 Even
in the first lesson you will see that this is a very
different way of learning English than the boring school
English.
If you don't like learning grammar but want to have
a funny class with great teachers then try a class here.
I was only here a short time but it was very interesting
to attend the classes. |

Since I was in Sydney, I knew that I have been in an environment to expose myself
to English. However, I was struggling with the process of thinking
in Japanese first and then constructing an English structure next.
There was no easy way out, but I found an advertisement of JEC, and
that rings my bell.
After having learned English at JEC for two weeks, I could easily
feel that I became better at listening. Even a month later, I could
hear other people saying that my pronunciation is good, and more
importantly, I started to receive the compliments of “my English
is good.”
After while, I was aware of the fact that I no longer did the translating
process mentioned above. I convinced the change in my linguistic
way of thinking from Japanese to English.
You will be taught by a different teacher every hour and every teacher
I met taught me passionately, carefully, and humorously. I had no
doubt that the pedagogy of it
was absolutely innovative.
Unlike all the positive points I mentioned above, how to acquire
all the English skills and how and what to apply them to the life
depend on me.
I believe I am making my best efforts, but I am looking forward to
seeing more progression in me and for the rest of one and half months,
I will make more efforts to become better. |

I have heard the name of “Callan Method” but I had no chance to know the content
of it.
In fact, it was my first time to meet Callan method in my 10 years-history
of English studies. When I participated in the trial lesson, I could
not ride on the wave of the lesson and got lost in a way, but this
way of teaching I first experienced comes deep in my mind and decided
to take classes at here in JEC. The class takes only 3 hours a day,
but it requires serious concentration, and I can gain the feeling
of achievement after the intense 3 hours. Furthermore, we repeat
same content over and over, and this makes me nothing but confident
in answering in English. Moreover, teacher does not enunciate for
international students, so I can become accustomed to “real English”;
I could feel my utmost improvement of listening outside the classroom.
The most thankful aspect for JEC is that I could make my pronunciation
crystal clear, which was my weakest point, and the teachers corrected
my pronunciation repeatedly. The school is not that big compared
to those mammoth schools of which you may give some names, but the
school and the staffs are very friendly and welcoming.
I could only be there for a month, but it was worthwhile. If I had
a chance to come to Australia, I will surely go for it again. I still
remember the days at JEC and appreciate for the help of everyone
there. |

 I think My English has been somewhat improved since I started to attend to JEC.
Even though I felt the tuition is not reasonable, it is valuable
and worth taking classes once you achieve somewhat level of English;
all you need is motivation. I would recommend this institution if
you have not decided to go a particular language school. I appreciate
JEC that even when I am speaking Japanese and some borrowed-words
came out of my mouth, it sounds absolutely English without my intention.
When I was aware of my behavior above, I thought I became an Australian.
Thank JEC for making myself an Australian naturally. |

It is inevitable for everyone to confront with the feeling of inability of speaking
English. In fact, when I was at a language institution, my teacher
told me “I cannot understand your Japanese English.” Since then,
I had had an inferiority complex in English. At the time I was inferior
for English, I found JEC and had a bite of the class, but still I
was wondering if I could be any better by taking classes at JEC.
I actually took some trial lessons at some other institutions, and
this experience made me aware of the fact that there is no other
school like JEC which provides many opportunities to speak in English
as well as to correct pronunciations. At present, I am simply satisfied
with what JEC has done for me. It might be too early to determine
how good I can be with JEC because it has not been so long since
I started to take classes at JEC; however, I am telling and convincing
myself that with JEC, I can give myself innovation of learning communicative
English and superior pronunciation. Once you take classes at JEC,
you cannot avoid saying “JEC is it!!!” which I think is common feelings
for the students at JEC. You better take it! |

 By learning at JEC, what made me surprised at first was improvement of my listening
ability. Simultaneously, I studied TOEIC and took the test, and then
I was sunned by my scores on TOEIC; the best score that I have ever
had in my life. With small numbers of students and opportunities
to speak directly with teacher with its mother tongue, I could feel
all students were passionately attempting to learn English and respond
to teachers as the teachers were powerfully and impressively speaking
to the students.
The environment of the class is bright and stylish. Particular point
that I liked was that when I looked at outside from the window, I
could see the roof of QVB, which always made me think the class is
very stylish. It is hardly possible to speak like native English
speakers, but I could easily be exposed to English at JEC. I could
speak English more than anywhere else and, as a result, I could naturally
learn respond what I am supposed to say in any situation. Another
point I loved was that teachers are different at each class. Every
teacher here is very cheerful and respectful, and they led me to
having accurate pronunciation. Clear statement with fascinating gesture
and rhythm; you can find this only at JEC. I had a really fun at
JEC, and I am planning on coming back to Sydney in order to take
some more classes at JEC! |

| I attended to one of the major school in Australia, and I have had a big question
holding in my mind since then: Why are there no correction of conversation
among students and why do they do activities that can be done after
school? However, at JEC, you have an interaction with the lecturer
so that you do not keep going with incorrect sentences among students.
Even though it was only a three-hour long class, we repeat the speech
in which I had some errors, and I could, thus, pronounce better and
feel the intensity of the class. My impression on JEC is valuable
and attractive with no obligation or duty, and also, the teachers
are very passionate at teaching. |

With the 2nd Year Working Holiday Visa and through some thoughts on learning
English, I have come the decision of focusing on speaking ability;
thus, I decided to take a trail lesson at JEC.
At first, I was shocked at how different is to learn at JEC from
other language institutions. However, the difference made my learning
so effective that I could easily hear what the native English speakers
speak very easily by implementing accurate pronunciation in my ears.
I am convinced that at JEC students can improve the English ability
of not only speaking but also listening.
In recent, a British friend of mine who used to work together at
farm for fruit picking visited me in Sydney, and he was amazed by
my English improvement because I could understand what he was saying
in the conversation even though he was speaking as if he were speaking
in English to his native English friends. Actually, I was the one
who was surprised at most with such a short term of lessons at JEC.
It really is great to have the confidence and result of the lessons
at JEC. |

 For three months, I had participated in a language institute, but I did not think
my English ability was sharpened as much as I had expected. With
little bit of the disappointment, I was seeking for some other institutions
to brush up my English ability. Through the thought above, I ended
up putting myself in JEC. This institution has provided me many chances
to speak as well as to correct my pronunciation so that I feel I
am getting better in my speaking. I just started taking classes at
JEC, so I cannot specifically see what is going to come at the end
of the term, but hopefully, at the end, JEC helps not only my speaking
but also my writing skills productive, and I would love to keep taking
courses at JEC as long as it provides me fruitful results. |

 JEC surely changed my thought on English, although I, at the beginning, was not certain for how JEC effectively improves my English; I was suspicious of its slogan, think in English. With the doubtful thought of mine and the different learning method of JEC, it took for a while to become accustomed to JEC, but at the third week, I became a hang of it, and I could learn English joyfully. I honestly think that I would love to attend this school more to improve my English. |

 I have been, for long, looking for a language institution with concentrating
dramatically on speaking due to lack of my improvement in speaking,
particularly pronunciation. During the time I was in the search,
I was lucky enough to find that JEC was launched, and then I had
a trial which convinced me that this is the school for which I have
been searching. The class at JEC went by as fast as the native English
speaks. Even though the speed of class is little overwhelming, my
inspiration tells me that I can improve my speaking English with
this class. Actually, before taking the class, I honestly doubt of
how effective this would work, yet obviously, I am smooched with
this method. There is no way out when taking a class, so the students
need massive amount of concentration, but this is the reason why
this pedagogy is so attractive. I strongly recommend JEC for the
students who would like to improve their speaking ability in a short
length of time. |

| Class with Callan method is very unique and different from classes at other institutions,
particularly in speaking. In fact, the quantity of the time the students
speak in the class is larger than any other language institutions.
The most impressive point is that all we do is simply a lot of listening
and speaking repeatedly. The experienced and well disciplined teachers
of native English speakers instantly and accurately correct our pronunciation,
and a class consists of small numbers of students so that it is not
much different from taking a private one on one lesson. At the first
class, I felt little overwhelmed with the fast pace of speaking,
yet by listening repeatedly, I can catch phrases naturally, and this
is the point which made me amazed at most. As a matter of fact, I
could take 3 weeks only, but the class was so fun that I would absolutely
love to take the course next time I come back to Australia. |
