 The Callan Method is a huge success story: the Callan School in London is the largest privately owned English language school in the world. And the reason the method is so successful is because it works! 

From the moment you enter the Callan Method classroom you are engaged in Spoken English. This engagement is the key to the success of the method. If you wanted to teach someone how to drive a car, you wouldn't sit them on a chair and explain how to drive a car, would you? No. You'd put them in a car and sit beside them. You'd get them to do everything themselves, and then little by little their mind and body would co-ordinate and your student would master the skill of driving. Well it's just like that when you are learning the skill of speaking a new language.

We have met so many students who have a huge vocabulary, and they know all the rules of grammar off by heart - but they can't speak! You could say they had been taught how to drive on a chair instead of a in a car. All theory and no practice. But don't worry! We can fix that because it's practical here at ELTA, with the Callan Method! You, the student, will speak all the time.  And you will definitely acquire fluent spoken English in the shortest possible time for you. I say 'for you', because everyone is different. Some people catch on fast and others need more time. However, what I can absolutely promise you is this: whatever your learning style, you will acquire fluent English in a vastly shorter time at ELTA with the Callan Method than elsewhere with any other method.  That's a promise.

Are all Callan Method schools the same? To deliver the method successfully the teacher must be highly trained, and more importantly, temperamentally suited to the method. So, no, all Callan Method schools are not the same. Some have good teachers and some have mediocre teachers.

How do I know if I have a good Callan Method teacher? You don't need to worry about that because the answer is self-evident. The lesson will move along at a rapid pace; the teacher will hold the attention of the students at every moment; nobody will have an opportunity to daydream - your mind won't wander for an instant. There's a high octane atmosphere in the classroom. You will feel energized in your Callan Method Class. And if you don't, well.... that's your answer. Have a look at this short vidow clip. Notice how the class is moving at a rapid pace. See how the teacher commands the attention of the students. Look at the students and notice how their eyes are fixed on their teacher. Everyone in that classroom, teacher and students, is totally engaged. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2VeruXz2xc

And why should I chose ELTA and not another Callan Method school in Dublin? This is a very personal thing and no doubt you will look around and make the choice that feels right for you. However, consider the following:

• ELTA is the only Callan Method School in Ireland that is recognized by the Department of Education and Skills of the Government of Ireland.
• Only at ELTA can International Register Students qualify for a study visa with the Callan Method.
• ELTA is a Callan Method training school. We trained the entire teaching staff for two European Schools. We run Cambridge University certified TESOL courses for non-native English teachers every three months. Our graduates have gone on to teach and to open Callan Method schools in Brazil and South Korea.
• We train Native English Speakers to teach the Callan Method, but we only employ the very best of them. Therefore, you the student can be assured that the teachers serving you here are the best of the very best.
• Here at ELTA we offer you the most highly trained, highly skilled and highly experienced Callan Method teachers in Ireland. They are dedicated professionals who are determned to see you succeed. They have been chosen from the best. That's simply a fact. Why not accept the free trial class on offer in all Callan Method schools and judge for yourself? Try out and compare. Then you can make an informed choice.
