience, and has

already taught with the Callan Method, but such advantages are by no

means essential. Drive, energy, and the ability to learn quickly are far

more important.

If the person opening the school is not English, he can employ an English

Head Teacher to handle the teaching side of the business for him.

The advantages of opening a Callan Method school in preference to any

other school are as follows:-

1. The Method on offer to the public can do the job in a quarter of the time

taken by any other method on the market, and can therefore be so

successful, it can bring in double the income of a normal English-language

school.
