TELL HIM THAT ACCORDING TO KUMARADIVELU (1994) WE ARE NOW IN THE POST-METHOD CONDITION OF LANGUAGE EDUCATION AND THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS A FLEXIBLE, HEURISTIC APPROACH INFORMED BY SLA THEORY.
And it's the CallaN Method. Try googling it.
Basically it's just audiolingualism. |

I've read it's good for total beginners to learn some structures quickly, but it fails once students get past an elementary level.
On a related topic, has anyone tried the new Pimsleur Korean course?
I had the old 10 lesson set, but it was too basic to be really useful. I'm curious what people's impressions of the new course are. |

There are two Callan Schools of English in Oxford Street in London. From what I heard from students who have studied there, apart from those schools being cheap, it is just repeating and listening.
Here is a link to a demo class in a Callan school:http://www.callan.co.uk/callanschool_student_pgs/callan_english_lessons_video.php |
