Teaching English with Callan Method, any opinions..?

Answer 1

"The Callan method is a long list of questions fired at individual students in a small group. Each question is asked 2 times, and repeated later, usually on three successive days. The first time the students can read the questions too. By the third time the teachers should be varying the content (focusing on the new item of the moment), and following up interesting answers. Every mistake is corrected. Students often have a three hour session, kicking off with revision and moving into new work. There are occasional writing exercises to break things up.

Positives are:

Students get lots of different teachers, yet a well structured program.
They get comprehensible input, building up slowly.
Levels are (should be) well monitored, students should be in more or less the right level.
Classes are focused on language learning, not edutainment.
No students are left out, all is fair.
Correction is always given, if you believe in that!
What the students are doing is responding as they wish to the teachers questions - it is more natural than it may sound.....in fact can be very natural.
Little time is wasted. Not even an issue in some other classrooms.
Students are guaranteed a decentish education. That is most important of all.

Negatives:

Some of the questions are a bit dopey.

It is monotonous. Not too boring if done well, however, though 3 hours is hard core.

The teacher is straight-jacketed. This is good in some ways, most teachers don't know their bottom from their elbow

Students are focused mainly on speaking, and mainly on responding to questions at that. Less of a problem than you'd think though.

Teachers are not treated well, and the school exaggerates the benefits and scope of the method for commercial reasons.

So...........
Do students succeed in this program? Yes, many do, otherwise the place would close. Many do not like it, but they do have a trial lesson to find that out. Students who really want to learn take to it better than lazy students. Shy students do not prosper, but where is this not so?"
