Direct Method for English (DME) are modern coursebooks designed for teaching English with the direct method. The DME books are the collaborative work of expert teachers with over 10 years of experience in teaching English with direct methods, including the Callan Method. Based on the direct method, they help the student to master a lot of vocabulary as well as to learn to successfully communicate in English in an attractive and pleasant way.

While preserving all the advantages of the Callan Method, the up-to-date Direct Method for English coursebooks also offer:

• clear and logical page layout as well as nice graphics to make
  it easier to use the coursebook,
• up-to-date and useful vocabulary (the whole course covers over 3900 words),
• phonetic transcription for every new word,
• interesting questions in natural spoken English,
• easy-to-understand grammar (as well as additional grammar exercises).

The current 2nd edition of the DME coursebooks has been thoroughly changed and improved based on hundreds of comments received from teachers who used the 1st edition.

Every DME coursebook - designed to facilitate and simplify self-study - contains:

• two stages with all new words accompanied by phonetic transcription,
• readings and dictations,
• sets of additional grammar exercises,
• an alphabetical vocabulary index,
• a CD (mp3) containing all new words, questions and answers as well as dictations.
