Callan English for kids
It is up to you to decide how your child will function in the adult, modern world.
Callan for Kids is a 6-step Callan Method English course for children.
The course enables you to progress from a complete beginner’s level to A2 level. Due to the essence of the Callan Method, which is to thoroughly practice previously introduced material, each class introduces a maximum of 5 pages from the textbook.
Grammar and vocabulary are carefully and systematically introduced and practised in six stages. The course includes all the content that children need to know in order to pass exams such as the Cambridge Pre-A1 Starters, A1 Movers and A2 Flyers tests. At the end of Stage 4, children are ready to prepare for the CEFR A1 exams. By the end of Stage 6, they are ready for exams in CEFR A2. And most importantly, children will be able to communicate in English with ease.
It is impossible for a student learning with the Callan Method not to learn 😉

An example of one of these is that the lecturers do not call out the students, but only point to them – this keeps the participants in constant eye contact with the teacher.

There are long moments of silence in lessons which are a waste of time and Polish is often dominant.
