Welcome to the Callan Method
Learning English with the Callan™ Method is fast and effective!
The Callan Method is a teaching method created specifically to improve your English 
in an intensive atmosphere. The teacher is constantly asking questions, so you are 
hearing and using the language as much as possible. When you speak in the lesson, 
the teacher corrects your grammar and pronunciation mistakes, and you learn a lot 
from this correction.
The Callan Method teaches English vocabulary and grammar in a carefully 
programmed way, with systematic revision and reinforcement. In the lesson, there is 
a lot of speaking and listening practice, but there is also reading and writing so that 
you revise and consolidate what you have learned.
With the Callan Method, the teacher speaks quickly so that you learn to understand 
English when it is spoken at natural speed. This also means that everyone is 
concentrating hard all the time.

English in a quarter of the time
The Callan Method can teach English in a quarter of the time taken by any other 
method on the market. Instead of the usual 350 hours necessary to get the average 
student to the level of the Cambridge Preliminary English Test (PET), the Callan 
Method can take as little as 80 hours, and only 160 hours for the Cambridge First 
Certificate in English (FCE).
The method is suitable for students of all nationalities, and ages. It requires no 
equipment (not even a whiteboard) or other books, and can be used for classes at 
private schools, state schools and universities. It is also possible for students to use 
the books to practise with each other when they are not at school.
In addition to this, students can practise their English online using the interactive 
exercises, which are available to students who study at licensed schools. Ask your 
school for details.
The Callan Method in practice
A Callan Method English lesson is probably very different from lessons you have 
done in the past. You do not sit in silence, doing a reading comprehension test or a 
grammar exercise from a book. You do not have ‘free conversation’, where you only 
use the English you already feel comfortable with. Of course, activities like this can 
help you, but you can do them at home with a book, or in a coffee bar. In a Callan 
Method lesson, you are busy with important activities that you cannot do outside 
the classroom. You are listening to English all the time. You are speaking English a 
lot, and all your mistakes are corrected. You learn quickly because you are always 
surrounded by English. There is no silence and no time to get bored or lose your 
concentration. And it is also fun! 
So, what exactly happens in a Callan Method lesson, and how does it work?
The teacher asks you questions
The Callan Method books are full of questions. Each question practises a word, an 
expression, or a piece of grammar. The teacher is standing, and asks the questions 
to the students one by one. You never know when the teacher will ask you, so you 
are always concentrating. When one student finishes answering one question, the 
teacher immediately starts to ask the next question.
The teacher speaks quickly 
The teacher in a Callan Method lesson speaks quickly. This is because, in the real 
world, it is natural to speak quickly. If you want to understand normal English, you 
must practise listening to quick natural speech and become able to understand 
English without first translating into your language. This idea of not translating is at 
the centre of the Callan Method; this method helps you to start thinking in English.
Also, we do not want you to stop and think a lot about the grammar while you are 
speaking. We want you to speak as a reflex, instinctively. And do not worry about 
mistakes. You will, naturally, make a lot of mistakes in the lessons, but Callan Method 
teachers correct your mistakes, and you learn from the corrections. When you go 
home, of course it will help if you read your book, think about the grammar, study 
the vocabulary, and do all the things that language students do at home – but the 
lessons are times to practise your listening and speaking, with your books closed!
The teacher says every question twice, and helps you with the 
answer
In the lesson, the teacher speaks quickly, so we say the questions twice. This way, 
you have another chance to listen if you did not understand everything the first time.
The teacher then immediately says the beginning of the answer. This is to help you 
(and ‘push’ you) to start speaking immediately. So, for example:
Teacher: “Are there two chairs in this room? Are there two chairs in this room? No, 
there aren’t ...”
Student (immediately): “No, there aren’t two chairs in this room; there are twelve 
chairs in this room.”
If the teacher does not ‘push’ you by giving you the beginning of the answer, you 
might start to think too much, and translate into your language.
The teacher will speak along with you all the time while you are saying your answer. 
So, if you forget a word or you are not sure what to say, you will always hear the next 
word or two from the teacher. You should repeat after the teacher, but immediately 
try again to continue with the answer yourself. You must always try to continue 
speaking, and only copy the teacher when you cannot continue alone. That way, you 
will become more confident and learn more quickly. Never simply wait for help from 
the teacher and then copy – you will not improve so quickly.
Long answers, with the same grammar as the question
We want you to practise your speaking as much as possible, so you always make 
complete sentences when you speak in the lesson, using the same grammatical 
structure as in the question. For example:
Teacher: “About how many pages are there in this book?”
Student: “There are about two hundred pages in that book.”
In this way, you are not just answering a question; you are making full sentences with 
the vocabulary and the grammar that you need to learn.
Correction by imitation 
With the Callan Method, the teacher corrects all your mistakes the moment you make 
them. The teacher correctsthe last time I watched TV was two 
weeks ago. The structure is “It’s“ + time period + “since“ + past tense.

journalist ...............879you by imitating (copying) your mistake and then saying 
the correct pronunciation/form of the word. For example, if you say “He come from 
Spain”, the teacher quickly says “not come - comes”. This correction by imitation 
helps you to hear the difference between your mistake and the proper English form. 
You should immediately repeat the correct word and continue with your sentence. 
You learn a lot from this correction of your mistakes, and constant correction results 
in fast progress.
Contracted forms
In the lesson, the teacher uses contractions (e.g. the teacher says “I don’t” instead of 
“I do not”). This is because it is natural to use contractions in spoken English and you 
must learn to understand them. Also, if you want to sound natural when you speak, 
you must learn to use contractions. 
Lesson structure
Every school is different, but a typical 50-minute Callan lesson will contain about 35 
minutes of speaking, a 10-minute period for reading, and a 5-minute dictation. The 
reading practice and the dictation are often in the middle of the lesson.
In the reading part, you read and speak while the teacher helps you and corrects 
your mistakes. In the dictation, you practise your writing, but you are also listening 
to the teacher. So, a 50-minute Callan lesson is 50 minutes of spoken English with 
no silence!
No chatting
Although the Callan Method emphasises the importance of speaking practice, this 
does not mean chatting (free conversation). You learn English quickly with the Callan 
Method partly because the lessons are organised, efficient, fast and busy. There is 
no time wasted on chatting; this can be done before or after the lesson. 
Chatting is not a good way to spend your time in an English lesson. First, only some of 
the students speak. Second, in a chat, people only use the English that they already 
know. Third, it is difficult for a teacher to correct mistakes during a conversation.
The Callan Method has none of these problems. All through the lesson, every 
student is listening and speaking, practising different vocabulary and structures, and 
learning from the correction of their mistakes. And nobody has time to get bored!
Repeat, repeat, repeat!
Systematic revision
In your native language, you sometimes read or hear a word that you do not already 
know. You usually need to read or hear this new word only once or twice in order 
to remember it and then use it yourself. However, when you are learning a foreign 
language, things are very different. You need to hear, see and use words and 
grammatical structures many times before you really know them properly. So your 
studies must involve a system of revision (repeating what you have studied before). 
This is absolutely essential. If there is no system of revision in your studies, you will 
forget what you have studied and will not be able to speak or understand better than 
before. 
In every Callan Method lesson, of course you learn new English, practise it, and 
progress through your book. However, you also do a lot of revision so that you can 
really learn what you have studied. Your teacher can decide how much revision your 
class needs, but it will always be an important part of your studies. 
Also, because there is a lot of revision, it is not important for you to understand 
everything the first time; it gets easier. The revision with Callan is automatic and 
systematic. Every day you do a lot of revision and then learn some new English.
Revision in reading and dictation too
The reading and dictation practice in the lessons is part of Callan’s systematic revision 
as well. First, you learn a new word in the speaking part of the lesson; a few lessons 
later, you meet it again when you are reading; finally, the word appears in a dictation. 
This is all written into the Callan Method; it happens automatically.
Correcting your dictations
With the Callan Method, there is little or no homework to do, but it is very important 
that you correct your dictations. These are printed in your book and so you can easily 
correct them at home, on the bus, or wherever. It is important to do this because it 
helps you to learn the written forms of the words you have already studied in earlier 
lessons.
Your first lessons with the Callan Method
During your first lesson with the Callan Method, all of the questions and some of the 
vocabulary are new for you; you have not done any revision yet. For this reason, the 
teacher may not ask you many questions. You can sit and listen, and become more 
familiar with the method - the speed, the questions, the correction etc. 
History of the Callan Method – Robin Callan
Robin Callan is the creator of the Callan Method. 
He owns the Callan School in London’s Oxford 
Street. He also runs Callan Publishing Limited, which 
supplies Callan Method books to schools all over 
the world.
Robin Callan grew up in Ely, Cambridgeshire, 
England. In his early twenties, he went to Italy to 
teach English in Salerno. Although he enjoyed teaching, Robin thought that the way 
in which teachers were expected to teach their lessons was inefficient and boring. 
He became very interested in the mechanisms of language learning, and was sure 
that he could radically improve the way English was taught. 
He remained in Italy and started to write his own books for teaching English. He 
used these in his own classes and, over the following ten years, gained an immense 
amount of practical experience and a reputation for teaching English quickly and 
effectively. 
When he returned to England, he opened his school in Oxford Street. As the method 
became more and more popular with students, the school grew and moved to larger 
premises. Robin continued to write his Callan Method books, and today the method 
is used by schools all over the world.
Robin Callan has always been passionate about English literature, especially poetry. 
For this reason, he bought The Orchard Tea Garden in Grantchester, near Cambridge, 
which attracts thousands of tourists each year. Throughout the 20th century, it 
was a popular meeting place for many famous Cambridge University students and 
important figures from English literature, such as Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolf and 
E.M. Forster. Today, it is also home to the Rupert Brooke Museum.
Mr Callan now lives in Grantchester, but still plays an active role in the management 
of the Callan School in London.
The Callan School in London’s Oxford Street
The largest private school in London 
The Callan School in Oxford Street is the largest private school in London teaching 
English as a foreign language. Depending on the time of year, the school employs 
between 60 and 100 teachers and has an average of 1600 students passing through 
its doors every day. This number rises to more than 2000 in the middle of summer, 
similar to a small university.

LESSON 146
Modal auxiliaries for probability
logical
In order to communicate our ideas about how probable we think 
something is, we often use words such as “sure“, “probably“ or “perhaps“. 
However, another common way of communicating these ideas is by using 
modal auxiliary verbs such as “must“, “might“ etc. For example, instead 
of saying “Perhaps David is Australian“, we can say “David might be 
Australian“. 
A common …, 
besides …, is by using modal auxiliary verbs
I may buy some new 
clothes next weekend 
The modal “must“ can express the idea that we are sure something is true 
because it makes logical sense in a particular situation. For example, if 
somebody says “John has just run 30 kilometres“, we can reply “He must 
be tired“. This is similar to saying “Judging from what you’ve just told me, 
I’m sure he is tired“.
The modal “must“ can …
Alison must have a lot of money because 
she owns houses in four different countries
The modals “should“ and “ought to“ can express the idea of “probably“. 
For example, we can say “The train should arrive soon“. This means the 
same as “I think the train will probably arrive soon“. 
The modals 
“should“ and “ought to“ can …

The modals “may“, “might“ and “could“ can express the idea of “perhaps“. 
For example, if somebody asks us “Do you know where Sarah is?“, we 
can answer “She could be in her office“. This is similar to saying “Perhaps 
she’s in her office“.
The modals “may“, 
“might“ and “could“ can …
Quick! If you run, you might 
catch that bus!
The modal “can’t“ expresses the idea that we are sure something is 
not true because it makes no logical sense in a particular situation. For 
example, if somebody says “This is Peter’s jacket“, we can say “No, it 
can’t be Peter’s jacket; it’s too small“.
The modal
 “can’t“ expresses …
Amy can’t be in her flat. I’ve called there 
three times and nobody’s answered.
When we use modals in this way, we put the word “have“ and a past 
participle after the modal when we are talking about something that 
happened in the past. For example, “John ran 30 kilometres yesterday. 
He must have been very tired when he finished“.
When we use …, 
we put the word “have“ and a past 
participle after the modal when we’re talking about …
I can’t find Kim anywhere. 
I think she may have gone home.
She runs every day, so 
she must be fit

The boy whistled to himself/ as he cycled down the empty street./ The evil deed 
has been done/ and cannot be undone,/ so we should accept the fact/ and stop 
thinking about it./ Every now and again,/ I get my car checked/ by a professional/ 
so that I know it will run properly./ The girl sat on the steps/ cutting up the pink 
cloth/ into small pieces./ In the discussion that followed,/ Arthur lost his temper/ 
and began to quarrel violently./ My essay was criticized/ for not containing proper 
paragraphs.

LESSON 147 
“Will” and “would” for habits typical
We usually use the word “will“ to speak about the future, but we can also 
use it for a present habit, especially when we want to communicate that 
the habit is typical of a particular person. For example, we can say “Most 
people here finish work at about 6 p.m., but Frank will stay at the office 
until 11 p.m. most days“. If we are speaking about a past habit, we use 
“would“ instead. For example, “When I was at university, I would get up 
at 5 a.m. every day and go jogging“.
Sarah loves books, and will often 
spend the whole weekend reading 
As a child, I would 
ride my bicycle every day
When speaking about past habits, the difference between “would“ and 
“used to“ is that we can use “would“ only to speak about behaviour, 
whereas we can use “used to“ to speak about both behaviour and states. 
For example, we can say “Anna used to have long hair“, but we cannot 
say “Anna would have long hair“, because we are speaking about a state 
and not someone’s behaviour.
When speaking …, the
difference between “would“ and “used to“ is that …
That building used 
to belong to my family

As a noun, the word “fellow“ means the same as “man“, but this is quite 
old-fashioned these days.
As a noun, the word 
“fellow“ …
As an adjective, the word “fellow“ means “in a similar situation to you“. 
For example, a fellow traveller, a fellow student, a fellow member of a 
society etc.

hire plumber
The words “hire“ and “rent“ are similar, and either word is often possible, 
but the word “hire“ suggests a shorter period of time than “rent“. For 
example, we hire a video camera to film a wedding, but we rent a house 
to live in. If we are speaking about people, we hire somebody to do a

make the best of make the most of
“Make the best of“ and “make the most of“ have very similar meanings. 
“Make the best of“ means to try to be positive even though a situation 
is not very good. For example, if it rains every day on holiday, we have to 
make the best of it. 
“Make the most of“ means to get the maximum benefit from a situation 
while it is available. For example, if you go to London to learn English, 
you should make the most of your time there by speaking the language 
as often as possible.
Yes, people who …

Noun (or pronoun) + infinitive with “to”
When a noun (or pronoun) is followed by an infinitive with “to“, it is 
similar to a relative clause. For example, “I have a lot of work to do“ 
means the same as “I have a lot of work that I must do“. The sentence 
“There is nothing in the fridge for us to eat“ means “There is nothing in 
the fridge that we can eat“.
We have loads of emails 
to write. I have nothing to do tomorrow.

loss./ I can still see the scene now,/ with the boy almost in tears/ standing in front of 
the head teacher/ on his first day at the new school,/ asking not to be sent home./ 
There were many suits of armour/ just inside the entrance to the castle,/ and deer 
were wandering around/ in the grounds outside.

LESSON 149
It’s time …
If we use an infinitive after the expression “it’s time“ and say, for example, 
“It’s time (for us) to eat“, it means that now is the proper or correct time 
to eat; maybe we are at work and our lunch break starts now. However, if 
we use the past tense after “it’s time“ and say, for example, “It’s time we 
ate“, it means that we are a little late; maybe our lunch break will finish 
quite soon and we need to hurry. Notice that, although we are using the 
past tense, “ate“, we are not speaking about the past; we are talking 
about a situation in the present.
The difference between 
“It’s time for us to leave“ and “It’s time we left“ 
is that “It’s time for us to leave“ means that now is 
the correct time to leave, whereas “It’s time we left“
 means that we are a little late and maybe need to hurry

for the children to go to bed
please. It’s nearly midnight; it’s

LESSON 152
“Any” and “some” with singular countable nouns
whichever idiot
When we use the word “any“ in front of a singular countable noun, it 
means “it’s not important which“. For example, the sentence “Take any 
biscuit you like“ means that it isn’t important which biscuit you take; you 
can choose whichever one you like. 
Any child can
 learn to ride a bicycle
When we use “some“ in front of a singular countable noun, we are 
referring to a particular person or thing, but we don’t know (or we don’t 
want to say) who it is or which it is. For example, in the sentence “Some 
man came to see you this morning while you were out“, we are referring 
to a particular man, but we can’t remember or don’t know who it was. 
particular person, please. Some idiot 
has broken the window
flash thunderstorm image
When there’s a thunderstorm, we first see the flash of lightning. Then,

onomatopoeia crash crush splash
There are many words in English that give us an idea of their meaning by 
their sound. This connection between sound and meaning is known as 
onomatopoeia. Three examples of this are the verbs “crash“, “crush“ and 
“splash“.
 By onomatopoeia, 
we mean the connection between 
the sound and the meaning of a word

LESSON 153 
Comparatives: big and small differences
As we know, comparative forms are used to communicate that there is 
a difference between two people or things. For example, when we say 
to somebody “John is taller than David“, they understand there is a 
difference in height. However, they do not know how big the difference is. 
If we want to communicate this information, we need to put other words 
before the comparative.
To communicate that the difference is very big, we can put words such 
as “much”, “far” or “a lot“ before the comparative, and say, for example, 
“John is far taller than David“. To communicate that the difference is very 
small, we can use words such as “slightly”, “a little” or “a bit”, and say, 
for example, “John is slightly taller than David“. 
When we’re using …, we can … 
by putting words such as “much”, 
“far” or “a lot“ before the comparative

or “In the end, I managed to open the window“. However, when we are 
talking about negative outcomes, we can only use “in the end“, and not 
“at last“. For example, “In the end, I didn’t manage to open the window“.
No, we can’t use the expression 
“at last“ for negative outcomes
We use “in the end“ instead

LESSON 158 
Mixed conditionals
Sometimes, we need to mix the 2nd conditional and 3rd conditional 
structures. If, for example, we imagine a situation in the past and then 
imagine the consequence of that in the present, we use the following 
structure:
“If” + past perfect + “would do/would be doing”
If I had gone to bed earlier yesterday, I would feel better now
If, on the other hand, we imagine a situation in the present and then 
imagine the consequence of that in the past, we use the following 
structure:
“If” + past + “would have done”
If my job wasn’t so demanding, I would have come to your 
birthday dinner last week
please. If Susan had studied 
harder when she was at school, 
she probably wouldn’t be unemployed now
please. If you weren’t his brother, 
he would have been far angrier 
with you for taking his car last night

Dictation 109
The girl’s eyebrows and eyelashes/ were very dark,/ whereas her hair was fair./ 
The ship had been wrecked/ near the coast of the island,/ and they managed to 
walk/ all the way to the shore/ in the pale light of the moon,/ as the water was only 
waist deep./ If the bird settled on her shoulder,/ I’d be able to see/ its bright blue 
feathers./ You should behave with more caution/ if you ever come across/ that 
teacher again;/ he appears to hand out punishment/ more freely than the others./ 
The mere title of the film/ was frightening enough./ The monkey was clearly 
hungry/ and in a temper,/ and tore at the bunch of bananas.
